Re: .300 Blackout
Scott, replaced the mag, epoxied the mag well, had to replace the mag release cause it got bent, and when I got the upper back from the gunsmith put it all back together and it was GTG. It was lucky I was using a LIGHT load or it would have gone kaboom!

No, but it makes much more sense than 22LR, since 22WMR is .224! On the other hand, why not just download 223 to 22WMR velocities and change the buffer/spring to accommodate the change in pressures?

The GM Wildcat was called the FM-2. Bigger engine and taller tail to handle the extra power. Most of the Wildcats flying these days are the FM-2 variety as one guy bought a bunch of them after the war for some reason or other.

That's not one of the Speer bullets, at least not the 146gr HP or 160 SWC. Doesn't look like something Speer made. Might be home made. The Speer bullets had a copper cup that covered the entire bearing surface. Wish they still made the 160 SWC one!
