Good morning
Bought an upper in 45 Bushmaster. When we get back north this summer to our Great Nation will have a learning experience with it. Plan to shoot cast in it. My expectations from what I read is that it will about equal in performance our 45-60 1876 rifle with 3F Goex which is no mouse gun out to 100 yards. 260 grainers to about 300 grains looks to be the better slugs to be loading.
So any advice you may have will be happily read.
Mike in LLama Land

No help from this camp, sorry. Looks interesting though. If someone is to hunt WT deer with an AR that looks like the one to use. One bit of advice I will give is to keep an eye one your brass.

Thank you Dan The rig comes with about 100 pieces of Brass. At Starline it is 68 cents each in the box of 250. We do have a couple of the AR brass bags that hook to the receiver. Bought those when we started to shot the Winchester 1910 in 401 Winchester. That beast ejects brass with an attitude.
So when we started with the 300 BLKout mounted a bag on that receiver the first day.

"" ejects brass with an attitude"" That's funny!
The most aggressive brass ejection I have ever seen was from a CZ model 52 in 7.62 Tokarev. Anyone standing in that line of fire could get a serious secondary projectile injury. The 7.62 Tok is one hot round pushing a 90/100gn bullet to 2000 fps from a 4" barrel.

That Tokarev is one hot round. When we bought our Mauser 1896 Broomhandles there were Mauser "experts" selling that Tokarev ammo to use in the Broohandles. Makes me wonder how any Mausers were "field stripped" the fast dangerous way??

The 30 Mauser and 7.62 Tok are different loadings of the same cartridge. The Mauser round is loaded to a much lower pressure than the Tok.
