Canned bacon? Do you cook it or heat it up?
Yeah, they get up and MOVE!! One of my favorite cartridges for the roll yer own hand jive. My usual powder/projectile recipe gets ‘em out and about to right around 3975 fps. I’ve had ‘em faster but no need for it really. Just a fun all around smaller Cal. round in my opinion.
It’s going to be way more accurate than your typical AR. Varmint shooters will typically use lighter bullets, longer barrels and a slower barrel twist rate.
You can trick-out an AR to be a pretty good varmint shooter, usually with a 20 inch or longer stainless barrel with a 1:9 or 1:8 twist.
The one I’m looking at has a 1:10 barrel twist for shooting lighter weight bullets (higher velocity).
I guess I don’t understand the concept of barrel twist vs. velocity in long guns.
Is a a 1:20 twist more accurate vs. 1:10? Wouldn’t that need much more powder?
I only bought the AR and SCAR because 0bama was going to take that right away from me.
Give me a shotgun and I can knock the eye out of a burglar at 10 feet...if my contacts are in.
But I used to have my way with dove and ducks though.
No screwdrivers, no taking your eye off the scope; just dope it in. I like the solid adjustment “clicks”. I like mildots, too.
Ditto; it looks ‘sleek’.
The longer the bullet, the faster the spin rate needed to stabilize it. That means heavier bullets need a higher spin rate, 1:9 is faster than 1:12 (one turn in 9 inches vs. one turn in 12 inches). But a light bullet spun faster than needed is less accurate than spinning at the least rate for stability. That is why varmit rifles often have a slower spin rate...because they are made for light, explosive bullets.
Heavy bullets need a faster twist in order to stabilize. Otherwise they will tumble. A longer barrel will typically give you higher velocity - more time for powder to burn. You can use a slower burning powder. I’m not sure, but guess that would give you a lighter recoil too.
Sloppy Joes.... mmmmmmmmmmm!
That bacon is delicious and has 50-60 slices/per can x 12 cans, and is a far better buy than bacon by the pound. No muss, no fuss, just warm-up and make BLTs and grilled cheese/ham and bacon, with a large bowl of home-made ham & bean soup, all day long. Woo-Hoo! Life is good.
Sounds gud
I’m sure it’s all physics I’ve not researched.
I should do that. Owning a Ferrari doesn’t mean I know how to use one.
All I know is 50cal Smokepole bought a heavy barrel for his AR and he could shoot metal spinng targets at 300 yards.
It’s already smoked and cooked, ready to heat and eat. I’ve blown thru 4 cans in 5 days with BLTs and grilled cheese, ham & bacon sandwiches. Ordered more cases of bacon and ground beef to stock the shelves. It’s delicious and very addicting. Heh. No muss, no fuss, no grease (completely drained).
The original M-16 started out with a lighter bullet and slow twist rate. They use heavier bullets with a steel core now for better penetration, which requires a faster twist rate.

4 legged varmints don’t wear body armor, so we can use lighter/faster bullets/cartridges.
300 yards should be pretty easy with a decent scope and the right ammo.
hmm...
I’m a little skeptical since I ordered your bacon popcorn and bacon croutons.
It’s so easy to make bacon in the microwave.
Our FAVORITE appetizer is a ¼ bacon strip wrapped around a canned whole chestnut with a toothpick through it.
To die for! We serve them every party.
I have a heavy barrel on my AR-10/7.62x51-.308, and it easily reaches 600yds in 3” groups, with a Leupold Mark 4 CQ/T 1-3x14mm.
I had the Mark 4 LR/T 8.5-25x50mm w/ BORS on it a couple of times, swapped from the old Barrett .50, and it easily reached 1,000-1,100yds in 3.5” groups.
I’m getting another Mark 4 LR/T w/ BORS for the AR-10, and will swap the Mark 4 CQ/T to another Class III suppressed AR-10.
Mmmmmm...
