Okay Josh, I'm hooked on the 7.62x40 and am going to order a barrel to swap out with one of my 16" ARs.
I'm over on another forum's archives reading the 66 page thread on the original development of the cartridge to try to pick up some pointers.
Anyone have any experience with this cartridge or words of wisdom to impart to me regarding barrel length, load data, etc., to help keep me out of trouble (God knows, I need all the help I can get staying out of trouble!)?
I am building this rifle mainly to hunt hogs and coyotes with supersonic loads, so at this point, I'm not looking to go subsonic. Although that make be something I get into down the road.
Working 60-65 hour weeks doesn't leave a lot of time to play.
Planning on retiring later this year (wahoo!), so no telling what I can branch out into.
