[QUOTE="Legendary350, post: 3860709, member: 51321"] I wouldn't go with 296 either, it's too slow for an 8" barrel with light bullets. I used it a lot for heavy bullets in .357 and .45LC, but I just think this is too long a case for it, don't need the fireball either. Also, living in AZ, temperature sensitivity is something that I'm going to have to look out for. I shoot PCC in competition. In the summer the aluminum handguards get so hot, we need to wear gloves. In the AR the mag length isn't an issue with these stubbly bullets, feeding is the issue. I have a Ruger AR. They really messed-up the extension feed ramps. It was originally cut with standard 5.56 ramps. I sent it back and they did some work, but it still wouldn't feed anything. I had to have a local smith work on it. I have a custom upper being built that I'll be concentrating on. Once I decide on loads for it, I'll go back to the Ruger and see what it needs to work right. [/QUOTE]
