    Green mountain is one of many companies that offer a 9mm blank and would certainly be a viable option.

    Mcgowen offered all of the options I was looking for so it made sense to go with them on this build.

    do you have your ammo or components yet?
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    I have a BCA upper in 350 legend which piqued the interest in this project so I have ammo/components for it. So far haven't found an ammo it doesn't like but have only handloaded Hornady 170gr pills which also shot well.

    With the bolt gun I will be interested in loading a "generic" load for a go to and then working on casting/loading a subsonic round.

    Rifle together and couldn't be happier with the McGowen barrel.

    Did a very basic break in, shot a cple rounds, cleaned, repeated 3x then fired a few groups. Took it home and cleaned the barrel well, very minimal copper and it cleaned up fine.

    Next trip to the range was sub moa at 100 with factory ammo, just starting to work up loads with 170gr Hornadys- hope to start casting soon.

    Thanks for all the replies
