Talk about a smokin 130 grain round!! 
It's a little big for an AR platform but I can certainly dream!!

I could see this round chambered in a bolt gun. The ballistics on this round must be incredible! I'll have to look into the ballistic coefficient at 3400fps as it must be close to 0.600...

Without going to the house and getting out a reloading data book, I would like to know what cartridge this round derived from.
How would it compare to the .308 ? ? ? 
Seems like a nice cartridge according to its specs.

That cartridge is getting close to the shoulder angle of the Ackley Improved cartridges at 40*.
A nice move on the specs.
I have put some thought of doing the Ackley shoulder angle on My Remington 700 30-06.
The differences I read is about an 8% gain in velocity.
The lowest number, in the article is a 6% increase in velocity, below that and it does`nt appear to be enough of an improvement to do all the work and machining.
BUT, this topic is`nt about Ackley improved chamber/cartridges, so, If I decide to pursue the mod. I will start another topic on the matter, unless, someone else in the forum wants to get some information before I get toooit.
