If I haven't seen enough cartridges in this world. I mean, c'mon just look in the back of PO Ackley's books with all those wild permutations of brass with ordinary bullets, primer and powder - what were they thinkin'? Did they expect there'd be some miraculous breakthrough from some odd chamber shape reamed into the breech to come up with a magic bullet? Like, is there really a need for yet another AR-15 cartridge?
Ok, so it can stack twenty-five rounds in a magazine. So? Did I mention it's a big bore, can push over 2,700 FT-LBS out a 10mm barrel? From a little AR-15? Yes!
Okay, so there's a new high-power AR-15 cartridge, the 400AR. It's still a wildcat, so you'd have to convert an AR-15 by adding a custom barrel, off-the-shelf bolt and modified magazine, not to mention making the cartridges - necking, sizing, trimming, etc.
But what about it? Is this just a compromise between extremes? Or is there a sweet spot in the middle? The article says it rates over 26 on the Taylor KO Factor so hits harder than a .300 Win Mag with half the kick. C'mon! Really? How?
Can this be for real?
