unforgiven Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Guy at the range the other day gave me some of those blue plastic rounds to try.They go off like a cap gun.They would not extract,it was a PITA to dig out.Will as you know not cycle the action.From my 100 yrd. zero they flew right a 3:00 even with the bullseye 4" to the right.There was a slight wind left to right.Found the "bullet" it is hard plastic.

Robocop1051 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 A cap gun that shoots 4500+ fps!!! Hk (or FN) makes a special bolt and gas system for their G3 (or FAL, I can't remember which) to cycle that ammo. I don't see any way a DI rifle will cycle that ammo. There's just not enough gas and the bullet is moving too fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Cool! Those would probably be ideal for a Ruger Scout Rifle or something. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unforgiven Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 A bolt action,which is what the guy that gave them to me uses is the ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 I'll bet if you stayed close to the ground, out of the wind, it would make a decent varmint round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 It's a 15gr plastic projectile. Not a lot of bang, but still plenty of kill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Armory Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Cool! Those would probably be ideal for a Ruger Scout Rifle or something. Jon Remind me before we meet next time so I can give you a box of 50 to try in the Ruger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Armory Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 so....exactly how loud are we talking here? backyard target practice loud? Too loud to shoot indoors ! About like a 22short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Armory Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 I'll bet if you stayed close to the ground, out of the wind, it would make a decent varmint round. More accurate than Rene is giving it credit for. JMHO should kill , cats , rabbits , squirrels , gophers and little rat like dogs. But your neigbors might be pissed off with you shooting a large frame ar in your hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planeflyer21 Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Remind me before we meet next time so I can give you a box of 50 to try in the Ruger Tom's got the Ruger GSR. It'd probably be a good round for something like the H&R single-shot .308 rifle too. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Or even a Thompson Contender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Encore...Thompson Encore is the one in the bad-boy calibers. Think ARs are bad? Buy anyone of those interchangeable barreled systems. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
