[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3197840, member: 29706"] I agree that it will be an interesting development but the one thing I see as being a shortcoming is that you will likely not be able to convert 223 brass over as the stretch will likely end up causing splits more than anything and unless it is VASTLY superior to 300BLK in energy then it will end up being a niche round like the 224 Valkyrie is right now. And right now it looks like it will have lighter bullet weight compared to 300BLK. Not to mention that 300BLK will work with ANY off the shelf .308 bullet which is another thing to think about as the cost to reload will be a lot higher and I have my doubts that cast lead will work correctly if their energy claims are true. The only saving feature would be the ability to use .357 pistol FMJ for plinking, if that isn't possible it will take a while to catch on. [/QUOTE]
