Rifles Descriptions

Bushmaster Gas Piston 90294

The Bushmaster Gas Piston System Rifles bring new levels of reliability to the “AR” type rifle platform by eliminating carbon build up, gas leaks and heat within the Upper Receiver. The Gas Piston System operates by tapping gas pressure off the barrel much like the systems found on AK-47s and FALs * Functions with a wider range of ammunition - less gas pressure - lower cyclic rate * Offers improved reliability and control - with cleaner operation and reduced recoil * Keeps carbon build up and powder residue from reaching - and fouling the Upper Receiver and Bolt Carrier * A Detented Plug in the Gas Block allows easy cleaning of the Systems’ Hard Chrome Plated Piston

Hornady 308 Palma 155 Grain A Max Match

308 Winchester Palma Match At the heart of the 308 Winchester Palma Match load is the respected 155 grain A-MAX bullet that maintains supersonic velocities out to 1000 yards. The load achieves 2,850 fps from a 24-inch barrel but is still safely within established SAAMI pressure guidelines. Cases are hand selected based on strict criteria: wall thickness uniformity, internal capacity, case weight and consistent wall concentricity. We get proper bullet seating, consistent charges and pressures, optimal velocity and repeatable accuracy. The loading process for our match rifle ammo begins with hand selected components and a final hand inspection. Powder is matched carefully to each specific load for optimal pressure, velocity and consistent accuracy. Like the powder, the primers we select are the highest quality available, perfectly matched to the load. Buds Item #: 56790
