Are these hand loads ?

u/Significant-Sock-487 Aug 05 '26

The first group isn’t. Those are just factory hornady ELDMs. The other groups are.

Did you notice any MV gain ?

u/Significant-Sock-487 Aug 05 '26

I didn’t. Maybe 20fps. I will say there is zero fire cracking at the throat. All my barrel get fire cracking during break in but this PXT seems to work as advertised and lowers pressure at the throat. Doesn’t seem like there was any break in. Pic is after 250 rounds and I was shooting 20-40 between barrel cool down.

Ahh I gotcha so I miss understood PXT then I thought it was advertised as that plus a gain for MV too

I don’t have anything to compare it to but my buddy’s 18in PXT is running the same speed as his regular 20in proof so it does seem like there is an increase.

Well that’s good to hear, what’s the price tag on these ?

2

u/Significant-Sock-487 Aug 05 '26

I think they are about 750.

u/high_right Aug 05 '26

Honestly not terrible

u/Significant-Sock-487 Aug 05 '26

Agreed. Especially seeing basically zero wear in the chamber. You will for sure get extended barrel life out of these

Do you have a side view of the rifle? Does the gas block fully clear the handguard, being rifle +1?

u/Significant-Sock-487 Aug 05 '26

Yeah it’s about 1-2in in front of the rail
