22 ARC has knocked my socks off!

Mine is a gas gun with no gas, is it still a gas gun? I was hoping for a little more, but it’ll work just fine for the intended purpose. Just need the right critter to get in front of it now. Got to shoot a couple of jackrabbits last night with the 62 and it was quite dramatic. I hope it performs well for coyotes, that providing that I do my part.
 
Yes, it's still a "gas gun" for reloading purposes. The down-loaded gas gun load data from Hornady is meant to protect the AR15 bolt, which, when expanded to Grendel diameter is weaker than a 223 bolt.
I think the AR15 barrel extension and bolt should be reimagined to allow for higher pressures. But it would have to be standardized somehow. Seems like anything "proprietary" in the AR15 world is DOA.
 
62gr eld-vt has killed 1/2 doz coyotes so far, so far so good. Known accuracy issues likely derived from the type of rifling and twist rates. If you have a barrel that shoots em, I would endorse them at this point. Not a huge advantage over 60gr vmax inside 300yds imo. 60gr vmax is a coyote hammer. My latest thing is the 25-45 sharps. Mv3100 with 70gr bj. Just straight up stones everything it hits. Sounds like someone hitting a pillow with a baseball bat or a a NFL kicker punting a football.
