[QUOTE="Okanogan, post: 2640274, member: 90397"] I ran factory Norma 150 gr FMJ target loads through my 16 inch SFAR with no signs of over pressure with the #2 setting and no suppressor. I generally find that most of my gas guns, regardless of caliber, tend to show ejector marks sooner than I would expect to see with my bolt guns. My 6.8 SPC in particular shows light marks with factory 120 grain sst ammo. I handload almost all my ammunition and generally never make it to the full max charge weight in my gas guns because I don't like beating up my equipment and components. The reduction isn't usually more than 1-2 grains so it doesn't concern me as long as I can work up a load with good accuracy. The information that came with my GAP10 said specifically not to push the pressures in handloads and that is probably good advice for all gas guns. While I don't have extended experience with my SFAR, it seemed to perform similar to my other gas guns except that I expect better accuracy from my Craddock Precision uppers and GAP10. [/QUOTE]
