Something he said caught my ear, and it does not sound right at all. He said he was shooting 178 (or 158, I don't remember which) grain projectiles. Black Hills I believe is the brand he mentioned.
He said that number a couple of times, and I want to say he's mistaken, but I honestly don't know. 158 (or 178 for that matter) sounds horrendously heavy for an AR in 5.56, at least compared to 55 and 62 grain that's the norm. The heaviest I was able to find (read cursory glance) a little bit back was somewhere in the 70-80 grain ballpark.
158/178 sounds more into the 300 blackout, .308, or 30-06 area than a 5.56.
