Turnkey PCC Rifle Options

[gatordev]

Better look at trajectories for different weight bullets. I shoot mostly sub-sonic 147-158 grains which fall off much sooner than lighter supers.

I’m thinking a zero that corresponds to a 100 yard 5.56 would be good. The POI would never be over. Quick to estimate center mass. Not so hot for close up head shots. My 74 year old eyes are center mass only.

So the intent here isn't to make it a combat effective weapon, but instead to mimic the intrinsic height-over-bore issue that a 5.56 gun would have. This PCC will generally only be shot 25y and in in a training environment, as it's currently the only way to work close up stuff with my current range availability situation. If I can hit a full size plate at 100y with my Glock zeroed at 25y (semi-consistently, anyway), the rifle should have even less drop if I were to zero it at 25y, which would normally be a decent choice. But if I'm trying to simulate HOB and shooting a target at 15-20y, POI would pretty much match POA.

I'm thinking (and this is the question) that if I moved the zero farther out, then bullet would still be coming up at 25y and POI would lower than POA, which would be close enough for government work. I'm just not sure how flat 9mm shoots.

The round would just be 115gr ball.

Just getting a thread protector? No muzzle device?

For now. I only have one pistol can, which is currently configured with a 1/2x28 thread to be able to put on a Glock. With no muzzle device, if I wanted to shoot it suppressed, this makes it easy. If I wanted to add something later, I'd probably look at a 3-lug muzzle device, or if the recoil is "worse" than I'm expecting, maybe a CMT brake. But I'm thinking that may not be necessary.

This whole thing is just one big experiment, hence trying to keep the initial cost to entry down.
