    The Rattler gave up 300 fps to a 9” MCX and came in at around 1825 fps. While this is enough velocity to expand in soft tissue within 25 yards and after many barriers, I’m not surprised that it chokes on soft armor. FWIW, I’ve seen other articles on the load that quote around 1800 fps for the 110 grain Barnes load out of a Rattler and 2100 fps from 9” barrels; none as high as 2K from the Rattler.
    I keep coming back to this. My analyst side keeps telling me a second 9” .300 upper with a LVPO would be a good capability extender for my Rattler.

    I’m going to be ten minutes away from SIG today, and they have the uppers in stock…

    … but not in the store, so I ordered one. They did finally have my MCX 11.5” 5.56 upper in, though. Saved me the shipping.

    I’m trying to decide if I need this or not. My legacy MCX has both 16” 556 and 300 barrels, but no option for change unless I have them cut down. I picked up a rattler upper in 300 a while ago. The question is do I spend the coin on a virtus upper, getting access to all the parts/conversions, etc? Or wait for the rumored gen 3.

    By the time you will be able to buy a Gen 3 they will have announced Gen 4.

    I started getting Virtus upper back in stock notifications a couple weeks after the Gen 3 discussions started trending.

    You are probably correct.

    I went a little MCX happy before I left NH. I ended up with two Rattler lowers (SBRed and factory pistol) and 5.5” 300, 5.5” 5.56 (my “you go home now” configuration), 9” 300 and 11.5” 5.56 uppers plus different style stocks and braces. Yeesh.

    Crazy might be an understatement. Sig sells the lowers?

    Nope. I was looking for a second lower to keep in pistol configuration and was made an offer on a new complete 5.56 Rattler that was so cheap that I couldn’t say no.

    Tried this today, mainly just to try it.

    Thanks @Clusterfrack for the Magnetospeed recommendation, it worked great!
