This Looks Interesting......

I pulled this still shot from a video I shot last month, that's my 20" Bashmonster shooting a near-maximum charge of Lil Gun (35.0) with a 250-grain Hornady FTX. According to my best guesstimation, this load should be giving me around 2250 fps, and the accuracy is good enough when I do things properly, it's been awhile since I shot a big-bore semiauto off a bench, and I get jumpy and twitchy pretty quickly.
I don't know if this is a common occurrence with the 450, or any other AR-based rifle shooting somewhat stout loads. I'm not too worried about it, but it does seem like the bolt is opening a little faster than normal. I'm still working on my crimping, not quite satisfied with the consistency there, even though I'm not using a chronograph, they feel a little different from shot to shot.
Your thoughts?
