				That oughta be good for about three feet of flame.
With 220 gr bullets, it'd be a handful.

				This might stop the muzzle flash and make it a tad front heavy

I believe the original loading for the .303 was something like a 220gr back in the day.
The Brit's got to bitching about the recoil....the Germans had the 8mm with a lighter, flatter shooting bullet....so, the Brits adopted a lighter bullet load, probably the 174gr you mentioned.   No shame, we did the exact same with our 30-06 went down to 150-148gr rounds.  
I did like the "can".... 
 
I bet it gets "hotter than a $2 pistol"...

				Thanks Juha....that was a fun read...much enjoyed.  
 
Some folks over in the "lounge"...have never seen a AK, let alone, a shovel.
