    300 Blackout- what weight bullet would you like?

    So far, the most common weight bullets in the 300 BLK OUT are the 110 V-max, 125 Nosler BT, and the 208 A-max (subsonic). If you could have another bullet weight, what weight and type of bullet would it be? 130, 150, 175, 180 grain??? Plastic tip, BTSP, SP, BTHP, solid copper? Here's some...

    6.5X47 brass in a 6.5 Creedmoor chamber?

    Re: 6.5X47 brass in a 6.5 Creedmoor chamber? The x47 case is shorter, so you will lose a lot of neck. I don't think it would work.

    Reloading .270?

    Re: Reloading .270? I have used H and IMR 4350, H and IMR 4831, and R22 with good results. I like mag primers in my 270 loads, but standard primers will also work fine.

    300 WM, RE-22 and 210 SMK for 1000 yards

    Re: 300 WM, RE-22 and 210 SMK for 1000 yards R22 is a good powder for the 300 WM. Most people will use H1000 or Retumbo when you get up to the 210 and 220/225/230 grain bullets. You can get a little more speed with the slower powders. And R22 is a little temp sensistive from winter to summer...

    260 powder

    Re: 260 powder 90% of your 260 shooters will be using H4350 with the 130 and/or 140 grain bullets. I've tested H4350, R17, H4831, and even H1000. R17 gave a little more speed than H4350 with good accuracy, but it's a temp sensistive powder. H4831 shot ok and had high ES numbers. H1000 was...

    Barrel going south?

    Re: Barrel going south? Try a couple of things. 1- chase the rifling by seating the bullet out further and see if this helps restore. 2- rework the load by testing about .2 to .3 grains above and below your normal load and see what you get. 3- clean the rifle good. My comp rifles like no...

    F T/R Competition .308 208Amax

    Re: .308 208Amax R17 works, but is not temp stable. I've played with Alliant's 2000MR with great results. You will get similar speeds, and you can get more powder in the case, since it's a ball powder, and it's temp stable. This powder was designed for heavy bullets in a 308 and 223 case to...

    300 BLK upper or rifle in 300BLK?

    Re: 300 BLK upper or rifle in 300BLK? You could do just a barrel swop in 300 BLK OUT, and use your existing upper. I have seen several guys do this. If you want an upper, Model 1, CMMW, and Ross Precision have uppers. When you need ammo, look HERE.

    Brass Sorting and RCBS Chargemaster?

    Re: Brass Sorting and RCBS Chargemaster? When you shoot 1 load with multiple brands of brass, each brand will have a different internal case volume. This will effect the pressure of the load, which will also increase/decrease the fps of the bullet. You will also get different neck tensions...

    Range Report Suggestions on rifling twist for 6.5mm bullets

    Re: Suggestions on rifling twist for 6.5mm bullets I run a 1:8.5 twist on all my 260 Rem barrels. It will stabilize all the 140 class bullets just fine. Technically, a 1:9 will also stabilize a 140, but it's right on the edge. The only thing I've seen an issue with is shooting my 260 Rem...

    Range Report 300 BLKOUT, 200 yds with 208 A-max subsonic w/pics

    I went to the range yesterday to work on some loads for a few rifles at 200 yards. While I was there, I had a buddies 300 BLK OUT he wanted me to shoot. So I screwed on my can, grabbed 10 rounds of my 208 A-max subsonic ammo and dialed some elevation into the scope. I put 5 rounds down range at...

    F T/R Competition .308 stability issues

    Re: .308 stability issues The A-max's would be a great dual purpose bullet for hunting and match shooting. The 178 A-max wold be my pick. I've killed a lot of stuff with the A-max. The 165 BT has a poor BC, and that's why it's going subsonic and tumbling/keyholing.

    Re: 300 winmag newbie 1000 yrd help pls I've been running the new Hornady 225 BTHP and figuring a G7 BC of .352. It's a huge BC! The 208 is good, but the 225 hits even harder on steel.
