I am building a 300 blackout and i have several pounds of hs-6 powder. I am in need of some sub sonic load info for this powder. I will be launching 220 gr smks.

Thanks

HS6 is too fast a powder for ARs. It is not compatible with the gas system.

rsilvers, what powder would you recommend for subsonic 220 SMKs out of a 8 or 10" barrel?

Thanks.
 
Re: 300aac load data

A1680 is better for 175 grain and probably 168. H-110 is better for 155s and under.
 
Re: 300aac load data

will load data for 16" barrel be close enough for use in an 11" barrel?

thank you.

I'm in Cabot and I've been loading the 300 with AA9, N110, and 1680. N110 gives me the best accuracy with 220s.

thanx for the good load data guys, I made a bunch of cases today and getting ready to load them up for a 16" barrel.
