Subs - LeHigh vs TNT

[Guns&WhiteWater]

Recovered a couple of rounds fired into water filled milk jugs at just under 1000 FPS. No expansion on the Speer 125 TNT, which was a little surprising. Complete/over expansion of the LeHigh 194’s.

RARR in 300 BLK with 4.0g Titegroup. Stupid quite.

Titegroup in blkout?

Titegroup in blkout?

Yeah, I was surprised by how well it works. 5.0 grains with 147 tracers and 6.8 grains with 194 LeHigh Defense Max Exp. Quietest powder I’ve tried yet, burns clean, doesn’t leave unburned powder in my ultra 7, and lasts forever. Only problem is that it is too small a charge to reliably flow through my Harrell’s.

Wow, really cool.

Did it cycle?

It’s a bolt action so no issues there. Just something I picked up for camping. It’s been more fun than I thought it would be.

Those Rugers are pretty fun - shoot very well too for what they are IMO. I've tried unique in mine with 178 Hornadys and it does pretty well. Like your load - stupid quiet with the can on. When shooting that load, I've gotten funny looks from friends who are used to the louder subsonics.

Kind of a fun backyard experiment using a variety of rifles and milk jugs full of water. My wife said I was a nerd.

Was really impressed with the Barnes 110 TAC-TX. They’ve got it figured out.

One more...

Those Barnes 110s are the iconic 300 BO bullet and my go to for hunting. A while back there were a bunch of pulls on the market - those made great practice rounds to really dial things in.

That 110gr looks nasty, I need to buy some more.

I might have to try a TG load in an AR. I’ve got some 217gr cadges and coated bullets.

I used the black tips for hunting hogs in FL. 300BO and my can made them pretty quiet. Usually killed the hog right there or might go 10-15yds and fall over. Loved those things.
