.338 is barely larger. 300gr vs 220gr. I've deliberated over this for a couple of months. If you're going to up-gun and step up to pricey bullets you may as well go to .375 for the 350gr SMK, 400gr sub-expanding, and then you have the option of affordable 270gr Speer soft points. C4D will make a Dillon trim die to convert 308W brass in one pass through the toolhead.
But then I'd need to build a massive Form 1 can, 12" x 2". 10" of barrel and 12" of can, haha
It's CH4D and I wouldn't pay them for jack shit. After what they ran me through, the lies they told and accusations made (accused me of JB welding a goddamn die together, just so they couldn't fix it, instead of providing warranty work they sent me two new dies, at new cost, without my permission and using a CC I gave them for a specific sale over a year ago). I use Whidden now, wish I'd known from the start. Anyway, they can make ANYTHING. Call and ask to speak directly to the die manager, he'll take care of you. Prices were reasonable, on par I suppose, but quality was way, way better.
It's who I go to when I need a custom trim die for a Dillon press. And they make it so it sizes or not and how and what degree it sizes is up to you. OR they can make it so it'll still hold the brass and trim without sizing. Not an easy feat.
I just got an ultra 5 and ultra 9 30 cal. I'd like to get a rifle to load up with subs and play with. Any cool ones out there? A 308 pistol, or similar would also be on the table. I'd like to to be on the lighter weight end of things.
Caliber shouldn't really matter - I should be able to load subs with trailboss powder in most calibers. I was thinking a 308 or even 6.5 would work.
Does anybody put a tactical scope on a sub gun to play with "longer range" shots?
Thanks!
I have an Ultra 5 and a 30CB9, the one that came out before the Ultra9. You don't wanna use short barrel .308's with those. Check TBAC's requirements. A short .300BLK is a different story. The Sig folder is the one to go with for pure size, nothing is more compact and remember, .300BLK doesn't lose a lot over rifle length barrels so you get near AK47 performance out of an SBR firing supers PLUS it can fire subs, and do it all accurately suppressed or not. It's really one of the best AR rounds IMO, along with 5.56 and 6.5G. Must have AR chamberings if you will.
.308 ain't the best round to sub, but whatever. Especially in a semi.
This is as short as I can build one using an 8.2" Noveske bbl. and a Maxim or whoever collapsible stock. It uses the Ultra 5 and is only like 3.5" longer because of it. Ultra 5 will actually hush one of these up about as well as some other mfg.'s flagship cans will and the 9"? None better. Or lighter.
This one has the 30CB9 right now and that mount is being diverted to another project. 8.5"bbl.
I'd consider that Noveske upper were I you. This rifle is complete, 10.5", and it's probably one of the handiest and lightest AR's I've got. Never used it though, it was a collector piece I got for my ex wife. I'll probably shoot it later next year maybe. Or not. I have others. But that upper for $1350 above comes WITH an MRO? Same as the one on the rifle above? Noveske makes a great barrel too and .300BLK is hard to wear out. I'd jump on that for the MRO alone, hell, he's basically asking half price for both items!
