Re: Custom sub bullet design, 220gr
You could also go to NOE molds and buy one of his molds that are basically what you are seeking. I have a similar one to what he sells from another maker and really like it. It is basically a copy of the Lee mold without all the bad features. As to the stock Lee mold, I bought one and have not had g...

Re: "Suggested Subsonic Load" from AAC...
+1 for the Competition Electronics. Have one I got on sale from Midway years back for $79(no tripod...that was extra) and it has been very reliable. Just bought a Caldwell complete kit for under 150...haven't had a chance to use it yet, but the android app looks pretty slick. I just recently bought...

quick test, unigue, green dot, and 2400 subs
Been using 1680 for subs in my AR, but wanted something quieter for the Encore. Today I loaded up a couple each with unique, green dot, and 2400 powders under a 230 grain cast lead bullet similar in design to the Lee bullet from an old ACE group buy on castboolits. This bullet gives me inch or so gr...

Re: Newb wants to get started reloading 300 BLK
Nothing at all wrong with that Lee kit. Matter of fact that is pretty much exactly what I started with over 20 years ago. Still use the press and most of the other items. It is plenty strong enough for what you are doing. I load 300 WBY on mine with no issues sizing that big case. Others will tell y...

Re: Encore barrels in BLK??
WLC glad you like your encore barrel. You are right, the single shot is much quieter than a AR. I have 2 ARs in the blkout and one for my encore. If you want some super quiet loads for it get you a couple boxes of light bullets 125gn or less and a bottle of trail boss. Great loads for making you gi...

Quietest powders for single shots?
Been loading for my AR using 1680 for subs with good luck. Just recently (as in last week) got a Bergara barrel for my Encore. Been playing around in quick load and loading up a few with some of the powders I have on hand. Mostly American Select and Green Dot. Loading them with a 230 gr cast bullet ...

Re: Encore barrels in BLK??
A big thank you for that link to Marty at hausofarms!! Ordered over the weekend and it arrived today. I like the free shipping deal too. Not many folks will honor that when shipping to Alaska. I got it put on the frame this afternoon, cleaned the barrel and couldn't wait till I mounted a scope on it...

Encore barrels in BLK??
Anyone know a place that has threaded 16 inch Encore barrels in stock in 300blk? Looked at Sportsmans Guide and they are sold out of the Bergara(sp). Didn't want to go MGM as they, even though really good barrels, are a good bit higher priced.

Re: inexpensive quality brass???
Get in touch with Grumpa. I bought annealed converted brass from him. Very pleased with his service and brass.

IMR 4227 subs with carbine gas??
Anyone have any luck with IMR 4227 and subs out of a 16 inch carbine gassed AR? I'd appreciate any info. Thanks. I did try the search, but came up goose eggs...
