300BlkTalk

I can't say for sure but seems like I remember that initially the idea behind going with 220gr was that the are heavy enough to cycle in any gun that meets 300 blackout specs. I assume there was a specific set of criteria and that they needed an acceptable margin of error so they are clearly over th...

I am not positive, but I think that an 06 ffl is only needed to sell complete ammo, not componets. FFL 06 is for Ammunition and components as well. You would need one to manufacture for sale, bullets, brass, or primers. I think the question is weather you are manufacturing the brass as you are simp...

I would have liked to start with the heavy bullets, but it is much simpler for me to start with the lighter ones for a few reasons. As much work as this project has been, I am trying to keep it as simple as possible so that I can at least get it off the ground and running. After that it should not b...

Ah ok cool. What benefit, if any, would copper plated yield over coated lead? To be honest, I do not really know much about coating so I can not say for sure. Like anything I assume there are benefits to each. My bullets will be swaged, then plated and then swaged again. Weather that gives them any...

Any idea what kind of price point for the 220's? I would like to sell them for less than $200/K. I don't think that will be a problem, and ultimately could sell them for more like $180/K depending on a few factors. It is simply too difficult for me to say at the moment but once I have the lighter b...

They will be copper plated.

He's referring "subs" to the weight of the bullet, I completely understood what he was saying. Thanks, he already posted as much. Like I said, is a 175g a sub or a super? How about a 187g, 200g or a 220g? They all can be either subsonic or supersonic in 300 Blackout. Using the term "...

I'm currently working on making some plinking bullets in the 150gr range that will sell for around $150/k. Hoping to be testing them within 3 months and possibly selling them shortly after. It is taking forever as there is a lot of equipment involved in making it happen. If those work out I will bu...

I assume you are either a 06 or 07 FFL? And if you don't mind me asking are you making these on a hand press or do you have a hydro press of some sort? Pumping out bullets by the thousand by hand seems like a ton of work.
