Re: Sierra 125gr OTM bullets

Thanks! I was wondering if anyone else was using the Lil'Gun powder with good results. I think you are on the right track there. I was thinking that 18gr would be the max for this powder but it would seem that I'm wrong. I will have to load more and up the charges some. Not sure when I will get to t...

Re: Sierra 125gr OTM bullets

BradV, I hope your handloads turn out well and you can post some good results. I don't know when I will get a chance to get out and shoot again. 300Blk, the bullets I ordered all measure about the same overall length. The loaded ammunition is what was not very uniform in over all length. I have foun...

Re: Sierra 125gr OTM bullets

Thanks for the heads-up! I didn't think to look back there in the pistol section.

Re: Sierra 125gr OTM bullets

I was wondering about the accuracy of these bullets. I guess one just has to load them up and see if all is well with the combination. I was looking at the load data at Hodgdon's site and see they have the 130gr bullets being listed with a higher powder charge than the 125gr bullets...a little odd. ...

Re: Sierra 125gr OTM bullets

The Remington Premier Match ammo measures 2.216"-2.242". I figure an over-all-length of 2.230" for my handloads should be good to go unless I need to be concerned with the magazine ribs hitting on the bullet sides. Doesn't seem to concern Remington so I guess it should be alright. Thi...

Re: Sierra 125gr OTM bullets

Thanks Hoser. With the OTM bullet being so long I see no ther way to load it into the brass without pushing it pretty far in. Of course, not near as far as a 220gr bullet for sure. I measured the factory Remington (RM300AAC6) ammunition and the over all lengths were all over the place. Pricey ammo f...

Sierra 125gr OTM bullets

I can't seem to find any loading data for these bullets. Is it just an over-sight on my part or are these bullets not what I want for supersonic 300 BLK? I tried to push them in the case just to the bottom of the neck and the rib in the magazines push way to hard on the bullet IMO. ANY loading data ...
