Re: Not cycling with subs

Ok, I know this is a bit of an old thread, but I just had some experience with this problem. My 8.25" SBR would NOT run subs at all. Acted like it was undergassed. 190gr sub-x and 220gr hpbt, would shoot, be accurate, eject properly, but not load the next round. With a single round, in the mag,...

Re: 220 gr subsonic from an 8.25" SBR........

Ok, did some further testing. 13.0, 13.2, and 13.4 grains of CFEBLK 11.0, 11.2, 11.4 grains of H119. 8.5" sbr through a specwar 30 suppressor with a Gemtech adjustable bcg. The bullet was a Berry's 220 grain spire point. 5 shot groups. The CFEBLK loads got me to 1022 to 1140 fps with 1 inch gr...

220 gr subsonic from an 8.25" SBR........

I was loading some 220 gr subsonic loads for my 330blk. I was using 11.7gr, 11.9gr, and 12.1gr of CFEBLK and 9.7gr, 9.8gr, and 9.9gr of H110. I wanted to run at about 1050fps. Out of my 16" ar, I was getting from 1125 to 1175 as my averages for the CFEBLK loads and around 110 to 1150 on the H11...

Re: Difference velocity first shot

I will throw this out for consideration only, as, I'm just "guessing".

Re: Forster 300 AAC Seating Die has arrived

I am using Forster micro seating dies for all my rifle cartridges, 223/556, 6.5 grendel, 300blk, 308, 8x57, except for my 6.5 creedmoor.
For that I am using a Widden micrometer seating die.
They all work really great.

X-treme cases.....

Does anyone know, or have any experience with 300blk cases with "x-treme" headstamp? I had some and was checking them and found that the cases weighed in at 107 to 109 grains. My Barnes and Hornady cases weigh in at 84 to 86 grains. Also, I tried seating some Barnes110gr Tac-Tx bullets ove...

Ok, so, I have been playing with this bullet for a while now, and am just starting to get it figured out. However, it has raised a few questions. I am shooting RAR 16" rifle and getting excellant groups, 1 moa or better @100 yds, with, 20.0, 21.0, and 23.0 gns of CFE BLK. My only "issue&q...

Re: Subsonic 300 Blackout Suppressors

If you want quiet, go with a Silencerco Omega or Saker asr.
Subsonic 300blk, suppressed, will be in the low, very low, 120 db range.
