Re: 190 gr Sub-x subsonic and supersonic loads

There is an advisement in the article linked below about not exceeding 1100 fps with the Hornady Sub-X. It says that limit was recommended by Hornady. I did not follow up on it. Just offering the info. https://www-internationalsportsman-com.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/sub-x-pkg-bullets-1....

SilencerCo

Gentlemen/Ladies, For those of you "on the fence" regarding purchasing an Omega or other suppressor from SilencerCo, I would like to relay my recent experience with their product and warranty policy. A few weeks ago, I managed to launch my Omega about 50 yards down range. Most of that dist...

Omega finish?

I want to finish my upper and lower in the same color as my Omega silencer. While I wait for a response from SilencerCo, I thought I might ask this group if anyone has done this and if the results were satisfactory. Any info appreciated.

Re: What is unsafe in a loaded round case neck diameter with a 220 gr Leatherhead??

FWIW, I am resizing the Leatherhead 220gr to .309 using a Lee Resizing Die. Because they are coated you do not need any lube.
