How slow before I stick a bullet in my barrel?

Hoping someone can give guidance regarding the slowest velocity I should use as my minimum when loading 195gr ELD-M bullets in my 300 BO. I typically load these supersonic, but want to experiment some. I am concerned that a long bearing-surface jacketed bullet will stick in the barrel if I load at l...

Thanks for the insight!
I figured I would change to a different powder, but didn’t know about the Starline brass capacity issue, nor the Hornady VLD Seating stem. Your info is very helpful.

A1680 + Hornady 195gr ELD-Match deformation

I just recently started loading for the Blackout. My first subsonic loads used H110 and the Hornady ELD-Match bullet. These were chronographed at 1025fps. Perfect function and good groups. I then tried loading 50 of these bullets using 17.3gr of AA-1680 to obtain a Supersonic load. This load is a co...

Anyone make BUIS for .300AAC with 16” barrel

I shoot 195 -240 grain subsonic handloads in my 16 inch Blackout. The BUIS will need to be regulated for the different trajectory than seen is using a supersonic round. I cannot lower my front sight post further, and the rear sight has no elevation capability.
Thanks!
