Per Lee, their 300 Blackout sizing die is not meant for forming Blackout brass. FWIW, I use an old set of Redding dies. To form Blackout brass I have to have the die screwed down a half turn more than when simply full length resizing.

I'll take them both. PM sent.

Thanks

I took a rotary mag and measured inside. The one I measured was about 2.29" inside. I am speculating that being made of plastic, each mag might differ a little. Since I use some of the same loads in different rifles, I load my Blackout OAL to 2.26 or less, depending upon the bullet. Loading to ...

Some of my Blackouts have adjustable gas blocks. On one of them I instantly knew it was over gassed the first shot. The recoil was noticeably sharper and the empty flew about 3 times as far as normal. I had forgotten to readjust the gas block when I went from a mild load (108gr bullet at 1700fps) to...

Might have to seat bullet a little deeper so it does not jam in the throat of the bore is not worn much.

I've had the Takedown for around a year in 5.56. It took me a lot of experimenting until I found a handload that would do 1.5" at 100yd (everything else was around 3" or worse). I thought that one day I'd get the Blackout conversion kit. Easy to get, after all, multiple places on the Inter...
