266 grain cast bullet, the Dolomite special

[GunFunZS]

Thanks. I have done so.

265 DS Special brakes sub-moa during brass constancy test. Only shooting two rounds to check accuracy and didn't expect this from the first trip out. feeding was smooth LRBHO every time, not bad for a lightweight AR with a 4x optic. Lake City and Fed Commercial converted brass next trip will be Rem and WMA.


100 yards subsonic

That's some good shooting bob.
Funny how some say the 300blk isn't accurate.
With good brass preparation and weight sorting,etc. it shoots plenty accurate.
The sub-sonic cast bullet can be shot virtually free by shooting into a crumb rubber bullet box and recasting.
I can't think of anything that can shoot such a broad weight of bullets so we'll.

This is a fascinating thread, and I will return to read all 20 pages when time allows. Hope there is more to come.

My sweet wooden crate of 100 came in last night. Will see about preppong some brass tonight but I have a weekend getaway coming up I still haven't even begun to pack for...so that takes precedence.

I like that they're noticeably shorter than 208 ELD, as that indicates they may stabilize out of my 6" straight pull pistol.

If you need any help let me know.

I was browsing on Graf & Sons and found this little gem

"The DS Special is a heavy bullet and can therefore be loaded with less gun powder"

Please tell me "DS" is our very own @Dolomite_Supafly and not a knock off!!!

If so, we are in the presence of greatness, ** bows with respect**

Seriously, DS, thanks for all your persivierence, you keep breaking barriers and that is inspiring...

TTF

That is mine. ACME makes them then distributes them to the various vendors online.

Very nice!

I still use your trigger staging kit from way back in the day.

This really is a great group here.

Thanks boss. They look and load fantastic.

Sadly with CFE BLK (11.6, 11.8, 12.0) all three powder weights were within 3fps of 950 for an average (5 rounds of each).....and printing 3-4" at 50 yards. This is out of my 10.5" SBR, unsuppressed (until I verified they'd stabilize which they do just fine). Same rig was doing right at MOA with 110 blue tips and shoots about 1.2-1.3 with 208 BTHP/ELD subs, and sub MOA with 125 supers.

I've never had luck with CFE if i'm honest, but was willing to give it a try since it was held in high regard with these, so I guess I'll try 4198 which works really well with my 208 load.
