Re: Is it possible to load 147 grain subsonic?

Both Unique and Trail boss will work with 150 gr bullets. Trailboss may have a more uniform less load change sensitivity (better for volumetric loading), Unique = quiet and will work well too. I use American Select with 152 gr ball and it's my favorite plinking jacketed sub I have loaded many hundre...

Re: sbr question

you need to be able to return it to the ORIGINAL form 1 condition... so it the upper is a .223 10" upper and you have a 10" 300 BLK upper.. keep the original Form 1 upper with you so you can return it to the registered condition... or so I was told. Only exception is if you return it to a ...

Re: Question on shooting subs and supers

I like to fiddle and play with different weight subs. The AR is NOT the platform for that. To favor the mid weight bullets a pistol length gas system, and adjustable gas port is the best.. but I just shoot these fun loads with my Bolt or Handi single shot. My Carbine length fixed gas port PSA upper ...

Re: missouri 245 gr

Make sure it's stable in your rifle. I woudl not shoot it under 950 FPS in a 1:8 twist. Also In MY PSA upper it will not feed reliably. Note.. Lots of lead build up in my BCG, my gun fouls and starts to not feed after a mag. Lead vapor condenses in your gas system. Just shoot 30 and take your bolt o...

Re: Hodgdon Lil'Gun Load Data Only ***5 Best Loads Page 16*

I have found the CCI 400 to be a hotter than the Rem 7.5. Loads that are safe with a Rem 7.5 in my guns are to hot with the CCI 400. Just MY experience. I thought the cup was just thinner in the CCI but then when I measuring the brass web the pressure was higher in the CCI primed loads. Could be the...

Re: 90 grain XTP trial for Handi

I tried a LOT of powders the ONLY powder that would work was TrailBoss. The others may work kinda.. but the loads are to sensitive. insane ES. With Trail boss you get a huge improvement. Keep looking for Trail Boss. Is worth the wait.

One of my favorite loads!

Re: A1680 208 A-Max Subsonic load 11.3" SBR

10.8 gr A1680 is what I use in my 16" AR upper. Like all 1680 AR loads wide ES, but functions well with and w/o a silencer. At times I like it better than the 220 SMK load. Granted I use Win converted brass with the 208 and Rem AAC Blackout brass with the 220 SMK, that may have something to do ...
