7.92 Kurz

Does anyone think 300blk is a reproduced 7.92 Kurz round in a modern rifle with modern powders?

Re: hog load. what are you using?

I've found that the Barnes 110's, the Speer 110 Hotcor spire, the Hornady 125SST, and even the plain Hornady 110 spire point and the plain Hornady 150 Spire interlock all work extremely well. These days you're lucky just to find bullets in .308. I just saw the SST's on Midway today, in stock, btw. M...

My guess was 5744 at a glance. Likely, as you say, a permutation

Re: New Remington 300 BLK UMC Subsonic ammunition.

I apologize in advance if any of this has already been covered in earlier posts. Was too lazy to read the rest just wanted to share my findings. I am not too pleased with this ammo. I bought a few boxes and the only thing I like about it is the actual projectile. Flat based 220 gr makes for better ...

Re: New Remington 300 BLK UMC Subsonic ammunition.

Has anyone gel tested this bullet yet? I'd like to try them on hogs. I've used the Hornady 110SP and 125SST to good effect on deer and turkey but wanted something quieter to keep the "hog scatter" down.

Re: Power Pro 300 MP Load Data

I've been using this powder and have shred some PM's with Allen and I personally have to corraborate about avoiding any compression of the load. That being said It gives extremely good velocities with the 110-125's I've been loading it with, and also with M80 pulls for plinking. The M80's are shorte...

Re: Powder Coating BULLET JIG

Speaking of spring loading, why not use a couple of sawblades, top and bottom for minimal contact and spring load them, or just a bolt or two to move one up and down in a channel? Or a several predrilled lengths of box section aluminum, closed at the ends and joined side to side with alumiweld to ma...

Re: Tumble powder coating instructions

One thing I've tried today. I drilled 3 small holes in an old medicine bottle and put a few CC of the PBTP powder in it. I then put some bullets and lacquer thinner in a good thick ziplock bag, and then gradually worked the bullets around in the bag, visually noting those with splotchy coverage and ...

Re: Tumble powder coating instructions

I have to agree that the poly PBTP powder is the way to go. They had Mirror Black one sale for about $10 a pound. I've gone from methods of spraying which do waste a lot of powder but give a smooth finish to this tumble method now I have the decent powder. Two super light coats, curing in between, s...
