Re: New Here + First 300 BLK Build

It may well be better to just keep it as a pistol rather than have to go through BATFE notifications when I want to cross the border. And to your point it works well no matter how you use it. You permission slip for border crossings can cover up to 1 year at a time. Send the form in once a year and...

Re: Problem forming 300 BLK case.

Most people find the Sheridan gauge (pictured above) is far superior at diagnosing problems with brass and loaded ammo. It is a wise investment if you are making your own brass.

Re: New Sig Brass

The 1.363 is just the trim length they used in the test. As long as your brass is between the min and max, and you have enough bullet in the neck you are good to go. With the 110 V-Max your brass will be fine. Use the published minimum and the tested COAL. You can work up slowly, looking for pressur...

Re: Hello. New guy here.

Lots of love for the Leatherhead 220 grain. Fairly accurate and reasonably priced. No can find on the internet. Not on their website either. Their website says they are merging with gallant bullets. I am more than willing to try but I do have some questions. Does the coating rub off or leave any re...

Re: New Guy Here

My thoughts would be 16" barrel means it is NOT an SBR and doesn't require a stamp. Not sure why the 'ar builder' said it was. You have selected a commercial sized stock and a mil spec buffer tube - they should both be either commercial or mil spec. If it were me, I would use a H2 buffer and pe...

Re: 125 gr pill help...

If the projectile was not designed for 300Blk you should normally ignore the cannelure placement, since it was more likely than not designed to be used in a .308 casing. Use the COAL from the load data you are using as your starting point. Rebel and Smus have pointed you in the right direction.

Re: Can't get my brass clean

I am going to throw another one in for wet tumbling. I use a good splash of Rio Grande super sunsheen furnishing compound in the water, it's a jeweler's cleaner, and after an hour to 2 I have mirror shine brass. Then rinse, till in towel and use a dehydrator for a half hour to dry. I plan to try a ...

I second the KAK buffer kit. Comes with all the different weights and 2 different colored stops. Makes tuning you buffer a piece of cake.

Re: Can I Add A Buddy ?

Yes. I am no expert on the legalities but before Trump the previous administration said they were closing a loophole. Now your buddy needs to submit fingerprint cards to ATF to get put on your Trust. Legislation was called "41F". Not true. You can add as many as you want to the trust at a...
