Ammo. What do you buy what do you reload?

I cast and reload for the 300blk AR. I'm no expert when it comes to reloading the 300 blk as it seems lightweight bullets don't like semi-auto. I'm looking for my 300 blk to take on another roll of kind of truck gun. I was wanting to hear people's opinions about factory ammo would you buy the nice 1...

Re: Cheaper alternative to gorilla for defensive 300 ammo

I run Federal ammo in my handguns, shotguns, and rifles. I've found it to be higher quality than many other brands. Now I use a DSM4 PDW 300 for cabin defense. I've went with 125 grain bc it seems to do what a rifle should. Have it for home invasion defense and maybe black bear defense. I run Winch...

So looking for advice for barrel length. 300 blk

I was thinking of converting my AR 300 blk pistol to something longer than the 10.5-inch barrel that is on it. I'm wanting to use this as my Truck gun or my SHTF to get me a home rifle. Is the barrel long enough for the 10.5-inch barrel or should I go longer? 16" is great but I also want to kee...

Re: Who makes a good light 300 blk boolite for semi -auto?

I haven't tried them yet, but I bought this mould last year. I think they'll work. I'm expecting maybe 1800 fps from them. I have it's larger brother (225 gr) and it works fine for subsonic loads. https://noebulletmolds.com/site/shop/308-311/htc310-135-rn-by3/htc310-135-rn-by3-5-cavity-gc/ You will...

Who makes a good light 300 blk boolite for semi -auto?

I have bought two 300 blk molds and found that both of them are two short to chamber in my 300 blk. I don't have any problems with factory bought bullets 115 gr to 125 gr.

What I'd like to find is the lightest 300 blk mold that will work with my AR style weapon. Any advice?

Re: Looking for advice and help on a Mold!

Also tried some of my MP HP rounds on a few water jugs and I will say I was impressed with the damage it did where the solid did what solids do the HP even in lead shredded the water jugs. Like to see it in some gel but I feel if it hit something on two legs traveling 2,192 FPS it's going to do some...

Re: Looking for advice and help on a Mold!

I use a 31-142D PC & GC for 2k fps in my BO carbine. Feeds fine but you have to watch seating depth to avoid jamming the lands in an AR. About 20 rnds in an inch @ 50 yds. Actually it works fine with 2 coats of BLL if you don't PC. WDWW alloy with some Cu added. Pushed a PB 31-142C to 2k fps Hi...

Looking for advice and help on a Mold!

So I have bought and have had a few .308 molds and I bought an MP-311 410HP but found that it did not work when I used it in my AR I have used AR-15 magazines and AR-300blk magazine. So I'm thinking it's the length of the bullet. The MP mold worked if I made sure the OAL was 2.00 or more but it look...
