Re: IWI abandoning 300BLK?!

I called IWI today and they are saying it will be out full force first quarter 2017. If we can still own firearms then. I know this thread is over 5 yrs old, but I can't resist putting my oar into the water. Please look at my avatar picture. This is my new IWI X95 Tavor in 300 Blk. Have had it abou...

Re: 300 blk primer pocket swage

I have reamed (cut out) every primer pocket crimp from every piece of .223 brass I've ever used to make BLK. No problem what so ever with removing too much brass.

gn vs gr

Last I heard, gn is the abbreviation for grains, and gr is for grams. And yet, I see folks all the time referring to a 220(or whatever) grain bullet as 220gr, which would make the weight almost 1/2 lb! Same sort of thing with powder. 7000gn/lb, and 454gr/lb. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

H110 subsonic load for X95 Tavor

Just purchased an IWI X95 Tavor in 300 BLK. This gun has a 16.5" 1/8 twist barrel, gas piston operated, and has an adjustment for suppressed/unsuppressed. I also have a SilencerCo Hybrid suppressor. I haven't had a chance to fire the Tavor yet, as I am just getting over some surgery. I have rec...
