300BlkTalk

TeryPhish came over (Dave) and we did some re-loading and shooting. It works out well at my house .. He can shoot from his wheelchair out my front door into my backstop 75 yards ways. We loaded up some 210 gr Lead and 152 M2 Ball. Both at 975 fps with W231. Nice loads.. With my Mystic they are VERY...

How did you get 19.5grs of 5744 in a 300blk case, let alone put a bullet on top of it? 20 gr is just under the mouth.. 18 gr is the shoulder This was a VERY old post... FYI. I also said it was an OVER MAX load so should not be replicated. I don't have any notes for this. It was my early testing usi...

you are better off at the high side anyway... I have had brass that was in spec (min) when sorted but when chsmbered and fired the firing pin strike with AR thick primers the brass moved forward and has a light strike. no fire.. then re measured and now was low spec! freaking insane.. i have sorted ...

I had them cycling at 730 fps IIRC At that slow I would be worried about stability ... Did you try it for stability at that FPS? I should measure it and enter it into my stability program. seem close to me in a 1:8 anyway. Add a small air pocket (n additional risk factor with cast bullets)... but c...

30 below zero? Its possible. It gets pretty nippy up here where I am at sometimes. But when its that cold I just sit next to the wood stove and feed it wood.... Just saying at 20 below zero i have lots of problems.. full auto the water in the action from powder gasses freezes quickly. Have to use M...

I have had no problems with the new polymer coated casesthe old lacquer ones were a mess. In the winter they are a bit underpowered... bimetal.. do you shoot 308 ammo in brass cases with copper coated steel bullets? Many say this will not hurt your rifle.. then others say even 100 will harm a custom...

30 below zero?

Case lube?
