    Let's talk 40gr & lighter loads in 223

    Indeed. It is a pretty accurate barrel, even with inexpensive Hornady 55gr soft points.

    Let's talk 40gr & lighter loads in 223

    My BCM SAM-R barrel loves the 40gr Nosler ballistic tip over 28.0gr of Benchmark at 2.260" OAL in Nammo Tactical brass with a Federal AR Match primer; 3,594 FPS average and it was putting every bullet through a 1" Birchwood Casey target sticker. (EDIT: typo, corrected powder charge to 28.0)

    Gun powder. It's a beautiful sight to see.

    Get out of my garage.

    Reloading 7.62x39 for an AK

    Yessir. At 50 yards there were zero keyholes and they were going where I was aiming.

    Reloading 7.62x39 for an AK

    Accurate 1680 or Shooter's World Blackout are what I use. I have a load for 1680 and a 220gr Berry's that cycles my AK suppressed and is stable and quiet.

    Advice from a professional. -Lube your pistol cases.

    I run many presses, but my Dillon RL1100 with Ammobot Rev3 auto drive makes a straining sound when CBC cases are being sized or crimped. I add a couple of sprays of lanolin alcohol mix to the brass and that completely goes away. It just has to be better for equipment longevity.

    150 gr Winchester sp power point in 300 blk

    My 9" Ballistic Advantage 300BLK barrel is very accurate, and it will take longer loaded ammo. My PSA JAKL and Ruger American Ranch in 300BLK are picky about how long I can load ammo for them.

    150 gr Winchester sp power point in 300 blk

    That's part of what got me into 300BLK. I had a bunch of free Hornady 150gr soft points that my .308's weren't very fond of.

    BE-86

    One of my favorite powders for hotter loads in 9mm and 10mm, and it works well in 45 Colt.

    Vibrating Primer Tube fFllers?

    I could not get my Vibra Prime to work with large pistol primers, they would hang up and never drop into the tube, so I ordered a DAA Primafill and it works much better.

    WTK: Lee 10mm Bulge buster Die

    I've had the standard Lee sizing die remove an impressive amount of case bulge. I haven't needed anything else yet.

    Found a new 9mm carbine bullet - the Match Winner.

    The 124gr Match Winner is sub-1" at 25 yards out of my girlfriend's FM 16" 9mm upper. Great bullets.

    BE-86 9mm 147gr Load Data?

    BE-86 is one of my favorite powders, but you will have to reduce their listed charge for a 147 if you want subsonic. Every round that I loaded with 5.1gr was supersonic out of my 8" PCC.

    Vihtavouri N350 - What Say You?

    I run a lot of it. It is very low flash and works great in self defense loads. In 9mm I load 5.1gr under a 147gr HST, which is slightly +P and get 1050fps from a typical handgun barrel length. Superbly accurate. Smells awesome when burned.
