I'm building my first AR and consequently delving into reloading for rifle. I'm building a 300 Blackout gun and will be rolling my own brass. The gun will be used for supersonic loads as in New Jersey where I live we are not allowed to own supressors for any reason.
I recently came across a couple of pounds of H110 and grabbed it as this is one of the more prominent powders with the 300. I am looking for some plinking loads and some (hopefully) hunting loads.
My questions are:
1) Can I use 30-30 bullets in the 300? The bullet diameter is the same but I believe the bullet itself is different. I like some of the soft points for hunting and would like to use them in my rifle, but if they won't work they won't work.
2) For plinking, I've heard that pulled 147gn bullets are great. Is this true? Anyone have a pet load for them?
I think that's it for the moment. I'm sure I'll be back with more as time moves on.
