    Some 300BLK Questions

    MBC 245's are a hoot loaded as1300 fps supers. Kinda like chunckin' bricks downrange... No cycle issues from either carbine or 10.5" pistol. Nick

    Some 300BLK Questions

    H110 is my primary 300BLK powder & have used it successfully in loads for bullets from 110 grains to 245 grain (cast lead) as supersonic loads. The 30-30 "leverevolution" bullets feed pretty well (ignore the cannelure when seating). The 30-30 version have a chance to expand properly at 100...

    Pro Chrony Digital

    You can use the display & controls on the front or you can use the optional cable & usb adapter to connect to a pc running their software. With the cable you can either control the unit directly in real time or download a range session after you get home. It works well either way. Nice large...

    Winning a Firearm

    Won a Weatherby 270 in a VFD raffle a year or so back. Took the cash equivilant instead and used it to put together a 300BLK AR & related reloading tools... Nick

    Best full size 1911 concealed carry holster?

    I like the Comp-Tac Minotaur for everyday IWB carry. For rough country, camping, field work, etc. the wilderness tactical Safepacker doesn't look like a holster (more like a toolkit) & provides good protection for the piece as well as concealment. Nick

    Sub 300 BLK recs

    H110 / W296 is a good choice for supers but probably not so good for subs. It has a fairly narrow window of function for a given round. Back down a load a bit too much & you can end up with a squib. Short of a squib you'll see non linear changes in velocity for small changes in charge. It works...

    Do You Have an Expendable Gun?

    I chose a lower dollar, but reliable, piece for CCW not because of possible confiscation but so as to not be reluctant to carry when in circumstances that are hard on a firearm. I carry pretty much 24/7, usually IWB, and when working outside in the summer I sweat like a hog. Bush hogging &...

    Still Cheaper?

    Availability is a big deal for me with my more recent caliber obsession. You can't seem find 300BLK anywhere these days except that marked up to $1.00 or more per round. Even using quality components acquired pre-panic, my hand loads are typically $0.50 or less. With pulls/blems & homebrew...

    is the 300blk passing fad or permanent trend??

    It really shines as an AR SBR or pistol. The efficient powder use helps keep velocities up in the usable territory without the flash & pressure wave associated with 5.56 rounds from the same length. That plus the easily formed brass will keep it around a long time, even if suppressors are not...

    Anyone know how hot ejected cases are?

    Nylon net works fine on brass catchers that get directly attached on my 5.56 & 300BLK. It is about the same weight as found in laundry bags. Nick

    Utility of a flash hider?

    All my AR pattern guns (5.56 & 300BLK long guns, 300BLK pistol) have linear comps rather than flash hiders as the muzzle device, which project sound/pressure wave downrange. They make a very noticeable difference when shooting from a covered location such as at my outdoor range (especially for...

    Anti universal background check Oklahoma Senator sounding stupid

    Loaning a firearm to a friend/relative for an hour/afternoon/weekend should not involve getting big brother's permission or having to pay for the "privilege" of doing so with my own property... My state's current statutes against providing a firearm to a known disqualified person are...

    Hornady 30 cal 160 grain FTX question

    There are two versions of the 160 grain FTX. One for the 30-30 and one for the .308 Marlin Express & the cannelure is different for each. The cannelure on the .308 ME is farther back than the 30-30 one. The difference between the two could create possible pressure issues if you are loading...

    President making a naked appeal to emotion to support gun control

    It bugs me that they are flown up on the taxpayer's dime for the express purpose of manipulating the votes of elected representatives - and for most of which they are not constituents! Heck the executive branch of the government is supposedly barred from using appropriated funds for lobbying...

    45acp 230gr ball

    Missouri Bullet Co. "softball" 230 grain LRN Brinell 18. $46/500. It might take 4 weeks to arrive, depends on where they are in their production cycle. I got some a few weeks back. Bullseye is my standard .45 ACP load, usually 4.7 grains for the LRN which results in an AV of 840 fps from...

    Blackout load trouble

    There have been instances of 300blk dies with issues due to not setting the shoulder back far enough or sizing oversize just below the shoulder. The best way to know if you are properly forming brass is to use gauges. The LE Wilson case length headspace gauge to check cartridge length and...

    AR Extraction Issue

    Check the gas key on the bolt carrier, look for loose or leaky fit, also check for a possible foreign material blockage in the key itself. Also, with the bolt removed from the carrier, insert the carrier in the upper & observe how the key & gas tube mate. Make sure nothing is bent or...

    Stupid question of the day: .223 rims won't enter case gauge?

    For rim & base size issues w/.223 or formed 300blk I have had some success with the Lee "bulge buster" kit and the external portion of the Lee 380 acp FCD (the part with the carbide sizing ring). It could probably used with resize kit. It is not a perfect fix but it does help with quite a few. Nick
