check state regs about hunting with an sbr to see if they mean an illegal sbr or can you hunt with a legally registered sbr.save letter.

I'm going to experiment with the Lee 230 grain mold and cast some from pure lead. Hopefully that long bullet will expand, fragment or at least bend on contact with tissue.

I'm trying to work up a group buy for a NOE hollow point mold for the 300 Blackout but we haven't reached critical mass just yet. A 230 grain pure lead HP at 1050 fps should be effective on deer sized game.

they have some discussion over on castboolits about that mold. seems accuracy is pretty hit or miss, and some of the guys are drilling out the bevel base their molds to get better accuracy. seems to help.

I've been playing with this caliber some myself, and have my doubts about hunting larger game with it, no matter what the bullet configuration. It's a fun caliber to play around with but I think we are trying to turn it into something it will never attain.
With a 230 Gr. lead bullet at 1050 you might be hoping for it to open up to .45 ACP dia. or you could just shoot your 1911 and probably get the same results. Not much shock value to it either way for killing deer, hogs, etc.
