300 Blackout Reloading Discussion Thread

[jgreco15]

I haven't shot any but Lehigh offers an expanding subsonic bullet that is said to work well. Hunting or SD with subs isn't my thing but I'm not knocking it. To me, subs are just quiet fun and maybe something to ease a new shooter in with.

Cool.
Not looking for a sub for hunting or SD, just was curious. Thanks

I reloaded a few so far 110 and 130 gr. using H110.
Running a 16" AR and a AAC Handirifle.
I also have a SDN-6.
Looking for some A1680 (Jake if you find any I want 4-5 lbs just buy it)
I am currently cutting LC 5.56 rounds to make my blackout brass.
I hear Donnie (Bayou Bullets) is getting a mold made for some 220-230 bullets.

If this is a high jacking of the thread sorry please delete it mods
I have plans for a 16" carbine "not suppressed"
And have WW296 a pile of 168 A Max bullets so far just looked at the Hornady manual for loads So wonder what has worked best in this weight range?
I am sure Donnies will be coated. But have a plans to use a cast from a copy of the old Lyman 311365. Have a Brass NOE it comes in @ 200 grains that has shot very clean and accurate in 4 different Garands
So will try them in the AR and have to ask...........What have ya'll used in 300BLK Cast so far coated or non coated?

What was your OAL of those black tips? Be curious of your FPS, if you run them over a chrono. While I have some blacktip, I plan on running with a 125SST this fall unless something changes....lol

I have several spent 220 grain SMKs that I've recovered. At 50 yards it makes it through a rail road crosstie and turned into a 4 leafed copper flower with the core laying beside it. (mind you that behind the RR crosstie is a steel rail. I stand my NRA small bore silhouettes on it). At 100 yds- again, it made it through the crosstie and opened up 1/3 of it's tip into a peeled back copper jacket. Never found the core. At 100yds the crossties are backed up by a dirt berm. My chrono'd load for the 220 SMKs is giving me 1,034fps. You can just imagine what it does to a pig.

OAL is the same as the Loaded Commerial Barnes ammo (2.24). I have shot this load over the chrono and here are those numbers:

Barrel length- 16" (Suppressed with AAC SDN-6)
110g Barnes TAC-TX Blacktip
19.3g of W296
2.24 COAL
Chrono(6 shots)- 2326, 2326, 2322, 2322, 2326, 2389 (Avg 2335fps)

Barrel length- 9" (Suppressed with AAC SDN-6)
110g Barnes TAC-TX Blacktip
19.3g of W296
2.24 COAL
Chrono(5 shots)- 2150, 2136, 2126, 2136, 2157 (Avg 2141fps)

 

[Sig220]

Thanks for the info, I have never had a factory blacktip to measure the length and needed a idea on that!!

 

[gmshooter]

Did a little shooting today. Looks like 19.3 of 296 with the 110 gr. blacktips is the winner. I was surprised on how much the silencer changed the point of inpact.

I am thinking of getting a top end for an AR15 in 300 blkout. Anyone know where to get one for a good price?

 

[Jasarii]

Thought I'd share this.
Hornady 125g SST with LiGun...from today near Baton Rouge, LA
Really liking the 18.5g load with SST. No signs of over pressure and primers looked great. My hornady reloading book says that max load is 20.0g of LilGun...So I may test 19.0g next time to see what kind of velocity and accuracy I can get.

125g SST w/18.0 LilGun 2.110 OAL 16" Barrel
2008
2054
2086
2083
2042
Average- 2055 fps

125g SST w/18.5g LilGun 2.110 OAL 16" Barrel
2105
2116
2119
2106
2119

I have been using bullets from Outlaw State Bullets, jacketed lead tipped bullets. They now have some 338 in 280 gr and ship quickly. Bullets are a buck a piece but have had no good results from Serria SMK on large animals.

Just loaded up 150rds of 300BLk tonight. I bought a bunch of the Speer 125g TNT's a while back for cheap and they make for a great all-around load. Loaded these with 17.5g of W296 which is giving me approx 2100fps.
Anybody else reloading this week?

I've been loading only subs so far but I have some of those same 125 TNTs coming. I'll probaby finish loading up all the subs I have then move to the supers.

 

[tallwalker]

I reloaded some of those same Speers, but not near as many as you! My load worked out to 17.6gr W296 with rem 7 1/2 BR primers. Had to cut and form my own brass from LC 5.56 cases so it slowed me down a little (well... a lot). Only got 100 done for an upcoming hog massacre.

 

[Vigilante Sniper]

My son made about 4000 300 blackout brass from .223 cases. He has a jig to cut the necks and then forms them in the die, then trims on the lathe with another jig. He's using H110 also for sub sonic and super sonic. 18.5 with 125gr is the super sonic load at 2.200" Shooting in 9" SBR. I need a barrel to make mine. Looking for a 16" barrel if anyone has one lying around. James, I thought about the handi rifle for my grandson, is yours for the boy's? and how is the recoil with it.
