    I was hoping my stamp for my can would be here by hunting season, but you know how the government is.

    Congrats!

    I shot a doe last week with the new Speer 150gn Gold Dot that is made for the blackout. Range was 53 yards and it was DRT. Need to shoot another with that loading.

    Sticking with some 168gr Noslers I cooked up. They hit a little harder than 7.62x39

    What's the FPS?
    Consistent 1980’s out of my Ruger American but have broken the 2000fps mark using a different load. A CCI #41 primer touching off 18gr of Lil’ gun got me 2010-2030 last year. I opened up the primer holes a good bit and gave them all a generous crimp.
    I prefer the heavier pills for accuracy. I’m sure not all 300 AAC/BLK barrels are created equal, but the ones with the faster twist seem to like the heavier bullets, regardless if they’re subsonic or supersonic.
    Getting over 2100 with a 147gr soft tip but not as accurate.
    If the case was just a few cubic millimeters bigger...

    The box of Remington I am shooting states they are 2100 fps. Sounds like you have found a good load.

    Lot of trial and error and site searching. Like I said, the challenge is the case size, or lack there of. The pressures aren’t exactly a worry with that case. Just pack that joker full, lol

    If your loading a big bullet there is little room left for powder.
