finally found ONE pound of 4227, and the holy grail, 2 pounds of Titegroup! Finally can get some more 9mm loaded. And at least I can do some test loads with the 4227 and be ready with working loads in case I find more - done that with 4198, LilGun, Reoader7 and a couple of others. I have WAY more loads tested than I actually have powder for anymore. But I'll be ready for when powderis on the shelves daily again (if ever?)

like just today, dropped the wife at work and decided to hit a few stores.... 4# of 1680 and 2# of 5744 are now home with me. Would like to try 4227 but not seen any since I started reloading last year.

oh yeah... load 'em by the bushel! I bought one of the 2100 bulk packs :banana: My 300BLK is my new favorite pewpew machine. Altho I do admit I load and shoot way more subsonic loads. Something about shooting suppressed that tickles my fun bone more than anything

funny how different areas have different supplies. I have YET to see a pound of 4227, but I see a1680 and H110.

It's SUPER easy to make your own brass, if anyone wants to. 223 brass can be had on the cheap (or picked up at your range) and with a small saw and jig, it's fast. I followed a thread on 300blktalk and go the Harbor Freight saw, one of the jigs a guy was selling, and I've never bought a 300blk case yet. All it takes is your time. And seriously, if anyone wants to try the 203g projectiles, I have just short of 1500 of them (buddy talked me into a big batch, then when I started having issues he bailed!). If you pay the shipping, I'll send you 25 or so to test. If they work for you, then I'll make a deal on the rest. I use H110 for my supers, and A1680 for my subs. I know guys are using H110 for both, but there are warnings about loading H110 that low or so they say. I also found A5744 to be good for subs, and LilGun good for supers.

sorry guys, been away for awhile. Regarding BlackoutBrass, seach the 300blktalk forums - not everyone thinks very highly of them. Seems they had some startup issues and some claim they never got their orders or refund. Plus BBB in their area has a bad rating on them. That said, I took a chance on the bullets as I was looking for a cheap alternative for sub plinking. I had no problems with the order, got everything, even got a phone call from the guy. They were uniform in size and weight, at least within a few grains - I think they ranged from 201 to 204? And the diameter was very consistent @ .309. And then the fun began. They have to be loaded SHORT (2.008) and I know a lot of people were having issues, me included. I about gave up, then thought I had found why I was having issues ( could not get loads to go into batery with 100% reliabilty) and just last week I loaded 3 mags full and on shot #3 I had the same issue. And in the threads on 300blktlk the guy has a bad attitude - 'I'm just tired of spending my time trying to help people get up and running who have CRAP CMMG barrels with their CRAP not to spec chambers' - and for the record, I never said I had a CMMG barrel, which I don't. Between my issues with them going into battery, his attitude and everything I've been thru with these, I'm done with them. I have been getting the Nosler 190g CC 2nds for $.17 a bullet so that's cheap enough for me.. If anyone wants to try the 203g Palmetto Bullets (sold thru BlackOutBrass) I have a deal for you.

well, not even a 'job well done'. Cute chick won, followed by the gas mask family. Oh well... maybe next year? Thanks anyways all

Thanks... I see the voting is done. Now I wait to find out if pestering everyone was worth it! I'll probably get a patch, if anything! A new muzzle device would rock tho...

huh.... the direct link works for me, every 24hrs. Not like it matters... pretty sure i'll be top 10, but only top 2 get anything per rules. I'm going off a post I made on their facebook page that hinted at other prizes for us 'lesser folk' Thanks all... it ends tomorrow! I'll quit bugging y'all.

Man, I'm a moron. Never thought to right click on the VOTE icon and copy the link location... Direct Link to vote for my entry! :facepalm: And don't forget to vote for real... LOTS at stake

don't forget to vote!! And for the real election too... <thumbsup>

HAHA! Love the enthusiasm... but there are 1200+ votes to make up. That's a lot of people hitting a lot of anon proxy servers! C:-) Honestly, just happy to have made the final cut. If they run this contest again, I will be prepared! (see what I did there?)

you guys are AWESOME! Just wish I had a snowballs chance in hell of winning. 3 free suppressors would seriously kick arse... all I can do now if try to be the best of the worse!

New voting day!! Vote for my crappy pic so it's not so crappy! :banana: :P :unsure:

can't survive the apocalypse with crappy cigars, now can we? <thumbsup> And another day to vote! No way I'll get top prize, but there may be consolation prizes...
