I guess the trainer is the biggest one at fault.
He stood on the left side of the girl instead of to the rear right (where the gun is) of the shooter. When situated correctly, it's easy to reach forward and push the firearm away towards a safe direction.
I wonder if this has anything to do with it:

Yep, lower oven in the dual oven setup. Didn't even bother to clean it.
Took my work home with me, had to hook up my old compressor (it wasn't even wired up or connected to any of the piping) and didn't get started spraying till 8pm.
That's the beauty of the 300 BLK.
Zero in at 100 yards (subs) and you're zeroed at 200 yards for supers (110-130gr), The 1/2 range math works beautiully up to 300 yards or so.
Here's the trajectory table from AAC for a 100/200 yard zero.
Back to the topic on hand:
Here's what I have to cerakote tonight.
52.84mm (2.080") for the 180 gr
53.21mm (2.095") for the 147gr
Heavy definitely on the 18.5 gr with the 147 FMJ's. Still, 300 AAC's have issues with powder selection when you hit the 150gr mark. Choose the wrong powder and it no likey.
Underpowered is how I felt about the 9.5gr in the 180gr.
I think it's the wrong powder too. No chrono though. Not until my bd :D ... then again I'm too lazy for it.
Buddy is hooked on my 220gr subs. Gave him a small handful to play with a coupe weeks ago and today he brings me this crap that doesn't cycle (I've test fired them previously) and wants me to "do these like you do yours". <laughs> <lmao>
[edit]
forgot to add.....the following link is handy/useful for reloaders: http://www.precisionreloading.net/
The smokeless powder database is handy.
Trying to figure out some 300 AAC reloads for a buddy. He got these guys from another of his friends. They shoot but don't cycle properly. I've taken apart and reverse engineered my fair share of bullets and haven't seen anything like this being done on a 300 AAC. Probably explains why those rounds don't shoot for poop.
What I've got so far:
Load #1
- Federal 180gr Trophy Bonded Tip bullet (who even sells these? Never seen them available)
- 5.56 converted case
- 9.5 gr of a super coarse extruded powder. The load was so compressed I had to "dig" it out with a sharp tool.
Load #2
- 147gr FMJ-BT bullet
- 5.56 converted case
- 18.5 gr of the same powder. Again the load was super compressed and had to be dug out.
Here's a pic of that crap. Anyone have any clue what powder the guy's using? IMR4227? Doesn't look like it.... thoughts?
