Its all that good road kill venison they have been dining on.

The 458 Socom forum has a section devoted to the 375. If I remember correctly one of the posts there had said they had 15-20 reloads on some cases.

Wow! Only 5 hours from original post to invocation of the "Rule". Even if it was a sly one I'll take it as intended. But HA Ha ha <--evil laugh.... This was all a trap. A nefarious scheme to test the rule invokers. You passed. Here it is. Found it on armslist on Saturday. The guy lives about 3 hours away so yesterday I did the road trip. All upper parts straight from Tromix. 18" Stainless barrel and brake Ace skeletonized stock. Midwest Industries handgaurd. Vortex Crossfire 3-9X50 scope. Nikon scope mount. Ergo grip. Tromix 3 die set with Lee crimp die. 15 loaded rounds. About 30 once fired cases (all that has ever been through the rifle). About 120 unfired brand new 375 SOCOM cases. 1 Lancer Mag. I couldn't resist. I already have the powder to use to load up the cases and bought the primers needed yesterday. The challenge is bullets. Maker and Vollmer bullets already have hunting capable bullets available but they're pricey for blasting. Sierra 200gr flat points are the accurate target bullets of choice but right now they are out of stock about everywhere. Oh well, the search will continue.

An emptier wallet if you don't reload. Thats why I do.
-
Anyone have any experience with one and if so how did it go?
-
But do we pick beavers, turtles, hookers, or grandmas? Or hookers with large beavers who are grandmas?

Ohhhhhh, so you have been to the Boom Bay Bar!

If you are buying a stripped lower its neither one. At least here in WI its an other. A typical rifle lower will have what most people recognize as a stock, either adjustable, or fixed. A pistol will typically have what is termed a pistol brace instead of a stock. In picture above. Top is SBR with stock. 12 1/2" barrel with flash can. Bottom is pistol with SBA3 pistol brace. 8" barrel with 10" suppressor. In this picture the pistol is actually longer than the rifle.

If a lower begins its life as a pistol it can later be turned into a rifle and back to a pistol. If a lower begins life as a rifle it is always a rifle no matter the length of the upper on it. Legal rifle if over 16" or possibly illegal SBR if under. If a pistol lower has a longer than 16" upper on it it is simply a long barrel pistol. Not very pistol like in that form but still a pistol. As far as I understand the messed up Federal gun laws, and I have both a pistol lower and a SBR lower and a suppressor to add to the mix I can put together. Yes you are correct as I understand your question.

Sometime I should take the 10" suppressor of my 8" barrelled 300BLK and post up a picture of it with the flash/blast can on it. Without the suppressor its one short little mo fo.

LOL, yeah. I wrote KAK, not C O C K
-
I'm hurt you didn't send a pants down hug! Be glad you're down there in AZ. Its snowing up here and they are saying we could get 12-16"
-
10 1/2" barrel on that Blackout blaster with a 12" handguard over it. There is about 2" of flash can under the handguard

What do you have on order or in the mail? Part 2

American Reloading 25% off projectiles easter sale. 500 220 grain SMK HPBT bullets coming my way for use in 300 BLK subs. -
I'll add extra tape going around the box next time (I KNOW there will be a next time!) to help make it frenzy proof.
-
KAK flash can does the same thing, although I've run them on short barrel Blackouts.

@98Z5V I'm glad your happy with it! It's weird seeing pictures of those bags from your end. Normally they go into a box and are just gone! I try to stuff and pad the boxes so nothing shifts around. Apparently the shipping apes at UPS still found a way to abuse the box enough to get it to split. Maybe it was because I used a USPS box.
-
Yup! Almost 1100 LC primed cases plus odds and ends of other calibers he is wanting.
-
Your Welcome! Glad you like them.
-
His mass quantity of LC that is coming is already nice and shiny. He has time to save up for the mixer.

You hafta wait!! The big brown truck can only drive so fast.

Glad everything survived the trip. I try to pack stuff as if gorillas are going to handle it during the trip. How far are you from La Grange KY? I lived there for almost 3 years back in a previous life.
