Ie: powder primer bullet?also looking in the 220 gn bullet range if you can find a cheep source let me know. Maybe 210? I see them but not cheep? Any recomendations or help much apreciated! Still waiting but never stop moving forward Edited October 29, 2015 by sketch
shibiwan Posted October 29, 2015 Report Posted October 29, 2015 The powder of choice is Accurate 1680 with 208-220gr projectiles (HPBT Nosler, Sierras, Hornady A-Max etc). How "cheap" is cheap?My personal load data:AA168010.6 gr with 220gr HPBT, 2.12 COAL11.2 gr with 208gr Hornady, 2.08 COAL

sketch Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Posted October 29, 2015 Im punching paper for shits and giggles cheap?
Malig8r Posted October 29, 2015 Report Posted October 29, 2015 Im punching paper for shits and giggles cheap?I always wondered if you were shooting sub-sonic then are you able to use hard cast lead? Not sure if it would mess up the gas system but if they are really subsonic they shouldn't lead the barrel anyways right? I've never shot anything but FMJ outta my weapons so I really don't know.
sketch Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Posted October 29, 2015 One cheap ass teer above lead! Haha but borderline fun over maitnentce of machine you got me!
392heminut Posted October 30, 2015 Report Posted October 30, 2015 A lot of guys reloading subsonic with cast bullets are powdercoating the bullets. They tumble the bullets in a bucket with the powder then bake them in the oven. Seems to be the way to go with 300 BLK cast bullet loads. A lot of the guys over at www.300blktalk.com do it and there is quite a bit of discussion about it in the reloading section of the board.

You're basically shooting the same velocities as a handgun load so cast bullets aren't a problem at subsonic speeds. Subsonic is roughly less than 1050 FPS. I've shot thousands of 357 and 44 magnum cast bullets loads in the 1200 FPS range with no leading problems. Edited October 30, 2015 by 392heminut

I've shot thousands of 357 and 44 magnum cast bullets loads in the 1200 FPS range with no leading problems.That's kind of what I was thinking and why I mentioned it. If you reload and want to shoot 300 BLK @ subonic speeds then hard cast lead would be the most cost effective option. So there you have it Sketch...the cheapest option to plink or punch paper with.
sketch Posted October 30, 2015 Author Report Posted October 30, 2015 Thank you gentelmen! Hemi if i powder over the hardcast wouldnt that change the diamiter of the projo?If lead really causes little issues where can i find said hard cast lead Projos? Also is the load ratios the same as a fmj projo? Thanks for your paitence still learning this game.
jtallen83 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Posted October 30, 2015 Here are some; https://www.wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=1306&dir=278|281|1083|1132|1671http://www.midwayusa.com/product/2046325106/hunters-supply-hard-cast-bullets-30-caliber-300-aac-blackout-309-diameter-235-grain-lead-boat-tail-spitzer-pointhttp://missouribullet.com/details.php?prodId=182&category=6Plated examples;http://www.xtremebullets.com/308-150-FP-p/xc308-150fp-b0500.htm Loading specs are very different for cast lead bullets, never mix load information between jacketed and lead.
392heminut Posted October 30, 2015 Report Posted October 30, 2015 Sketch, some of the guys over on that board size the bullets after powdercoating but most of them don't.Here's another option if you don't want to cast and or powder coat your own;http://palmettoprojectiles.com/collections/projectiles/products/1000ct-203gr-300-blackout-projectilesThey seem to be well liked over on that forum.
sketch Posted October 30, 2015 Author Report Posted October 30, 2015 Hot digitty Larry thats a good find! Thanks bro!
shibiwan Posted October 30, 2015 Report Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) Oh forgot to mention - the official AA1680 load data is from herehttp://blog.westernpowders.com/WP_LoadSpec_1-23-14.pdfChecked with my distro (prices exclude shipping)SIE2240C Sierra Bullet .30 7.62MM 220gr HPBT Match (500ct) $198.13 SIE2240 Sierra Bullet .30 7.62MM 220gr HPBT Match (50ct 100ct) $42.12 SIE9240T SIERRA BULLET 30 (.308) 210GR (50 ct) $32.30HDY3090 Hornady 30 CAL .308 220 GR RN (100ct) $29.77 (I've not used these but supposedly these pack a punch on impact and will load fine in AR-style rifles)Anyone else intersted? I think I can leverage better prices if I get a big enough order going. Edited October 30, 2015 by shibiwan
sketch Posted October 30, 2015 Author Report Posted October 30, 2015 Wow lot of info bro thank you!Of your recmondations which is your go to?
MikedaddyH Posted October 30, 2015 Report Posted October 30, 2015 Berry and Extreme copper plated bullets always preform well as long as you keep the velocities below 1500 to 1600 fps. No worries about lead fouling your gas tube or barrel either ! Good bang for the buck.
MikedaddyH Posted October 30, 2015 Report Posted October 30, 2015 Check out this site.http://www.300blktalk.com/forum/
shibiwan Posted October 30, 2015 Report Posted October 30, 2015 Wow lot of info bro thank you!Of your recmondations which is your go to?Personally I prefer the standard jacketed bullets. Wait till the Hornady A-Max comes back in stock and I'll see if I can get you a price. They are usually the most cost effective off-the-shelf "conventional" jacketed bullets.
