dpete Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 Ok this is a 300 BLK bullet, not a 375 Socom, but its a Maker. Shows some real world results that those relief cuts create. 200 gr subsonic running 970-980fps at the chrono about 8ft from the muzzle. Hit the deer between the brisket and right shoulder. Messed up heart and maybe a lung and lodged in the stomach. Deer went 40 yards and piled up. One thing I have seen with all three deer I've taken with this bullet is no bloodtrail. This shot was head on into the chest and the other two were broadside in and outs. HUGE exit wounds but no blood found anywhere but under the deer once it flopped. Two of them were with full snow cover on the ground. You aren't tracking a deer after a sub hit. Your looking for a dead deer. My shots from now on are going into the neck.

Radioactive Posted June 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) I have heard that before about subs in the blk. I’m not going to use this for hunting except hunting bad guys inside my house. i would like to find a gel test vid but have been unsuccessful in that end ever. Maybe I’ll have to do my own. I did see one in a vid that was recovered but not sure from where. It looked very similar to yours. here is a vid of the 375 socom subsonic (3rd) that got me thinking about this and then you enablers lit the fuse.

I don’t have girly man hands but not huge either( large end of med). That thing looks and feels huge in my hand. Haha did I just type that? I got the upper, lower, and handguard blasted and prepped for cerakote. Gonna squirt some paint on em today or tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radioactive Posted June 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Squirted the upper, lower, and handguard green today it’s in the oven now. Looked good to me hanging on the hooks but after cure will be able to look closer. Only done cerakote once before - didn’t like how it turned out. Probably prep issue last time.

Radioactive Posted June 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Well I missed a spot and will have to respray the lower tomorrow. Back of lower where buffer tube screws on. It was at the bottom and I thought I got it but missed. Other than that it looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radioactive Posted June 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 After reading about respray issues I decided to hit the back with sharpie since it is covered by the end anti rotation plate. The handguard turned out real nice and was the thing I was worried the most about due to all the empty space. Will get it assembled today and get a pic or two up when it’s done.

98Z5V Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Right on - nice work. That stuff is easy, once you get the hang of it, and get the spray gun dialed in. I never go over 20psi, and put an adjustable pressure gauge right on the air inlet of the gun. Major adjustment on the regulator on the compressor, and then fine tune the mini regulator/gauge right on the heel of the spray gun. Works wonders.

Radioactive Posted July 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Finally started prepping my brass sized, trimmed, flash hole debured. Tumbling now to clean and remove case lube. While brass dries I’ll get my suppressor and handguard off so I can hang the magnetospeed off the end. If all goes as planned will make sure the loads are subsonic the reassemble the gun and see if it runs. At almost 2 bucks a pop I want to do this in as few rounds as possible.

Radioactive Posted July 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Well she runs pretty well. 1060ish FPS using 10.8 grains 700x pushing that 325 grain maker bullet. Definitely hearing safe with the suppressor. Cycles like it should and locks bolt back on last round. Will see how accurate it is today at home defense distance. All the shooting yesterday was without a front sight and handguard. No chrono today Edited July 6, 2020 by Radioactive Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioactive Posted July 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Rain held off long enough to get out and sight in the 375. I’m not the best peep sight shooter out there by a long shot but moved it left and down I think she’ll do for a house gun. Only took about 5 shots to get it pretty close off a back pack rest at 50 yards. I then hooked up the chrono and ran some off hand. I tend to pull it a little right off hand with the crap milspec trigger. Speeds from 1062 -1098 the hotter it got the higher the speed as I would expect. I’m gonna get me a melon to shoot and vid it.

Radioactive Posted July 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 I’ll be seriously disappointed if it just pokes a hole through it - a big ass hole but still I want destruction! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
