About to start Ballistic Gel Testing


Recommended Posts

I'm seriously over building ARs.  Not joking.  I don't know what else I can build. 

Then, I don't have an 8.6BLK.  Fuq that 338 ARC thing, not interested.  That's just a fatass 300BLK.  If I need something that does that, I'll shoot it with the .338 Fed gun, that shoots like a softy. 

But, I do not have an 8.6 BLK...   FML.

I'm completely tired of people giving me once-fired 6.5 Creed brass anyway, when I don't own one.  Might as well turn that shiit into some 8.6 BLK...

You know what?  Just hit me, right now. 

8.6 BLK is based on the 6.5 Creed case.  .338 Fed is a necked-up .308 Win case.  Already got one, running 225gr Hornady SST projectiles.

Instead of fucking around with 8.6 BLK, I'm gonna play with different projectiles in the .338 Fed, and see what I can come up with, and gel test that crazy shiit.  I mean, why should I even piss around with a smaller case anyway, build a new gun - when I've got something here with more case capacity in the first place...   Let's play...  :thumbup:

Fuk me - just thought about this one.  I already have a 9.1 BLK, in an AR.  Yeah, the big fuqr.

That's the .358 Winchester AR, and it's already shooting 250s.  Let's play more, and try to make some subs for both those fuqrs.   With some super-heavy shiit.  :thumbup:

@98Z5V I challenge thee to build a .50BLK. ... :box1: :thumbup: ROTFLMAO

500 Blackout is alive, and runs.  We have the gun down here in AZ, with 2 barrels.  Load development has been going on for years.  We need a chamber redesign to go further.  It shoot 911 grain projectiles, subsonic, past 1k yards. 

This post is not a joke...   :hail:

Anybody that knows about loading heavy-for-caliber cartridges, intended to be subsonic, knows that the .30 Carbine is king.

If a powder works for .30 Carbine, then it works for .300 BLK.  If it works for .300 BLK, it works for all this other weird shiit.  Rule of thumb.

Accurate 1680, H110, IMR 4227, IMR 3031, Win 296, N110, all that.  If it ever worked in heavy (110gr) .30 Carbine, it's been used in .300 BLK.  And heavy 45-70.  My 45-70 powder for 405gr silver cast lead projos is 50.0 grains of IMR 3031. 

Fuk yeah, let's get this rollin' already...   I'm on FIRE right now...   :banana:
