Jgun Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Are you asking about the bullets specifically? Did you load them the in the 300BLK cases yourself? If not, are they marked as 5.56? Any chance that the bullets are moly coated ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imschur Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Well the bullets look like Hornady BTHP Moly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Well the bullets look like Hornady BTHP Moly.Yep, exactly. And that's some new-production Lake City, too. I think you scored, Rob, big time. Do you have a bullet puller? Pull one of the projos and post the pic. That'll tell for sure. I think you nailed some good stuff. If you do pull one, don't spill the powder - weigh the powder charge and see what's up. Sometimes the weight of the charge, when you know the rest of the components, will tell you what powder it is. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dane Armory Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Pull the projo , weigh the powder for us ! Hornady or Sierra 168gr BTHP moly coated are $40 + a box per 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
