Found 2 boxes of .224" Barnes 70gr TSX projectiles a few days ago, on the shelf.  Snatched those bastards up quick. I haven't seen those projectiles in over 2 years.

Then decided to add another bench and some more lights to the basement setup.

 

Pics, or it didn't happen. I'm just sayin'...  :banana:

Yes, brother!!!!!   :hethan:

 

That's is DAMN AWESOME!!!

 

I didn't do anything ON the bench today, but I found something to use FOR the bench...  Picked up 4 lbs of RL15.  <thumbsup>

Yeah thats the plan. Take half the basement for mechanical and reloading and the other side will get finished for the wife. I cant get too greedy with the 800sq ft garage being claimed already. haha

^^ thank you for taking it easy on a single press reloder ;) ( two thousand rounds of .40 Calibur Smith and Wesson Tuesday the day before today. ) that shits just ate five minutes of reloading time to respond, one finger stroke at a time ! Hahhahaha :)

Budy is coming over tomorrow to start a .300 blk load :)

Loaded 35 rounds 7.62X39 (1/2 grain increments) for the new AK. Just need a warm day to try them out. It costs more to reload the damn things than buy the ammo LOL. Some time this winter will be spent loading some 7.62X51 for next summer ^-^

Close, but differences...

 

 

My go-to load for this rifle is:

 

Hornady 150gr FMJBT

16.1 grains H110

Cut down Lake City 5.56 NATO brass

CCI 400 primer

COAL 2.080"

Approx. 1900fps

Running out of Pmags Gen 1, Gen 2 and Gen 3, or from Lancer L5 AWM mags.

 

Awesome load with some punch and some speed.

 

Don't start off by replicating the charge weight, because my H110 isn't identical to your Lil' Gun.  My projo is pretty damn close, so COAL shouldn't be an issue. My LC brass has a little bit less case capacity than the once fired Rem brass, if you're using Rem .223 brass and not 5.56 NATO brass...

 

150s through a 300BLK rifle fuckin' RIP!

It's rem .300 manufactured brass new (once fired by me)

The projo has a crimp line for coal.

But pow online showes 13.9-15.9 for another projo?

Ill start at the lowest 13.9 but I'm not wanting a compressed load / pressure?

Guess ill give it a try thanks 98!

That cannelure isn't there for COAL on 300BLK loads, brother.  You sometimes need to adjust.  That's there for .308 Win loads, for military loads.  Nobody else uses a cannelure, but the .mil...

 

EDIT - Example here, on my 150gr loads - barely even touch the cannelure when I get the COAL that I need/want...

Are you sure that's what they were?  Did you have your glasses on when getting the pills out of the box?

 

No, I put them together with my eyes closed. :D
