Nice looking barrel, brother!  I'm racking up another parts-bin as we speak, but I'm still waiting on the receivers and rail.  Rail should be here tomorrow.  Aero Precision just got the receivers back from annodize today, so it'll be late next week before I get those in my hands.  Then I need to paint. 

 

Gonna be two weeks before I can shoot this thing.  :-[

I picked up some Rem UMC 300 AAC 220gr  subs at $22.98 on Friday. The same guy also has 125gr Rem OTM 300 AAC at $36.99 and Barnes Vor-TX 300 AAC 110gr (don't know price, probably high $35-$40)... may go back to pick up more.

Jim, load it, brother, don't buy it. 

This, a hobby in its self. Any of you 300blkers tinkering with powder coated cast boolits?

Saving funds at this time to start casting my own projos. I found a thread where this guy claimed to be pushing these pc boolits up to 3,300 fps with no ill effects. I cant remember what site the thread was from though.

Oh I am. Well, starting too at least. Never reloaded, but now that I have Vera, I'm learning. Have a buddy who is a benchrest shooter teaching me part by part. Of course he's giving me crap for those 'inaccurate' semi's I like to play with. He's a 'not happy unless he gets 5 shots thru the same hole' kinda guy. But I've amassed 10# of H110, more than enough primers, some serious lead, and will have some made up this week when we complete the lessons. I just can't find any A1680 for the subs tho. But since my can is months away (positive thinking...) I have time to collect it.

Jim,

 

If there's a sportsman's warehouse close to you (I think they have 3 or 4 in AK), they seem to have AA1680 in stock when I last checked a couple days ago. Buy some online and have it ship to store. Screw those horrible shipping charges. :D
