Can the end user do anything other than looking through the barrel with the can mounted? Is there a more accurate way?

Thanks for the heads up.

Crimp die is already gone. At least there is a backorder option available now.


Wonder how long this will take? Weren't these a special run item?

I tried a traditional media tumbler one time to clean the baffles in my 22 suppressor. I gave it about 24 hours, very poor results. Really couldn't tell anything had been done. I just bought a rock tumbler that uses stainless pins and soap/warer. This thing really works well but it appears that it w...

Thanks for the evaluation.

Now if Midway will just hurry up and get them in stock.

Would it ever be advisable to use their (or any other brand) crimp die on a bullet that does NOT have a cannelure? I've seen an advisory in reload books when using H110 powder in a 44 mag for example to use a heavy crimp to aid in uniform powder burn. Does this apply with bullets without the cannelu...

I am interested in the long term consequences of this method. When I worked in jewelry, tumbling had the benefit of significantly "work hardening" the metals. The tumbling can make metals brittle. I wonder if long term cleaning will have the same effect and if this can be detrimental to t...

Q: What is the standard barrel length for 300 AAC BLACKOUT? A: The SAAMI standard is 16 inches instead of the normal 24 inches for other rifles cartridges. We felt that 24 inches was unrealistic, and would lead to inflated velocity numbers on factory ammo, if the ammo were reported for a long barre...

Still using the mixed reformed .223 brass and metering the powder, so I am very happy with the results. 19.8 grains of H-110 Remington 7 & 1/2 primer Sierra 110 grain HP Varminter http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h121/mswildfowler/th_DSCN0266.jpg I also recovered some of the bullets from the be...

Is the 3-lug mount and the fixed barrel mount for the Octane-9 the same mount that's used on the the Trident? They look the same. Obviously, the booster is different.


THanks.

Nice.

Octane-9 / HD Specifications
Category: Pistol / Carbine / Submachine gun
Calibers: 9mm & Subsonic .30/ .357/.38

Subsonic .30 caliber. Is this an official rating for 300 BLK in subsonic loadings?



Thanks.

I wonder if this explains why I am getting about 50 fps more than what's published in the Sierra book for their Whisper loads?


Thanks for the info.

I shot the same load at 100 yards yesterday. I was using a much better rest for this 10 shot group. For reference, the red circle is two inches. This was shot using mixed 223 brass reformed into 300 BLK. Metered powder charge. (not weighing each one) http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h121/mswildfowl...

I finally got my upper this week. Here's a pic of a 10 shot group I fired from the 60 yard line at my local pistol range today from a make-shift bench. This group is significantly better than what I get with my 9mm AR15 from the same distance. This multi-shot group is at least 25% the size of the 9m...

Right now it's looking like the first batch will ship to us in mid May. That's only a couple of weeks away! :D How are we looking on this? I believe you may have one of these from the first batch in all stainless with my name on it via Cliff Decker in Madison? Thanks. Is no news good news? I sure h...

Ask and ye shall receive: Check out the latest Brownells "1911" catalog (number 7) on page 8. They've got a Nighthawk Custom suppressor series featured. Caption states that pistol is for use with AAC sound suppressor. I guess Brownells couldn't take the pressure they were getting from arou...

I've seen some talk of folks using "pull down" mil-surplus bullets in the 300 Blackout for plinking. I'd like to find something in the 110-125 grain range rather than 150-168 if possible so I can more closely duplicate my other super-sonic loads that I'll be varminting with. What I don't u...

Is this something we can have for free?

That's the one I was looking at in the video.


Nice work!!

Have you had a chance to chronograph that load? I'd like to know what 16 inches of barrel length makes over the Thompson Contender 10 inch barrel loads in my book.


Thanks.

Anyone know if the fast twist (1:11) .44 mag barrels are accurate with 240-300 gr cast boolits Best mine will do, is 2 1/2" at 100 yds, on a good day, with 240 gr XTP's. 300 BLK will be more accurate for sure,,, I can't seem to get 77/44 any more accurate (consistently) than that either. I'm w...

I've noticed when using faster burn pistol powders, crimp doesn't really seem to matter, but too much crimp can affect the point of impact. I do crimp when using Blue dot or 296/110, etc. With the 296 in particular, my 100 yard groups open up if I use less than a heavy crimp.

I thought you were asking about the 147 grain load in that link you provided? Sierra shows a max of 19 for both powders for their long OAL Encore/Whisper load.

Last fall at my range for a couple weeks in a row we picked up mil-surplus 45 brass with head stamps from the 40's. I never could figure out who was shooting it to ask if I could buy some.
