What did you do today in the reloading room?

Wanted to do some scope work the other day and play with the Garmin. Upon firing the first group I realized my groups kinda sucked, but my load was rather anemic. Reworked the load in the new brass I just got and picked up nearly 250 fps. This will do. 223 with starline brass, 8208, and a rmr 75gr bthp. I'll try this load at 1k in a few weeks

Update to my 243 hunting load I've been working…. I basically gave up on the 75 HHT and ordered 90 gr accubonds BUT I tried one more recipe today. 75 HHT at 2.600 and 42 gr H4350. Shortening up the OAL and lowering the powder from what I was doing and it worked! 0.6" and that's good enough for me for my 243 hunting load. I guess I have some accubonds to do something with now.

Put those 90gr AccuBonds over some H4831 (or H4831SC if you can find any), 90-100gr projectiles and H4831SC is my 243 go-to

Keep us posted on the 7 PRC load. I'm using N570 with mine. I'm going to try a few with LRT because my 28 Nosler loves it. Maybe I can do with just the one powder. I have to try the 570 in nosler first to be sure.

Post in thread '7mm PRC build'

Thought I'd wrap up this thread with a final load. Ultimately, I wanted to shoot the 195 Berger EOL with N570 in this gun at 3000 fps. Like others have found, there is a high node that is a little over 3045 fps in a 24" bbl but accuracy isn't what I was looking for and brass will not last due to high pressure. I may load some just for hunting and throw away the brass afterwards.

The next lower node proved to be wide with 1/4 moa accuracy at 2850 fps with 69.8gr N570

Overall, I'm very pleased with this build and I'm tempted to buy another barrel in a different caliber.

Finally got around to loading some more 300blk subsonic ammo. This batch contains 220gr Berry's bullets with 9.8gr of Accurate 1680.

I have 500 of these Berry's Bullets to load up myself. My initial plan was to use CFE Black, but I now have IMR 4227, and H110. Wish I could simply walk outside and shoot a quick batch while loading, but that would generate a massive police response.
Sniper23, what barrel twist do you use for these 220s? I have a 9.5" 1:8 twist and a 16" I don't even know twist on an Sig MCX switch barrel setup. I bought that special combo setup 9 years ago and have never used the 300BO barrel.
