I have just been building my first 300BLK SBR and prepping to load, first 300BLK loading. I came across Maker REX bullets and Sub-X and been trying to decide between them for starting place. Thanks so much for the great coverage here helping me decide to go with Maker! Also, as an ELD-X and ELD-M shooter those penetrating right thru were a shock at those velocities. Guess I have assumed better performance of those opening somewhat like other OTM bullets and the velocity just wont do it. Very good to lnow as I was thinking about ELD or GMX instead of Maker also.

so i mean, is 224 valk a waste of time if i already have a 20" 5.56 in 1:7 twist. i feel like it it just is an equivalent of a 5.56 load why bother?

Johnny have you ever done any testing with the Barnes TTSX BT 150gr 308 with lapua brass in the AR platform?

check the headspace perhaps? different ammo and after you use it I bet it will work fine and the accuracy will be there. Just guessing.

Late to the game here but if you turn on the saw and put bees wax on the death wheel it'll stop the brass from loading up the disc.

Hell of an opening statement lmao

I don’t know much about reloading, but that’s why I’m here , just trying to learn more before I honor amd buy a bunch of stuff that I don’t know anything about. You just shared some great knowledge, and a learning experience about the flash hole ( something to be aware of as I don’t want to make those costly mistakes) Great content ! I enjoy your videos and I look forward to seeing more . Subscribed !

Had to order a taller pan. Some powders would fly out of the pan even with the restriction piece installed. Also some ball powders work into the o rings. And it would lock up the aluminum dispenser tube. Did some research. Just add a small amount of oil on the o rings. I bought it based on its footprint. But I absolutely love this thing now. Had it for over five years.

Wow!

Watching you shoot groups got me into reloading. Watching you shoot 5 shot groups and you get 3 shots into .5”, then the 5th shoots an inch high and it’s deflating. It’s like scratching a lotto ticket. I don’t know how to describe it. Thank you for introducing me to this amazing hobby. I’ve been doing it for 6 years now and am very sad to see you stop making videos. But I hope whatever you are doing makes you happy.

We really miss your videos man... hope you are doing well and just taking a break.

Any load data for suppressed 6.5

That was a great Paul Harrel parody 😂

This is by far the best reloading channel anywhere. Thank you.

Awesome. Thank you

26 gr of 8208 will stack them.

I find with all copper bullets' I need to clean the barrel really well then they shot great but if I shout 1 lead based bullet the groups will got to shit unless I clean really well again.

Barrel makers now offer 300blk in a 1:5 twist. It offers MUCH more stability in the 175+ projectile weights. I saw a significant accuracy increase when I switched

Great video, I don't know anything about reloading and this was very interesting. You apply the scientific method and gather Imperial data and report your results.

Thank you for this video, I'd like to see some kind of review on the Nexus Press - Short Action

Always clean brand new dies!

did you make a spreadsheet with this data? I have a WOA 18" barrel and would love to know which loads shot the best. Can anyone tell me? I watched like 5 of these videos but didnt take notes - HELP PLZ

Are those groups at 100 yards?

Great video thanks How does a minimum load 357 compared to a +p .38 perform with recoil in a revolver?

Enjoying this video (perhaps for a second time) in 2024. I have that same scale and love it. May have learned about it from this channel or another RUclips channel

What twist rate is your barrel?

I know I am late but a good suggestion is to use a brass catcher like the caldwell

Looks a lot like a big latter test to me. It goes in and out of tune.

I like that you shot the 200gr Maker Rex ammo out of the 10.5” 300 Blackout Pistol/SBR and not just the 16” rifle, and letting that be the “speak-all”for the 300 blackout AR style platform. I like the way Maker Rex bullets expanded. What would have been the difference in penetration if you have used the FBI Gel instead? Liked the video, will be searching through your content for more. Thank you.

I have 2 A.R. Stoner barrels. They started out shooting poorly. I hand lapped both barrels with Brasso between cleaning with Hoppes #9. I have one shooting very well and the 2nd one is coming along nicely.

I see this as case capacity means little. Primers and powder load means much more.

Dave's a badass! Black oxide and all!

I know this is an old video, I've been lurking this channel for a while, catching up. Anyway, recently I've watched another video about harmonic resonance and rifle barrel tuning. Being behind the curve, this could be in another video in this series I have yet to watch. So evidently, by utilizing a phone app called Spectroid and tapping on the barrel while moving the position of a barrel weight, it was explained as being possible to tune the barrel without ever taking a single shot. I have yet to try this, the Limb Saver utilized in this video I have on the way for entertainment purposes if nothing else. I've also looked into motor collars briefly, which sprang a few "Bubba" flavored aspirations, but IMHO anything hanging on a rifle barrel looks kind of goofy. 50 of my "pet" loads ready to go and previously shot targets that I keep as records for validation should this actually work. Color me interested. Edit: I looked up the video. ruclips.net/video/FlKGkt8m9W8/видео.html

I miss these videos.

I used to be a squib….

Word on the street is Aliant powders has gone government. No more powders sold to the public.

Lol I had my first compressed loads the other night. Heard a little crunching and got freaked out. Quickly out came my Lyman manual to make sure I wasn’t going to blow my face off

Exactly not the person to listen to for reloading

“A big ole long throat.” Huh, knew a cheerleader like that once…😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I really like PMC brass. Very consistent brass.

This round is supposed to have been made for the 14.5 barrel of an M4 rifle, but does not seem to be accurate with the 16inch 1/7. The bullet height is 12 thousandths longer than a Nossler 77gr

I obtained a 200 bullet sample and measured the weight there is a variation of 0.2 grains, even cheaper Bob's bullets have a 0.01 variation, you also mentioned the height variation, so height of the insert plus weigh of the bullet variation would explain the wide groups you are getting and speed variations as well. I have seen the gel tests, this round is about the same as the original M855. I wonder if the benefit is on the penetration through hard objects.

Thanks. I just bought an m1a. And this was very helpfull. Im still learning about ammo

I actually prefer, the now discontinued, Lehigh 176 grain controlled fracturing

Johnny, I Zeroed a Bergara B-14 24" barrel for my partner with Hornady 22-250 V-Max 50 gr at 100yds. I can't believe how well it sends those. like almost one hole group, so took it to 300 yds. with .1 mil up, shot a .38 " group,, it's FPS avg. is 3975, you have any clue what powder they are using? Most what I see except for the H 380 you loaded is around 3500-3600 FPS, all of the shots were out of the box. He took it P dog hunting in ND 3 weeks ago and was busting them at 550yds. Enjoyed your video so much, keep them coming . 👍👍👍👍

The oxidation from the annealing process is Cupric Oxide (CuO2) and at a molecular level it is tenacious, readily transfers to other metal substrates, and shows extremely poor lubricity. Tumbling in a medium which will scrub the CuO2 from the neck of the cases will be beneficial to your reloading equipment and to the repeatability of your case sizing.

Good old video, yet I have a question. Would you know if your grandfathers loads used the 150 grain boat-tailed spire point interlocks? My flat based Interlocks seem to be losing it at 200 yards from my picky .308 Tikka. Sierra #2145s and #2140s have been my best performers to date, and this is a T3 Lite so you may be able to imagine the efforts over the years.

Next: a case stuck in the resizing die...

I chose an Ugly Annealer a while ago and I dig that adorable machine.
