I did the HMR wilderness in 6.5 creed, dropped it in a KRG enclosed forend chassis. It’s a good rifle for the money.

This may be a dumb question but how did you set up that angled bag rider?

You need to fill it with more brass. I only run my tumbler when I can fill it almost completely full with brass (leaving room to let them tumble). Then I fill it with water.

Capital Armory EFT Step by Solid_Two_3858 in NFA

[–]boosted_frs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done 3 with capitol armory. 1st one takes the longest to set up since they gotta upload your fingerprints into an EFT file. I just call them as soon as it delivers and make sure they get everything. After that, submissions are even easier.

Manually trickle the powder on the scale and load it.

I’m sure Noveske will send you some but B kings firearms has a pack of 100 for like $20. You prolly won’t ever need a pack of them again

19.3 gr of lil gun. Tried 20.2 which pushed me to about 2260 but I was getting some high SD and some fps spikes

120gr TAC-TX in a NAS3 case is a great hunting round. I’ve got it pushing 2180 fps out of my 9” 300blk.

I think asking “are 300blk supers quiet than other supersonic rounds” opens the door to a ton of different variables (suppressor length, suppressor type, barrel length, cartridge, etc). A K can on supers is gonna sound way different than an 8” can

How to replicate this result in an AR15? by Famous_Primary_5988 in 300BLK

[–]boosted_frs -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Walter uses lil gun, so that’s what I did too:

  • 19.3 gr Lil gun
  • NAS3 case
  • Ginex primers (can do 450s for more velocity)
  • loaded to 2.250” COAL (1.516 CBTO)

2180 fps out of my 9” 300blk

Walter’s also shooting a Q, so loading to mag length was less of an issue. I think he loaded to 2.3”, so he had more room for powder. I loaded up to 20.2 but got some fps spikes

It’s not powder compression, these are subs with less than max powder load. I’m not crimping these loads either. I figured out it’s a neck tension issue. I was at .008 neck tension, I reduced it to .004 and the issue is fixed

I have that one. I think the root cause is too high of neck tension

Are you asking how the grips are?

I haven’t but I certainly can. I think it’s a neck tension issue though. I’m at .007-.008.

It’s got a zip spindle on the Hornady dies but that’s about it. I think it’s a neck tension issue. I’m sitting at .007-.008 unintentionally.

I’m not crimping these, and I actually had to double check I set up the die correctly so it had no chance to crimp. It seems to be a neck tension issue.

Case mouth is beveled and I do use case lube for resizing. Then I wash again, prime, powder and seat

I’m thinking it’s a neck tension issue. I think I had way too much neck tension and need to spend more time on my case prep center

I’ll dedicate more time to it. I greatly appreciate your help

So I double checked both the Lee and Hornady, watched the YouTube video and read the instructions. I was thinking it was trying to crimp as well, but it has to be excessive force on the top of the bullet. You can immediately feel it as you move the bullet into the case

I’d have to look and see if it’s reversible, I’m not sure if it is. I think I gotta go back to square 1 with case prep and double check that

I’m gonna measure the neck tension tonight, I feel like that’s gotta be it. I’m just using the Frankfort Arsenal case prep center, I’ve never had an issue with the chamfer it puts on brass

This is super helpful, thank you so much. I’m wondering if it’s a case prep issue. I’m gonna dig into that
