Has anyone opened the neck up on a 300 blackout barrel with a 7.62x39 neck reamer to 0.340” to accept cast loads with converted brass more readily?

I’ll give this a go. I can weld the spout solid to fix that leak and I’ll lap it where the valve seats
Forum: Casting Equipment
I may be able to. I ripped it all apart and straightened and cleaned it. The problem is where the valve stem seats at the top of the valve it is slightly warped. Not sure if I will ever get a seal...

I may try plain base pc in an sks and vz58. Nice thing about these guns they are typically way over gsssed and can operated the gas system at fairly low velocities

Has anyone had any luck with powder coating or hitek costing 22 cal plain base bullets in the 2200fps range.

Ok thanks guys. That’s kind of what I figured. I’ll start another thread on the particular issues I am having.

Good Day Folks
We all are familiar with bullet diameter/fit, alloy, lube, coatings and the effect they have on leading in the barrel.
What about high volume shooting and a hot barrel? Is it...

The problem is it is a new point form die. He replaced my last one after I made many thousand bullets with it. (I screwed it up. It didn't wear out). I think the jacket with seated core is too big...

That's a good point. Maybe I'll send both dies to BT and he can have a look. I'll take some measurements when I get home

I ended up ordering the the polygonal rifled barrel. I will let you sll know how it does.
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
I can get a 1:8 12" but it has polygonal rifling. Is polygonal rifling that bad to shoot cast out of or is that mostly myth. I can also get a cut rifled barrel but it is double the price at 400 bucks
