It shoots fine, not great in my experience, but fine. But I have a super ridiculous custom bolt gun in 300AAC and it doesnt feed well. The wide meplat tends to stick just on the edge of the chamber.

I was told that it is most likely a Simonson setup. And it looks like his in an article I have that he wrote.

That would be super cool SSG. I dont have the BTX yet but have an inquiry out regarding. I would think a dead soft jacket and core with the scoring would likely expand at least a little at 1000ish...

I was thinking of making the projectile as soft as it could be made right before loading. But then I guess they would harden up over time wouldnt they.

Hey Yall!
I shoot tons of 300 aac subs. TONS! Mostly at pigs, some at targets to get better at shooting pigs at varying ranges with subs. I recently acquired a super cool set of .308 dies and a...

Ill tell you from experience, dont shoot em with carbon arrows. They run a ways and score the outside of the carbon and it breaks at the score mark every dang time. Pretty expensive way to get rid...

Honestly I expected it to be kindof junk. The reviews were reasonably good, so I gave it a go. I got what I expected. On the upside, I do think it will make an excellent catfishing sinker!

Did some more searching and found lyman now makes a pro Mic Seating die....just bought that.

Waleone, That method of loading is sometimes called "chasing the lands" there are some great youtube videos regarding the method i am using. Search "Stop chasing the lands" and you should find it. ...

Quick review if your thinking of buying it. Im working on a ridiculous 300AAC project just for fun and at the same time working on a 300WinMag load for a moose hunt. I needed 2 micrometer dies for...

Not trying to brag. But some backstory. I had a rem 700 300AAC. It was a ***. bbl said 1-7 but was 1-10. Didnt shoot heavy subs for anything. Was a baffle striking SOB. Buddy of mine loved it with...

This must be pre ordained to work I think. Dad had like 220 pieces of brass. Precisely 200 bullets, and I had 200 CCI 350 in my stash.

JonB you were right. I put that die in the old lube sizer and sized 6 got all of em through with a T handle allen wrench and one good whack of my hand. One barely needed a nudge, the rest were...

Youre right. Theyre at the very least 8 years old. But id bet 13-15 is more accurate.

They seem tight in all but 1 I could tap one through with a few sturdy palm taps. The rest stuck. I measured the boolits with a micrometer and get .430 and .429 So seems like maybe a tight throat. ...

Hey yall. I have an old anaconda I picked up at a gun show years ago. Never shot it much. Just some factory loads here and there. Got some .44 brass and cast boolits in my dads stuff after he...
