Ok so im going to be finishing my latest ar-15 build chambered in 300 blackout in the next week or so. 16" 1-8 twist stainless barrel with a carbine length gas system. I got the dies last week and have formed up a few hunded pieces of brass.
I have spent the last 2 days looking for cast bullet load data and havn't come up with much, mostly jacketed data and subsonic cast data.
I dont want subsonic data, I dont plan on buying a supressor in the forseable future. I dont plan on hunting with it, so I dont care about terminal ballistics (which is what every thread ive come across ends up being about.) Im looking for accurate and reliable target loads. I plan to work up my own loads over a chrony, I just want some good starting points and I will post my results for others who are having a hard time finding load data for this cartridge.
Ok so I have 3 bullets at the moment that I want to try; lee 309-170f. Lee 312- 155r. And the lyman 311359. I will probably buy a mould specifically for the blackout, but I would like to try making one of those 3 work. Any suggestions on which mould to buy for my intended purpose would be appreciated.
I have read of people using rx7 and 5744 for subsonic loads, but can they be used for supersonic loads? I ask because I have them on hand and powder is hard to come by right now.
So what are you guys using for your 300 blackout supersonic cast bullet loads?
