I've been thinking about trying WW231 in the 300 BLK. Yesterday I loaded 20 rounds with 231 and the NOE 247 cast using CCI 400 primers. Boolits were sized @ .310" and loaded to an OAL of 2.260" with a very light crimp. Four 5 shot groups were fired @ 50 yards using a Ruger Ranch bolt gun.
Results as follows: 4.3 gr = .837"
4.6 gr= .908"
4.9 gr= .598" (with 4 in .115")
5.2 gr= .682"
I'll do some further testing before trying the loads with the suppressor attached.Attachment 198436

Can't argue with results

Thanks for sharing those results!

Any idea of velocity with those?
Great,been wanting to try 231 in my savage bolt in 30-223
Loaded a few more up yesterday and was able to try the 4.9 load over my MagnetoSpeed. Velocities for a five shot string as follows: 968,971,957,996,968 for an average of 971 FPS with an SD of 14. I then shot a ten shot group suppressed which measured 1.142 with seven in .610, I wasn't using my rest , but just a sandbag as I was in a bit of a hurry. The suppressed rounds seemed quieter than my 17 caliber pellet gun. Suppress or was a 9MM full auto rated SWR which I had converted to a takedown model with a titanium monocore.Attachment 198496 Group was shot @ 50 yards..........
