One for the Krag experts:
So I'm handloading 220gn HC slugs (primarily) for my 30-40 under 5744 or Varget.
I've been seeing heavier .30-caliber HC boolits, typically powder-coated and weighing in at 230gns, 245gns, and 265gns, being marketed for the .300 BLK reloaders. Diameter seems to vary. Graf & Sons shows a bunch of these in stock.
Was just curious if any of the 30-40K fans here have played around with the heavier .30-cal Blackout slugs - and if so, how was accuracy?
Berry's also sells heavy plated Blackout bullets, but states that max velocity is limited to 1400 or 1500fps.
I've never hot-rodded my Krag anyway, which is a hand-me-down inheritance from my Gramps. Max velocity with the 220gn boolits I load now is in the 1800-1900fps range, which is still shy of the original military m.v. for that bullet-weight (about 2000fps).
The point of this heavy-weight exercise would be for plinking and general sh*ts-n-giggles at the range. But honestly, if the accuracy of a particular 230gn-265gn boolit really shined (at least out to 100-yds), I'd consider it for deer camp.
Thanks in advance!
