350 Legend and W296/H110/AA11FS WARNING

[44Blam]

Then we're good (so to speak)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As far as subsonic loads/light(er) bullet CatSneeze bolt guns go, I dunno.
I'll jinn something up with unique/158-ish/SAECO#398/1,000fps or SO tomorrow and not worry about ejection

Norma 200 is much lower pressure. I actually have different buffer springs and with the 180 grain boolit and a case full of Norma 200 I have to use a light spring to get it to cycle properly 100% of the time.

Anyone played with Unique or 2400 with this cartridge? I have a plain base mold from acccurate I need to cast and coat with for the bolt gun. I also want to fool around with 124 and 147 grain j words. I have no need for full power loads in the bolt gun and was thinking that something between 100 and 1500 FPS would extend brass life, be fun and economical to shoot, and all that would remain would be to find a safe, accurate load.

Yes.
135gr MP, 9gr unique 1519fps 10 shot avg. 2" group at 100yds

200gr hp MP clone rcbs, 7gr unique 1070fps avg 1.5" group 100yds

180gr NOE, 9gr unique 1402fps avg, 3.75" group 100yds

...I'm loading 28.2grain and its compressed. There is only about 3/16"of space...

I’m confused here, how can a compressed load have 3/16” of air space?

I'm thinking he means 3/16" from the case mouth, which the bullet shank is much longer than that.

bolt gun and was thinking that something between 1000 and 1500 FPS

This afternoon:

SAECO#398-PlainBase/Lym#2 (158gr as-cast)/PC Eastwood_MirrorRed / Sized 0.358"
W231/8.0gr (0.7cc)
FedSmPstl
WIN Brass
2.025" OAL

15" CMMG Upper / SINGLE LOAD (Doesn't reliably magazine feed at that OAL)
22,300psi / 1,387 fps +/- 05 (very consistent)
3/4" at 50yds
Does not Eject

Hodgdons h110 starting loads gave me cratered primers. Broke down the rest. Seems like velocity and point of impact matched or was very close to the factory loads of the 165 ftx.

Thanks for the Unique loads. Sounds like experimenting between 7 and 10 grains should be well within the margin of safety and may yield a usable load or two. Have cast 124s, will have cast 180s, will try those and probably 124 and 147 J words.

Hornady FL sizer die will pull AR shot brass back in spec like a small base die

[mulespurs]

Maybe I ain't doing it right but I am shooting the Lee 200gr gas checked powder coated under 21 gr w 296 0r H110 with good results on one large buck at 200 big steps and various varmits. I haven't had any bad primer pockets that I have noticed'

Welcome to the Forum!

Is that different than the one that comes in Hornady's 4 die set? Mine won't touch the bottom 3/16 with the die contacting the shell holder.
