    300 blackout cast data / Or can i load cast bullets using starting jacketed data?

    I have been searching for 300 blackout data using cast bullets, results are spotty. Most of the data I have found is for jacketed bullets.

    I am actually looking for some bolt gun data, rifle and pistol powder.

    The bullet i have is about 130gr the mold is a 311410 MP


    Can i safely substitute and load cast bullets using jacketed data starting loads? I would never approach max loads....

    The short answer is yes.

    Check out 300blktalk.com there should be a lot of cast data over there as well.
    On every question of construction let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.

    for a 130gr bullet 32-20 data would be completely acceptable also.

    In my 300 blk AR pistol-10.5", I've been doing some load developments with my 30 cal. cast bullets. I've been using the 130 gr. RCBS-sp. My best load so far, 18 gr. - 1680, LC brass, Fed. 205, 1.93" OAL. At 100 yd. - 2.5 moa with 5 shots. BHO with the last shot. This load moves to the bonus round. 200m rams.

    I just tried 17gns of ADI Ar2205 under my Mihec 311410 (with the big hollow point) it was doing an average of 1870 fps from a 10.5" barrel, fed well, Lrbho, accuracy was something like 3/4" for 10 rounds at 25 yards but I was shooing for function and chrony not accuracy. The boolits were seated just past the grease groove.
