All kidding aside. 2.5-3grns of bullseye. I use powdercoat and never use gas checks, especially for suppressors. Mine are all user serviceable. Most the time I run 170grn with 3grns 700x. Stupid...

I've also played around with the HM2 62grn NATO mold PC no GC
i used 700x being the bulkiest powder and fast burning I had on hand, 2.5grns was used, velocity around 1070fps and not too high ES....

i don't think you'll see the advantage of the original design for what it was intended. They'll have to be loaded short or the front bands sized down to fit the chamber. In a single shot, this may...

Also, a major factor in velocity readings with semi-autos is the lock time of the action. For example, Glocks can show changes in velocity by simply changing the recoil spring assembly. Also, the...

I've loaded a bunch of the ideal 454-424 in a 1911, stupid fun and really nail steel. Keep velocity down and shoot it for what it is, heavy and slow. Loading these warm in a standard sprung 1911 is a...

I have seen at least 2 reports of cans not concentric made from SD parts. Both were from the threading of the adapter. But your right, they are making parts with as little work as possible, so they...
yup, this

Smaller bores supress better, fact. Smaller cartridges supress better(less gas volume for supressor to have to work with). 9mm subsonic is about as quiet as you can get in a current service caliber...

"Extra endcaps" is a no-go for a Form1 build. No extra parts allowed. Just build it for the largest caliber to be shot, shoot sub calibers as needed.

With everything that is "alike", there are different levels of quality. Personally I wouldn't buy a bushmaster or Dpms or Delton, no need to detail, they are the lower tier. Same goes with PSA's...

Shot my first one first day of use(twice), luckily it was skyscreen rod that took the damage. 10mm 200grn WFN from glock 29 will bend the rod at an 90 degree angle if hit right. I replaced it with a...
Or if you can find one, the Lee collet crimp is excellent and doesn't work harden brass. Track of the wolf is where I got mine.

Got 4 I built. Waiting on 5 more approvals.

Better Answer: from your chamber. Most the successful 300blk heavy loads run around2.10-2.14". Shorter if they won't chamber.

I believe he's referring to the increased back pressure induced by supressor. I've gotten 150's to cycle supressed(barely).

It is the powder coating that was causing the issue. I've run into this issue with almost all my .30 molds with close to bore or bore riding diameters. The only one that didn't need any adjustment...

Could do a scout mount. I believe it replaces top/rear handguard.

Hogdons data for a specific bullet or are you extrapolating data for another 130grn bullet. I'd suggest .2 grain reduction from minimum loads and see what happens. As above, ejector swipe, extractor...

I shoot a bunch of 311-291's over fast powder at subsonic speed in my Handi, supressed. 3-4grns of fast powder is what you seek. I've used 700x, red dot and bullseye. These run sub 1000fps and as...
My favorite load also, substitute Ideal 454424 at 252grs

Too fast. I'd also disassemble the BCG and check for lube buildup and/or lead. I've had best luck around 1800-1900 with .223.
