I quench everything. I can use cheaper alloy and make it do what I need. I use less of my WW alloy this way and still get good bullets for both pistol & rifle. Plus its easier for me to just drop...

Start at 16 gr of 2400 and work up. I ended up at 16.5 grains in my 03. This load is easy on the rifle,brass and your shoulder! I usually shoot these at 100 yards (when my 14yo son lets me shoot!)....

Yes and have worked well in Garands, 03's, o3a3's no ftf or hangfires. I have fired about 2000 of these. I will buy more.

You can increase the charge of powder until you get cycling provided you are using an acceptable powder. You may be going too fast with that weight of bullet when it cycles.I use 35 grains of 4895...

They don't eat anything, cast away! I can shoot them faster than casting so good to have a stockpile.

My 03's & o3a3's and even garands like the lee 180 gr w/gc. In 03's 16.5 gr 10B101, in garand 35 gr 4895.

A little drop of water on the mould is not a problem. Just keep the water away from the pot!
I use unique in 45 acp and many other pistol calibers. I even used quite a bit of the Russian surplus unique when it was cheap and available. Unique is not the cleanest powder but my handguns like...

I do not have a blackout but a 300/221with a carbine port gas system and standard carbine buffer. I do not have any functioning trouble with any supersonic loads with cast or jacketed. When I try to...

Buy either one now. It doesn't matter. You will go back and get another!!!!!
You can shoot cast for fairly cheap from them.

Better becareful deces they may make a target from your picture!!!!! :)

The Lee 230 AAC needs to be sized larger. I am going to have to beagle mine out. The mold casts fine as long as you don't drop them from mold too soon and bend them! My upper is a Model 1 sales...

Hydraulic, if I am reading this correctly you could not get the Garand to burn clean enough to cycle without using the kicker? I am interested in these powders if I can get cast to cycle the action...

I became aware of the CMP after the bolt guns had run out. I am in the "lottery" as well. Better odds than the normal state lottery's! Good luck!
Forum: Military Rifles
These are great shooting guns. Nothing like resoring one back to original configuration. Yours should make a good match gun. I started shooting these matches last year a my local club, had a ball. I...

The 300 fireball is fun to play with. I believe this is a 300 whisper with a different name. Supersonic with H110 & subsonic with AA1680 under 200 gr cast. Model1 sales upper.
Is the 300BLK the...

Anyone try this in a 30-06 yet? I am currently using "the load" with 2400. Looks like it may be a good candidate for CB loads in my 03a3.
Thanks

Try lubing the bolt carrier lightly. My AR cycled at about 9gr AA1680. Little finicky but once you get it figured out it is a load of fun. My son loves the mild recoil & lack of muzzle blast. It...

I can't remember the exact measurement but if you keep the gas check in the neck it is near max oal to fit into the magazine. I had planned on using the 2400 as well. I am working up a load using the...
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
Yes it AA1680 cycles the action. The cases drop comparable to the supersonic H110 loads. The other issue you may have with a new upper ithe bolt needs to be "broke in". It may take 100 rounds of...

I use AA1680 @ about 9.5 grains behind the lee 200 gr GC bullet for subsonic. H110 cycles fine with supersonic loads. 2400 I am still working on loads. My M1 sales upper is standard with the carbine...

I have the standard 16" barrel with the carbine gas port. AA1680 for subsonic loads cycles fine. H110 cycles fine with supersonic loads.
BTW I do not know about the olympic arms 45acp AR-15 but I...

I have been playing with a model 1 sales 300 whisper upper. It is a blast to shoot. I use 200 gr lee cast & 110 grain j-word bullets. AA 1680 in subs for cycling & h110 for supersonics. I find the...
Forum: CB Loads / Military Rifles
A friend gave me 200 of these that I cut off and am using for 300 whisper subsonic loads. I will not use them for full house loads but for subsonics they seem fine so far.
