    Have you guys assembled 300 blackout with the 311235mp bullet and standing them up corrected the chambering issues?

    Last night I tested that bullet hitek coated, sized through a lee pass through 309 sizer, then loaded and shot in r-p 300blk brass, in my Ruger ranch rifle with pmag aac magazines and it worked well.

    Shooting off hand with green dot sight at the ranges max 21 yard distance twenty rounds grouped about the size of a nickel.

    That's exactly the problem I had with 300 Blackout. The loaded cartridges would not chamber easily at all! I solved it with Hitek coating the 311235 bullets.
    I was having the problem with the NOE bullet in the .458 SOCOM (on the right in the second pic) and the problem was solved when I started watching how much PC I was leaving on the bullet and standing them up. I also HT coat my bullets and was doing that before figuring out how to make the PC work. I like the HT for my pistol bullets but prefer the PC for the rifle bullets.

    I have been standing them up but I think I am going to try a batch just dumping them on the baking mat and see what happens.

    My baking pans are about 1/2 inch deep and I use a silicone mat. A piece of 1/2 hardware cloth with the sides and ends bent over is placed on the pan and the boolit is stood up on the wire. The only thing that will touch is the nose close to the tip. I didn't like the boolits sticking together or flat places.
