Any commercial casters other than Missouri Bullets producing heavy 30 cal bullets (coated) for loading subsonic in 300 Blackout?
Edit: When I typed "boolits" my auto spell correct changed it to bolts. Sorry guys.

Gallant bullets has three weights of heavies sized to .310. I tried their 220 grain boat tails and 225 grain plain base. The 225s shot much better for me. I shot them subsonic in a x39 AR, not a 300BO.

Steel Valley has 220's. https://www.steelvalleycasting.com/caliber/300-blk/
Thanks for the replies. I was not aware of either one of these companies.
Gallant is running a memorial weekend sale, 10% off everything, Memorial-2019 is the code.

Good luck! Their boat tails didn't shoot well for me, but the plain base 225s were a different story.

This might sound dumb but, you know you can cast your own right?
If I were going to cast my own, I would buy this mold: http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/product...oducts_id=4683
However, I doubt if I will fire enough rounds to justify it. If I were younger and in better physical condition, sure I would. This 300 BLK will be for a bucket list wild pig hunt in Texas.
I like the 311-232-FN 5 NOE
Another question: I have never loaded cast in a bottleneck cartridge, that I recall. How do you flair the neck enough to not scrape lead when you seat the bullets. Years ago, I had 9X25 Dillon dies and they did not work worth a **** with jacketed. I can't imagine trying cast with those. Seem to recall I used a separate 9mm die to flair the necks. How do you 300 Blackout shooters do it with cast?
For my x39AR, I use a Lee universal expander die first before seating the bullet. I imagine it's a similar process for 300BO.

NOE has caliber-specific case mouth/neck expander dies
http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/index.php?cPath=565 it's used with the Lee universal expander die.
It flares the case mouth and enlarges the case neck
Acme Bullet has 245gr and 265gr coated, I have been thinking about getting some of the 265gr to play with.

I should have asked this before. Does anyone know if these flat nosed 240-265 gr boolits will expand any on pigs at subsonic speed?
