300 BLACKOUT SUBSONIC LOADS ZIP
There are expanding bullets made for 300 BLK that work, but unless Barnes has come out with a new heavy bullet intended for subsonic speed, as a subsonic that thing will just zip thru soft tissue and make a. I am highly doubtful that the 200 gr Barnes will expand at all at the subsonic velocity you will get at that weight in. While i am asking if you have any 180 gr load data for LIL GUN that would be great also I have searched a little and can find all kinds of data for other weights. i know it would be a subsonic load, but the deer are small and they get really close.ĭoes anyone have an load data on a 200 gr pill. I have 10 Barnes TXP (i think that is the one) 200 gr bullets that i would like to load for some hunting reasons. The powder i want to use is LIL GUN, mainly bc i could find it. I am using some hornady 150 gr SST and some older spier points that i had laying around. Ok so i have finished my batch of brass and i am starting to work on my load data for the 300 BLK. Go to 300BLK forum for a cornucopia of knowledge on all things 300BLK. Subsonic rounds do not expand and are not the best choice for hunting. Fortunately Lil'gun is a very good supersonic powder. A good guideline is for best feeding, you want to set the ogive of the bullet so it is the same diameter as the 223 round where it hits the forward rib of the magazine.Īlso, for hunting, I would recommend scrounging up some 125 Pro-Hunters and using those instead. The recommended OAL for a 210 SMK is 2.120, and the Barnes is likely fairly long for weight so you may have to go a touch longer. If you absolutely have to give Lil'gun a try, a good starting load with a 200-210 gr bullet is from 8.2 to 8.7 gr, with an OAL dependent on specific bullet. Shooting with a suppressor increases backpressure and helps cycling alot too. If you are going to shoot alot of subs, I would also recommend enlarging the gas port to. I say this from experience, using an optimized system (standard CAR buffer, GI CAR spring, and well-lubed semi-auto carrier). You may also have luck with RL-7, or H4198, but those are more finicky. I have experimented with both carbine and pistol gas systems, and pretty much the only powder that reliably cycles a subsonic load in carbine gas is A1680. and they do! 1,023 FPS may be right on the edge of a subsonic.Lil'gun will work well for subsonic 200 gr, but almost certainly will NOT cycle your AR. Quillgordo, I thought I would see if Hodgdon had a subsonic Trail boss load for a 300 BLKOUT 110 gr bullet. They recently published updated and expanded data for the. Primer:Remington 7 1/2, Small Rifle Magnum Well, there is not much extensive data for reloading either, but Sierra Bullets is trying to help change that. and they do! 1,023 FPS may be right on the edge of a subsonic.but, it is what you seek! so, my advice is, if interested, check it out for yourself, and, of course, proceed with caution. I would assume Trail Boss powder could be the answer to your question.īut, I have also learned that assumptions are the cobblestones in the path to Hades. Since the 300BLKOUT has the same case as the 223rem and, 69 gr bullet is less than your 110 grs goal. I didn't Chrony them, but I am quite sure they were subsonic. I could have tried shutting the gas port off, but, I wanted the option to shoot high velocity, so I relegated them to hand fed single shot shooting. After loading so low that I had 5 squibs, I finally got one to clear the barrel, but that resulted in, non cycling, in a semi-auto. Trail Boss/IMR doesn't advise loads with less than 70% of max load, and I know why. I have experimented with 223rem 69gr subsonic loads and Trail Boss powder.
