Re: .300 Blackout

I have barely touched a 5.56 since I jumped on the 300 Whisper (precursor to 300blk) 15 years ago. Such a great cartridge IMHO. I really like the 130 and 150 grain Sierra Varminter projectiles for super and the 200gr Maker REX for subs

New rifle load

I worked up a wicked rifle load for my winchester 1892 357 mag today.   I am using 38 +p brass (annealed), H110 and the montana bullet works 160 grain hcfn-gc.   I hit 2125 avg velocity (at 7 yards) from a 24" barrel.  Thats 1604 ftlbs of energy with no pressure signs at all!!!!

Re: Why 357 only?

That makes sense.

I only ask because my favorite "magnum" load is built on 38 +p brass. It will not feed at all using magnum brass since C.O.A.L is too long but is phenominal in the 38 +p configuration.
