Finally got back to the reloading bench and loaded some dummy rounds at 2.090. Still to long seems to be hitting the rifling. Very hard to cycle the bolt and scratches on the bullet. Also the moves forward so something is not right. I have never loaded 300 blackout or used H110 not sure how it acts when shorter than recommended COL. going to 2.78 seemed to be better. So Bear Creek barrels have short chambers? You guys think I would be safe going this short? At this length it’s still only about halfway in the cannelure. I think I should be ok going to this length as long as i stay at minimum charge weight.

I want to learn trigger works and action tuning to start with and gradually getting to barrel fitting and learn 1911 work

Anyone have suggestions on some good books to learn gunsmith ? I have done an AR build and a few other minor things. I really enjoyed putting my AR together would just like to learn more.

I have visited Wyoming a couple times awesome place just do not think I could handle the winters.

I knew that setting depth did not look right. Sometimes I over research things but I am glad I did some checking on this one.

Thanks. I also just found on Hornady website that there is a error in the 9th addition manual I have. The correction says 2.090. https://press.hornady.com/assets/pcthumbs/tmp/1410993774-9th-Edition-Handbook-Updates-Errata1522702177.pdf

Anyone loading 300 blackout with H110 and Hornady 150 gr FMJ? Loaded a dummy round to set COL at 2.20 I know the max is 2.260 but this round looks really long. It’s not even close to the cannelure. I measured some american eagle 150 factory and it’s much shorter. Is this common among 300 blackout?

2 weeks ago Rule King had 9mm for $8.99 a box i almost always buy a box when I am there whether I need it or not. But check and store it up. By the way finely got around to putting my 300 black out AR pistol together and can’t find any ammo other than 2 box I got a few weeks back. Has anyone seen any that is reasonably price? Can’t believe I didn’t buy any back in November- January while gathering parts for the build.

Royal Range has PMC 9mm 115 grain for $44.95 for 50 rounds and $800 for a case of 1,000

Off subject but I was at ruel King in Clarksville and they had Armscore 9mm for 8.99 limit of 2.

I know Top hat guns does smith and restoration work. I have not used them yet I believe they are located in Cumberland city if I remember right.

Congratulations my wife and I just had our 11th in May and this past February we adopted 2 boys a 2 and 3 year old. Well technically we got guarding ship the adoption will be finalized on Monday.

I am either Gottlieb put Xs or trijicon HDs on my glock not sure keep got back and forth

Any say I have had problems from winchester but I have from remington a few years back lots of failures to fire. I have a co worker that had a box of remington 38 all and 357 that most would not fire also.

I also like CFE223 but still have not tried it in 308. My most accurate 223 load so far has actually been with H335 and a 55grain BTFMJ.

RL15 works great in my 308 Mossberg patriot with 168 grain Hornady match bullet. I can group just under a inch at 100 yards. I have not yet tried it in 223 but I will soon as I get a chance to load some up. RL 15 measures pretty good thru my Hornady powder measure also. I have heard varget dose not still haven’t tried it though.

I took my wife to a good family owned gun shop in Dickson that I visit regular they know me by name. The owner is a retired police officer ( his daughter in’s it mostly now) she is also very knowledgeable. Told him she wanted something to carry. They got several out of the case and laid them out for her to handle. She pick a Glock 43X. I told them what I had and that she really didn’t care for any of them so we had that part narrowed down.

Nitrous Oxide with the right set up= night HP crazy fast cars. Last I heard it was about $45-50 to get a 10lbs nitrous bottle filled at my local speed shop. Sounds like a potential investment opportunity.

More reason to always carry

Plus it’s fun. Unfortunately I haven’t had time to load since we adopted our boys.

Stoger make one I have considered myself and I like the exposed hammers for the old west look. CZ makes one if I remember right but they are more pricy than Stoger. Cimarron and Unertia also make nice ones. I believe Centry makes them as well but the Centry I handled sloppy.

Here is what I am slowly working on. Aero lower rise arement trigger 10.5 in Bear creek barrel low profile gas block with a pistol length gas system and chambered in 300 BLK. What length hand guard would you use seen from 7-10 inches. Also looking at possibly free floating it just because.

Got pretty rough here in Dickson county. No damage to our house but a tree fell at my in laws and ripped the power lines off there house. A friend of ours down the road got some roof damage and some down trees.

Farmers Armory in Dickson get lot of my business formally Johns guns and ammo his daughter runs it now. They have some reloading stuff mostly powder and primers. You may also check out Midsouth Shooters Supply in Clarksville for reloading supplies they have a good selection. Midsouth does mainly online order but they do have a pick up counter but I believe pick up is currently closed.

If you can find one a winchester wildcat worth a look. Handled one at the nra show last year really liked supper easy to disassemble for cleaning and they take 10/22’mags. There is also nothing wrong with a 10/22 in any configuration.
