30/06
55 grains of one of the 4350 variants in any case with any primer and a good 180. If your rifle doesn't shoot this load well, then something is wrong with it. Same goes for 57/4350 and a good 165.

Guessing 2900, I've not run it over a chronograph yet. This is my go to hunting load.
Looking for subsonic 300 Blackout loads. Looking for good low cost components to build ammo for shooting steel 10-100 yards. Subsonic 300 Blackout should be like shooting 45ACP 230gr+P as far as safety and target damage. Right?
There will be a little more damage due to the pointed projectiles, but that shouldn't matter to steel.Quote:

What dies do you use? Do you have a special die to expand the casemouth? Do you have to crimp after seating the bullets? I have used carbide expander balls in rifle dies and they do reduce effort/stress on the person and the shell case. I recommend carbide expander balls bottleneck shell cases.Quote:

My pet M2 Ball clone load:
Hornady 150gr FMJBT
46.5gr IMR 4064
Misc cases full-length resized
Fed 210 primer
3.185" COAL
Pushes that 150gr pill right about 2700fps, and my particular M1 shoots it about 3.5MOA with my shitty right eye.
308
46/Varget/a good 165/WW cases/CCI 200 primer.

My 9.3x62mm 'cheap' practice load:
Prvi Partizan 285gr JSP
59.5gr Big Game
Priv cases (neck sized after firing)
WLRM primers
3.300" COAL
No crimp
Shoots a legit 1MOA out of my Ruger African. I used this load for my pre-safari practice sessions and the local safari rifle matches.
Note that I have no idea if the pressure is suitable for older small-ring Mauser designs; this is purely for modern Rugers.
Just out of curiosity, how does it compare to H335? That's been my go to for the 55 FMJ's since I started playing around with the .223/5.56. Thanks.Quote:

I've shot several 8 pounders worth of 2230 behind 55 FMJs, about 15 years ago so it's hard for me to remember, but it performed just as well as H335 from what I recall. A few years later I acquired a whole bunch of surplus SMP 735 and have been shooting that.Quote:

My buddy says it's pretty much the same. I haven't used H335.Quote:

This load is sub-MOA from my rifle (22” Savage). It is hotter than the Hornady book max, but 2gr less than max in a couple other books.
It will cleanly take deer at 300yds.
