    Well “No effect” is not quite right. We do know that powder choice can have an affect on accuracy.

    I was actually a bit surprised too, I expected that longer barrel lengths would actually favor...

    I need a bit more information before I can run this load. Mainly, your intended Cartridge Overall Length (COAL).

    Thanks,

    A shorter barrel isn't going to make much of a difference in for twist rate requirements. Your standard 1:8 twist rate is what I would go with unless you want to do something funky like shoot...

    Gotcha, then we aren't too far off.

    There are some variables that can help refine QuickLOAD results. One of these is the capacity of the case. I am sure you are aware that pressures in pistol...

    I load for 7.62x39, and IMR 4227 will work for it, but is too fast for 223 Rem, and too slow burning for 45 ACP. I would say that IMR 4227 is probably a better powder for 7.62x39 then 3031.

    QuickLOAD users

    Thanks for sharing those results.

    I’ve seen that with QuickLOAD sometimes it will overestimate the velocity, sometimes by quite a bit, especially when dealing with light for caliber loads.

    Personally I think shooting a plain Lead bullet much past 2000fps a bad idea. Let alone 3000+ fps.

    I’d contact Lee and see what they say about it. I’d be curious on their response.

    Pretty much any of the molds on the top row could be used for 300 BLK. The bullets will drop out at .309-.311 depending on the alloy.
