    Excellent, so the 178’s I have should be fine. Perfect, that saves me the cost of another box of ammo then.

    Much appreciated.

    Ammo compatibility question

    Question for the group. I put a new barrel on my hunting rifle this year, and was planning to shoot 150 gr Barnes TTSX hand loads. But I just ran out of time to do load development.

    I have a full...

    Hello hive mind. I’m slowly buying the pieces to load for my 300 blackout, but I’m not there yet.

    In the meantime, I’ve got a shiny new can to test out. So I’m looking for an affordable source of...

    I’m not super worried about unburnt powder, but it’s a fair point. The can I’ll be using is rated up to 338 Lapua, so it can handle some pressure.

    If I understand correctly, a slower powder isn’t...

    Barrel length question

    Yeah, I’m not terribly likely to take a 400 yard shot. But I might. More likely I’ll zero at 200 and shoot to 300. A 165 at 2750 would only drop 8” below 0 at 300 that way. And 24” at 400.

    Sounds...

    That’s fair I suppose. And I can always drop down to 150’s and pick up extra velocity. Either one should work on mule deer.

    18” just seems really short somehow. Luckily where I hunt isn’t thick...

    That’s a great way to look at it. Start with terminal ballistics and back into it… smart.

    I’ve heard suppressors do give higher velocity for the same charge, but probably smart to just ignore that...

    Sounds like you’ve found the problem. Don’t worry about it though, we all make mistakes. At least you didn’t get hurt or damage anything.

    No way the temp did that. Most likely the squib rounds didn’t get powder. A primer would push the round to the lands like that.

    It’s surprising how easy it can be to miss powder on a couple rounds...

    That’s a fair point, but I never have issues with factory ammo. And I don’t have this problem on my 460 Rowland where I’d expect a limp wrist to show up.

    I knew I got that number somewhere reliable. I’ll give the .03 a whirl and see how they fly.

    I guess I’ve got brass prep to do, then back to the bench. Not a bad deal really.
