300 BO and VihtaVuori


Recommended Posts

Anybody use this powder for the BO? I want to load 110gr-125gr for small to medium game, coyote and such. I have some Barns TAC-TX and some Nosler ballistic tip I'd like to try.

I only use Vihtavuori these days, because it's about as clean as powder gets.  My 300BO shooting is 99% subsonic using N120 with heavier bullets, but I have loaded some Sierra 110gr Varminters with 16gr of N110.  They chrono at about 2080 fps from a 16" barrel.  

Cheers,

Rusty

There are a few good supersonic powders. If you are shooting jackets bullets it is really hard to beat the consistecy of Lil'Gun. I use it for supers and subs, 8 grains for subs weighing 200+ grains and 16 for supers weighing 150 grains or less.

A great " universal" powder is IMR 4227 because it works well for subsonic and supersonic loads. You can't get to the same velocities as with a supersonic powder but for a powder that does everything it is hard to beat.

BTW, what barrel length and gas length does your AT have?

Not sure if you have my number but if you, or anyone else, has ANY Blackout questions please contact me. I have an immense amount of experience with it. I have even designed bullets for it. I am less than a month away from selling a 265 grain bullet designed specifically for the caliber. It is shooting sub 2 MOA without load development. It is stable in any Blackout. Feeds from a magazine. And because it is so heavy it uses less powder which means it is quieter. They will be available from ACME bullet company initially but will also be available from some MAJOR component resellers. We have close to two years of independent testing of this bullet to ensure it is reliable and accurate.

My number is the Knoxville area code (VOL) 789-5796, anyone can call anytime because I enjoy talking about the caliber, guns as well as life.

DS it's a 16 inch barrel with a pistol length gas system w/adjustable gas block.  I've been running 10.6gn of 1680 with Hornady 208gr BTHP for subs. I'm looking to load some 110gr - 125gr bullets (supersonic) and thought there might be someone that uses Viht N110 powder.
