Where, oh where can I buy...


Recommended Posts

300 blackout? Seriously. Just got my pistol lower, my 10.5" upper is on the way, and I have NO 300 blackout ammo. This is my first firearm in this caliber, had NO idea it would be this hard to find food for it.

 

I survived the Obama-scare, I have enough 22lr that my 5 y/o granddaughter will still be shooting it, and I'm all set with everything else. Blackout? Not so much. This stuff is harder to find than 22lr was 8 years ago! 

So if anybody knows where I can find it within an hour of Jefferson City, I'd appreciate a heads up. If I'm being picky I'm told I should be getting 147 or 150gr to use in my 10.5" un-suppressed (for now) upper. 

 

Thanks!

You can do 110, 125 or 147gr no problem.  Lucky gunner has 125 gr Barnes OTM in stock, but it's not cheap.

I'll shoot whatever I can find, but $1.60/round for the match ammo they have listed is insane for plinking. This is a 10.5" pistol build truck gun, I want "minute of thug" accuracy inside 50 yards, not cloverleaf groups at 200:)

Ammoseek.com shows about 30 or more places that have it in stock. But as Shorty said, it ain't cheap. Prices run from $0.75 to $1.63 per round. :eek:

Forgot all about ammoseek. Been making the website rounds, I'll add them to the list. I think .75/round is my limit. Not really a inker but sucks having a gun too expensive to take out and play. Probably why I don't have a .50 cal...

Reload what, exactly? 

He means get into reloading your own ammo.     In the case of 300 blackout, it's based on the .223/5.56 brass that is shortened.    I don't do it personally since I don't use that caliber, but hear it's not that difficult to convert the brass.   

Reloading your own ammo really opens up your options for ammo supply and is a great hobby to expand your shooting fun.   You can shoot more for the same amount of money once you have your equipment.

I started this caliber when it was still very rare, had to convert my own brass to reload my own ammo.  I still do it, as commercial ammo is just too expensive IMO and it isn't any better than when I roll my own.

I Reload everything I shoot, 25 ACP,  45 colt, 38, 357, 44 mag, 308, 7 mm Remington mag, 223, 300BL all of it. Cast as well all the above, I will not run out for a very long time. I will add a drop my own shotgun pellets, cast buckshot and slugs. As well as reload 12 Gage.

So do you have a contraption to help with that?

Interesting...but it’d be a lot cooler if you had a 200’ shot tower in the back yard.  :lol:

I wonder how short you could get away with if you put AC into the tower..... Or maybe it cools too quick. I am not a lead shot physics specialist..

I never see anyone make buck shot like this. I guess there has to be a reason. Seems like it would be faster than casting since really just making the same thing but larger.

I have a mold to cast buck.

I was just wondering out loud IF it could be done, Everyone one I know uses a mold for buck. I actually have been keeping my eye out for a cheap mold to put back just in case. I don't reload as of yet, but you never know.
