147gr M80 in 300blk

[jcoosi]

Has anyone on here ran these through their 300blk setups yet. I have found several loads over on 300blktalk. Just curious if anyone on here had any known good loads.

 

Powders I have are

 

A1680

LilGun

842

844

 

Looking for some h110 and w296

Lil'gun runs great with those.  Nothing personal, but I'm hesitant to share my actual charge though.  Mine is built on a Savage 110 action and I have pushed a little harder than I should have.  2300-2400 fps is not difficult though.  

 

I have pushed hard enough to see case flow.  I can see the tooling marks from the bolt face on the brass.  Not a good thing :stare:

15.0g or so should get you close to 2K fps.  DO NOT QUOTE ME ON THAT!  Dolomite has hard numbers from a chrono, IF he's willing to share.

Thanks I failed to mention they will more than likely be shot from me bolt gun.

You're in a great position then.  What kind of rifle is it, a 700?  

Obviously we should NEVER play outside the lines of published data but the bolt action will give you a generous safety net.  

 

You going to run a suppressor?  Making these subsonic [and accurate] should be easy peasy.  If you are going to run sub's I have load data for Accurate #5 for a .300 Whisper which for subs in a bolt gun would be perfectly fine interchanging.  #5 would be a great choice cuz you can feed it to your handguns too!

I'd have to dig out my data book but I remember shooting clover leaf groups with #5 and a 168g Amax @ 50 yards.  Gentle doesn't even begin to describe the recoil.  THey're a hoot!

16 grains of Lil'Gun works great for me.

 

I shoot them in both an AR and bolt gun.
