Oh, these were shot into Clear Ballistics 10% gel at about 15 feet. Penetrated the whole 16" block and caught in the rag box behind, so not sure about total penetration.

Just got to try some 20:1 alloy this week. This slug still zipped through the block but gave me more what I was looking for. Better wound channel,, plenty of penetration and 100% weight retention.....

Mp 311-140 at about 2000 from same 8.5" blackout. Small hp pins. Seated out to crimp just on the forward end of the grease groove. Feeds great and about 2-3" groups at 100.279321279321

Shot prairie dogs on a ranch when I was in college. He gave us permission to shoot in the pasture with the cows on the condition that we shoot any canine we saw. I asked him how I could identify...

Got this mold as a second from LBT. It's a 200 gr 38 Kieth swc. Had a small gouge in one of the lube grooves, and I never took a liking to it as I thought I...

Thanks. I like their selection. Right now I'm using the single pistol bulls because they fit my 1x red dot well. (Easy to center) and I'm shooting different bullets that have different points of...

I have been crimping with the Lee F.C die. I tend to crimp all the 300 blk ammo I load. I should probably test it without a crimp to see if the bullet jumps when fed from the magazine. I presume...

Had a little problem catching my bullets yesterday, so put some cinderblock behind the rag box . These NOE 153 HTC's at about 1800 fps went through the gel block, my rag box and broke the cinder...

I know us scientists aren't supposed to change more than one thing at a time but I tried killing two birds with one stone today. I tried some PB gas checks and tried reducing the load a little to...

I have the same question. I will be doing a initial test this week on that very bullet. Made a pretty basic checkmaker and think I might have dimensions narrowed down for the real setup.
Here's...
Forum: Gas Checks
Thanks for the information you have provided on the subject. I'd been looking for a design that was a fairly reasonable-to-make single stroke checkmaker. Your videos helped a lot. Are you still...

Gonna try some soon. Just did these this week. Seem to stay on pretty well. I can't get them off easily with a thumbnail. I'm going to keep them in the neck of the case just in case due to being...

Me too. Just loaded these and hope to do an initial test this week. Been PC'ing some supersonics for the 300 blackout and have not had any leading but noticed on some recovered bullets the bases...

Ha... maybe I should have put this check on a different bullet.....

So... first step complete. Punched .437 dia. Discs and formed them with a .312 die.261816
Seated base first, and they are staying put. Can't get them off with a fingernail..... enough to load...

I did notice some unburned powder and slightly dirtier cases with the 1680, but the 225 subs don't reliably lock back the bolt with 4227, h4198 or others I have tried. 1680 is reliable that way. ...
Forum: Gas Checks
It looks like the cutting along the leading edge of the super's rifling got all the way out to the front of the bullet. The pockets at the front of the crimp show there seems to be quite a bit of...

Here is a photo of an NOE 153 HTC through my blackout at 1700 fps. 50/50 ww/pure with 2% tin, air cooled. 16.5 grs 296 IIRC. Crimped where there is no crimp groove on the bullet. Notice the...

Some pistols have fluted chambers similar to the HK 91&93. Some examples would be a P7 or an MP5. There are others, I'm sure. Inspect it like any other. I load them. They are fine unlike the...

Here's the NOE 153. It fared a little worse, as we would expect.

Interesting, it seems there was gas cutting on the leading edge all the way along the rifling track in some places. I...

Hey there. I managed to take care of the "lead ring" problem by polishing the transition from the end of the chamber into the throat with some 1500 paper and a dowel. It was pretty sharp there...
