I spent all day yesterday working on subsonic .300blk loads. Found an inexpensive one that works for my AR pistol Inquiring minds want to know!  180gr SP pulls from American Reloading($0.14/ea) 12.8gr Shooters World Blackout Powder Wolf SR primer COAL 2.100 8.5" PSA Stainless with a Suppressed Armament Systems Reaper It's somewhere between 1-1.5moa. Plenty good enough for the amount of money they cost to put together

I walked in, looked around and said “dang, I don’t have a press... so I ordered one... here’s to hoping I don’t blow my rifle or face up
I quit culling when I realized I was a cull

Mike's in Hartselle is where I got the powder. Pretty sure I've seen it in Shooters Warehouse also.
Shot this load again today just to verify results. It's GTG in my 8.5". Time to load up all the brass I have.

![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/DD3wjG3.jpg) A little trigger therapy yesterday. This was 130 Nosler BT out of my 270WSM. Actually had another shot in the same area before i reset the screen. Just made 5 up to see what they did and dang good for a first group. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/a9e9RWs.jpg) This was 145 g Eldx i worked up and this was the best group.

Loaded up 100 380 acp's with some 90 gr. Speer Gold Dots. Seated them to .974 over 3.1 grains of BE. Pop'ed one in the mag and snapped the slide and chambered just fine. So I taper crimped them all and then decided I would load up the magazine and upon loading round #2 knew Houston had a problem. COAL was too long for the magazine. Didn't have a issue with one cause the nose isn't buried inside the mag housing, Ugly. So I ended up just having to nudge them down to a COAL of .965 and all is well. Let that be a lesson on auto loaders, make sure action will go to battery, but at the same time be sure the overall length will work inside the magazine. Sometimes it's easy to forget the simplest of things.

Sometimes it's easy to forget the simplest of things. Case gauges are your friend. True, they are nice to have, but in this case they would not have made any difference I don't think. Speer's manual gave me a max oal of I think .984 and I had a minimum oal from Alliant of .970, which is where I seated them at initially to see if the slide would go to battery which it did. I really did not want to seat them much below the information provided by Alliant, and when I first found out that they were having a nose problem in the Browning model 10/71 I tried them in a Bersa 380 I have and no problem in that magazine at all. I guess the mag on the Browning is just a very tight fit. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/PJxgfJbW/2019-05-16-18-32-59-Alliant-Powder-Reloader-s-Guide.png)

Couldn’t sleep last night so I went to the bench prepped cases and loaded up some different charges and lengths to play with in the 6.5. Hoping I can go test them out this weekend

treemydog,
Those are very nice looking 243 rounds. What are you shooting them out of? And what are you using for optics?

treemydog,
Those are very nice looking 243 rounds. What are you shooting them out of? And what are you using for optics? I running them through a factory rem 700, varmint sps, 26" bull barrel, with an upgraded stock. I have a vortex 4x16x44 hs on it. That recipe will cloverleaf at 100 yds, if I hold her steady, and is fairly accurate at 1000 and 1250. Those sizzling 107s make my 308 trajectory look like a mortar round at longer range. People scoff at a 243, but it's a heck of a long range round and I've stumbled onto a great combo with this particular rifle.

I have a 243 I picked up many years ago from a shop I was working at when I first started getting into the sporting goods industry. It is a good shooter and I've never had any issues with it, but I have not spent a lot of time working on loads other than to have two accurate loads for it, one for 85 grain, and another for 105. I just might have to find the time to spend more time seeing just what this little 6mm is capable of doing.
