    300 AAC Blackout Flame Thrower - Need Help!

    I thought powerbond.com, but the website is dead now. I bought them at TJ Conevera. I’m wondering now if Accura Outdoors picked them up?

    300 AAC Blackout Flame Thrower - Need Help!

    EPIPHANY..... I checked all of my load sources to determine how I came up with 14.7gr, which is well below all starting loads for 110gr and 125gr bullets. Then I went to my Stevespages.com account and found a potential answer...and a reminder of why we write down, print out, or highlight...

    300 AAC Blackout Flame Thrower - Need Help!

    I’m having a bit of a challenge actually finding loads for 120gr Powerbond. Every manual I find has loads for 110gr or 125gr, so I was flying by the seat, as they say. Thanks for the response. It looks like a small, 5 round group would be a smarter place to start, if I attempt H110 again...

    300 AAC Blackout Flame Thrower - Need Help!

    Yeah..I was involved in a few threads. Then got caught up developing pistol loads for my wife...finally got her into .380 ACP shooting, with a touch of soft 9s now and then. But I just built a new 7.5” AR pistol with my son...his first...and she insisted I take him out to shoot. I’ve missed my...

    300 AAC Blackout Flame Thrower - Need Help!

    Primers were fine, cases were fine, cases ejected normally...no excessive force/distance. I cleaned and resized/deprimed the cases last night and it took very little effort, as if the cases hadn’t been altered by the experience. These were Speer Nickel cases that I cut down for .300 Blackout...

    300 AAC Blackout Flame Thrower - Need Help!

    Okay .300 AAC Blackout loaders...I made up a box of rounds using 120gr Powerbond bullets, 14.7gr H110, S&B SRP, seated to 1.900”. They fired and cycled well through a new build 7.5” AR Pistol, as well as my previous 10.5” AR Pistol. Loaded from multiple magazines, shot well, bolt lock back every...

    Primed 40 S&W Cases - New Brass - Iffy Primers

    Brass rod, though many folks just use a cleaning rod. Depending on where the squib is you either push it out the muzzle, or back the other way and out the chamber. It doesn’t take a lot of effort. Onlinemetals.com carries brass round bar rod in nearly every imaginable “caliber”. Solid brass in...

    Primed 40 S&W Cases - New Brass - Iffy Primers

    Made it to the range to test out my first loads with this brass using the 135gr Sinterfire frangible bullets I recently bought on clearance. My first ladder...135gr Sinterfire frangible bullets with CFE-Pistol powder. It was an interesting experience, made all the worst as I don't have a...

    Primed 40 S&W Cases - New Brass - Iffy Primers

    Cases came in. Ran 150 through my expanding die, followed by the primer arm...none of them budged that I could detect. My hopes that some failures to ignite were due to high primers appears unfounded. I've loaded up a small 30 round ladder using my 135gr Sinterfire bullets and CFE-Pistol...

    Primed 40 S&W Cases - New Brass - Iffy Primers

    These primers work, or they don’t work. No one said anything about producing squibs. I’ve never had a squib that was caused by a bad primer. I have had factory ammo cause squibs due to lack of powder. Nonetheless, once you’ve removed one squib load, though not fun, removing any others is hardly...

    Primed 40 S&W Cases - New Brass - Iffy Primers

    Came across a possible deal that comes with a caveat. https://www.evergladesammo.com/brass/40-cal-new-primed-brass-clearance-1000ct.html The brass is new, the primers are installed, the primers may be 90% effective. With a primer there's no way to know which may be defective. Everglades...

    Factory Mags for My EMP 40S&W Finally Shipped

    Was particularly good to see that the 8rd factory 40 S&W magazines for my EMP shipped on Friday. I couldn’t resist placing an order through the website and take advantage of the 90 window for special pricing when registering a new firearm. However, I didn’t expect it to take 3 months. Well as...

    To Reload Or Not To Reload, That Is The Question

    Well, not nearly accurate. I can’t tell you the 10s of 1000s of Berry’s .356 9mm projectiles I’ve loaded. And Hornady’s 125gr HAP 9mm bullets are .356, to give just one jacketed example. So yes, it’s quite possible, even likely that his 147gr projectiles were different.

    Lead 124g rn are all heavy

    SAAMI spec for projectiles says....send ‘em back. Far outside of tolerance. Your 124gr lead projectiles should weigh no greater than 125.86gr. That’s 1.5% above nominal 124gr weight. TOLERANCE – BULLET WEIGHT 1. Lead and lead-core bullets: Less than 100 grains...

    911 vs. Hellcat

    I’ve about convinced myself that I need to get a 911 9mm. I love my 911s in 380 ACP, and recently added the Viridian green laser grips, so it still fits perfectly in the same holster. I’d imagine the 9mm version would have the same feel, and shoot as accurately. I’d probably get a decent trade...

    135gr 40S&W Frangible Bullets (Sinterfire) - First Shots

    I’m ready to move on to other powders for these 135gr Sinterfire projectiles. Got out and shot my latest proof rounds with Universal shooting 4.8gr at 1.135” COL, and 5.0gr at 1.140” COL, both with CCI 500 primers. Based on previous testing using 4.8gr Universal at 1.140”, recoil and full...

    135gr 40S&W Frangible Bullets (Sinterfire) - First Shots

    Thanks for the feedback. It’s a fun project... Here’s where I got the idea that this could make good self-defense ammo. If it wasn’t selling at Cheaper Than Dirt, price gouges in chief, I’d buy a box just to find out what’s inside. More importantly, what the C.O.L. is in factory ammo. “Never...

    135gr 40S&W Frangible Bullets (Sinterfire) - First Shots

    So far we have 3 people testing loads for this bullet. Its profile is the lightest bullet for 40 S&W (also 10mm) while also the longest projectiles for this caliber. Comparing the published load data for Sinterfire's 125gr Frangible bullets shows them working will utilizing 165gr plated bullet...

    Places to sell reloading components

    I have dies for .458 SOCOM. No bullets, and no empty cases. What do you need to get out of them for me to be a potential buyer? On the other hand, maybe you just want to buy my dies? Be happy to continue this via PM.
