Looking for the perfect reload (bullet)
I finally saw a big deer. It was green
and pulling a chisel plow. Not want
ing bother the fanner and not want
ing him to bother me, I headed on back
home. That was OK because what I really
wanted to do was shoot the black rifle. I
gve testing reloads.
gj Forming 300 AAC Blackout brass from
.223 was harder than advertised. Each
casing mouth has to be deburred and
chamfered after the initial cutting and
again after trimming. My left thumb and
forefinger were rubbed raw from holding
the chamfer/debur tool. I had the casing
in a holder made for the purpose and the
holder chucked in a cordless drill. Cham
fering is done on the inside of the case
mouth deburring is on the outside. This
whole process goes like this. Cut case
with a die grinder, clean up the inside and
:
outside of the mouth. Lube the
case and run it through the re
size die. Use a case trimmer to
trim to correct length. Chamfer/
debur again, then into the tum
bler for cleaning and polishing.
Now they are ready for prim
ers. 1 did about 100. It takes a
while.
After all the case prep, I load
ed 15 cases, three each with
different amounts of 2400 pow
der, 14gr, 14.5gr, 15gr, 15.5gr
and 16gr. The idea is to find the
sweet load. I’m using Nosler 110
Do It Outdoors
Wade Betts
Grain Varmageddon bullets. The Nosler’s
Varmageddon line is made for the high
volume shooter, like someone out west
shooting prairie dogs. I’m using them
because they are relatively inexpensive
and should make dramatic ex
plosions on water filled milk
jugs. The 15.5 grains of powder
gave me a one-inch group at 50
yards. I might fine-tune the load
by loading some more in 1/10
grain increments. But for right
now I’m happy. Keep in mind
that it’s me doing the shooting
and I’m using a red dot sight. A
real scope and a real shooter
would yield tighter groups.
Angles are measured in de
grees and each degree is di
vided into 60 minutes. Minute
of angle accuracy is 1” at 100 yards, 2”
at 200 and so on. To understand minute
of angle, imagine a straight line extend
ing from the shooters eye to the target
100 yards away. Now think about another
straight line that extends from the shoot
ers eye to a spot 1” away from the end
of the first line. The angle created will be
1/60 of a degree. As the two lines continue
the distance between the far ends of the
lines will be greater, but the angle will re
main the same. Most scope adjustments
are A14 minute of angle for each click or
mark, four clicks should move the point
of impact 1” at 100 yards.
I am, for the most part, happy with min
ute of milk jug or minute of deer marks
manship and or accuracy. Real shooters
want minute of angle groups.
I would continue the geometry les
son, but to tell the truth I’m bored with it
myself and besides I’ve got to load some
more Blackout ammo, go shoot a milk
jug and make a video. Be safe and do it
outdoors.
