      6.5 Grendel Subsonics-Clue Me In?

      You wouldn’t see me shoot a subsonic 6.5 at any range, that’s not “it’s game” so to speak. Might be worth plugging in some numbers to see difference between the two and what setting a speed limit does to trajectory as well as get a better idea of what would be a “useable range” for each. If we...

      6.5 Grendel Subsonics-Clue Me In?

      If you shoot suppressed a couple feet per second makes all the difference in the world. Point being that a bullet designed for much higher speeds like most say 220 grain .308 bullets ran subsonic isn’t going to do anything a much cheaper 230gn 45 ACP bullet of similar design at usable ranges...

      This is the reloading forum though ;).

      6.5 Grendel Subsonics-Clue Me In?

      Lots of my 45 ACP loads are subsonic, I have played with 300 blk subs too but the 45 ACP and 9mm heavy sub loads do everything it can do at short ranges at a lower cost. I have hunted quite a bit with 400+ grain subsonic loads with a 458, they will spin a hog around fore sure. I never messed...

      not exactly a reloading question

      The charge weight will be very close. Just pull the heaviest and lightest rounds and weight the charges. Next weigh the bullets, they too will be close. Now weigh the cases and you will see where the majority of the difference comes from.

      Cheap primer tube filler

      That’s how it came out of the plastic.

      Dillon 1050???

      I have a few, I automated my 9mm one years ago before anyone sold anything like it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrFhnDQ-eUU Came across a smoking deal on a Mark 7 pro 1050 in .223 awhile that’s a nice setup as well. They certainly minimize any time concerns. I can load ammunition for a...

      Cheap primer tube filler

      These go on sale from time to time, paid $25 for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WTZ-_v6Mks

      88gr 300blk

      Agreed, just load heavy for .223 bullets at that point.

      Automated brass sorter by weight

      By caliber was a lot easier for me as a “mechanical” guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFw7IcQUmgs

      Automated brass sorter by weight

      I haven’t had much time to play with this, built the electronics part, did the programming and threw together the mechanical parts months ago. It’s still a long way from being a finished product but it’s also one of those projects that can get lost do to “life getting in the way” if I don’t see...

      Sources for Subsonic Load Data

      For subsonic .223’s I just get a 22 LR and call it done. In 308 trailboss is the powder and 11 grains with my cast and coated 150 grain bullets make for good backyard plinkers. Lots of different loads for the 300 blk, just look for heavy bullet load data. Never tried a subsonic 6.5...

      competition ammo

      I have shot many thousands of plated 147 RN @ 1.160” with 3.2 grains of titegroup, makes minor and runs in just about everything.

      competition ammo

      USPSA and IDPA I shoot “heavy” bullets with “fast” powder in everything except compensated pistols where I use lighter bullets with “slow” powder.

      powder tricklers

      I have a couple of the 1500’s, it would be nice if they gave you information on the parameter settings. I really don’t like the self zero that they do. I don’t like things changing on their own without me knowing. It would be nice to turn off that “feature”. This is what I am talking about...

      9x19 carbine ammo question

      Haha, you are not telling me anything I haven’t already found out. I was right where you are now, trying to get results out of something that wasn’t going to give me what I wanted. Just trying to save you the same frustration.
