Over last couple of months acquired 16 " barreled AR with 1 in 7 twist rifling. Never loaded for 300 Blackout before. Just tried two handloads (14.9 grs. 296, 150 gr, Hornady 150 gr. FMC, Starline Brass, WSR primer) and (16.4 grs. 296, 125 gr. Hornady 125 gr. FMC, Starline Brass, WSR primer). Both loads out of Hornady Manual. Both loads were accurate but based on recoil seemed pretty anemic compared to factory rounds (Winchester 150 gr. Deer Hunter XP). Haven't had a chance to chronograph yet. Fired cases drop back in to a case length gauge as if they were new sized brass.
What are some of your recipes using 296 (or any other powders) with 125 and 150 grain bullets? I have IMR 4227 and LiL'Gun on hand also. Not really interested in Sub-sonic loads at this time.
