I’ve been on a 5.56/223 to 300blk brass producing kick lately. I have acquired at least 6-7 thousand pieces of brass over the years. After weeks of wearing out my little midway tumbler, sorting out the cases with the right wall thickness, chopping and forming, I have about a thousand of them.
Anyway all this work to feed my 10.5” pistol got me thinking. I have a t/c pro hunter muzzleloader, it’s got some trigger work and a oversized hung pin, why don’t I find a threaded barrel to shoot mouse fart quiet blackout loads in? My omega 300 should be in my hands within the next millennium.
My pet sub load is 10.9gr of IMR4227 under a 210gr Sierra matchking. That isn’t my blasting load but that’s what shoots the best I’m my pistol. I’m thinking with a longer barrel I would have to reduce that a bit to stay under the sound barrier but I could build some decent accuracy from that platform.
Only problem is everywhere I look the barrels are sold out. I would of figured that would be a smart move from tc to be churning them out with 300blk/suppressed crowds but apparently not. I did find a mgm barrel for it in stock but they are pretty steep. Begara seems to have limited production runs but I hav’nt seen them anywhere, not even on gun broker. Not really wanting to go custom, I guess this impulsive new quest will get shelved for right now.
Opinions or advice would be appreciated.
