wanted .300 factory made cases

[hobbesy]

As above don't want cases made from .223/5.56 because of variences in the cases webs may be causing issues with accuracy.

Thanks

Factory .300BLK brass is non-existent over here. Pretty small supply in the US too.. (I looked when I was there earlier on this year..all over the place!)

This.

What kind of accuracy are you expecting/getting and with what load?

If you cannot find BLK brass get some 221 fireball brass, much nicer to expand and shoot than trimmed and necked 223brass.

Try Gun-Tec Shobdon Herefordshire. They had some .300BLK Lapua brass in stock last week.

I use once fired Lake City, very consistent indeed.

In fact I've not had any accuracy problems no matter what cases I've used, it's a boringly accurate round to shoot :)

Where do you shoot? I should come down and borrow ( ) some of your home loads and see if it's me or the rile that has the accuracy problems I'm getting 7-8 inch groups at 25 meters which I think should be better.

I'm using 5.5 gns Unique and Home made bullets at 168gn (I think, I'd have to check my load data)

Cheers for all the replies

Jesus Christ!

I'd be suicidal if mine did that!

I've used a variety of bullets and powders, for full loads 168gr Nosler Custom Competition over 15gr of Hodgdon H110, gave around 1800fps and even with my little 1.5-5x20 scope gave me under 3" at 100yds.

For indoor stuff (sub-sonic) I use 3.4gr of Viht N310 and a 115gr cast rounf nose flat point at around 1050fps or a 165gr over 3.7gr, either of those will do under 1/2" at 25m, anything over that is down to me :)

Mines a single shot Advance Armaments version of the NEF HandiRifle, 16" barrel and about a 5-1/2Lb trigger so that doesn't help matters but it breaks very cleanly.

If you're anywhere near Durham you're more than welcome to try it out or I can send you some Lake City cases to try if you want but unless someone has made a really bad job of forming them I don't think your cases will be the problem.

And I can send you some bullets to try as well if you want them :)
