I have been following this like others, especially since 95% of my ammo (except .22) are reloads. Just guessing but think most times there are a chain of errors involved. Wrong ammo (300 Blk in 5.56) dirt or squib or both, wrong headspace plus dirt, etc. wrong powder for that application...

Something else, The 300 Blk is a SAMMI listed round as opposed to the Whisper which is a Wildcat round. Generally speaking, barrel manufacturers are required to stay within SAMMI specs for barrel and chamber. Not necessarily so with a Wildcat round. There are a lot of people out there...

I have 4 off these and love them. As mentioned, the best super loads are in the 110-125 gr range. Most expanding point bullets need 1,800 fps or faster at the target. There are a few listed on a forum specifically for the 300 BLK rifle that expand at less than 1,000 fps. There is a wealth of...

Since I reload, I've found Federal to have the softest, most likely to shoot primers. If I can get them at the same price as others I use them. I bought 10k each small pistol and small rifle, 5k large pistol and 5k large rifle primers during the great reloading component shortage a few years...

I don't usually post but have to put in my 2 cents on this. I think plastic (injected moulded striker fired) guns are cheaper to make than steel revolvers or reinforced aluminum. A lot of the younger crowd is use to the throw-away mentality and want cheap instead of quality. Gun...
