Made some 300 subs

DaemonAssassin · Oct 19, 2015

I never realized how small of a quantity of 9.0gr of Lil' Gun was! It barely created a full layer in my powder scale pan!

BTW:
220gr SMK
9.0gr Lil' Gun
Barnes 300BLK brass
CCI SRM primers

Should be interesting to see the look on my dad's face when he shoots the subs at 100 yards, with a scope that is zeroed for 110gr VMax's.

That's almost as invisible as 5.5 grains of Unique at the bottom of a .45 Long Colt case.

Probably 18" lower at least lol.

I'm going to work up some subs this winter as well.

Running a 16" barrel w/pistol gas.

Nothing like smaller doses of pistol powder

Not yet. Need to do that in WV, after deer season.

What made you go with the 220 SMK vs the 208 SST?

Because reasons.

Also it was kinda hard to say no at the price I was getting them at.

Thought that would be the easiest way to say it. But seriously, I have pills for 30 cal and 224 coming out of my freaking ears.

Well if you ever need to un-burden yourself... :brows:

That reminds me, I have to link up with him after I get a bunch of 45 boolits and load those with him. I'm the evil genius that convinced him into getting a 550.

How are you set up with a press Speed? Progressive or SS?

BTW, you know where I live... :innocent0

Speed3 · Oct 20, 2015

I have a SS press, Forster as I only load for rifle at the moment. I did pick up a lee turret press for 9 and 45 but haven't set it up yet.

9gr with 220gr bullet sounds a bit light. I use 11.3 on lehigh 198gr. And get about 1080 fps. Is that a book load recipe?

If you feel like running some off on a progressive, drop me a PM.

Check this out from Hodgdon.

I've loaded lots of subs with Lil'gun. 9gr won't cycle my pistol, but 10 will. I normally run 10.5-11gr for these (seems to be sweet spot). Mine are so consistent I can put a 5 gal bucket on the ground to catch every single case.

These won't be accurate much beyond 50yds, but they are very quiet.

220gr cast/powdercoated bullet is what I use for subs for 300 BLK.
