Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 300 Black Out in a bolt rifle?

There once was a man from Nantucket....GFY

Hopefully he had enough sense to own a .17 Remington and HMR.

BD,

I've punched my pecker every time it showed a sign of wood and I still haven't made it laugh like that.

I'll keep trying.

Merry Christmas,
Dave

Wind kills the .17 HMR. BTDT.
They are a bitch to clean as well.

Heading out in the a.m. to the hill country for a few days of culling.
Will take the BO to stunt shoot some does and report back.
This particular rifle is attached to the only Leupold I own so fingers crossed...

Determination opens the door to a bright future.

A prosperous New Year to you and the Clan.

I'm thinking 208gr A-Max but we'll see. Still waiting on the thumbs up from the ATF.

Grizzly with a BO sub...
Is your will up to date? Urn picked out?
Thinking you won't need a casket cause a pile a bear schitt don't take up much space.

Good luck.

The less Texans the better.

Good luck.

I swear Kamo Gari finds his way into EVERY thread.

Pondering the imponderables, couple of thoughts, no charge.

.40 caliber, 350 grains of pure lead at 200 yards, MV 1100 fps. First three in the 25 and 24 ring, #3 at 12 O'clock. My spotter went to the head after that and I found out about wind in Wyoming and just how chitt hot my spotter was.



Anyway, I dunno know much about twiddlin' knobs, not much cause for that here in the swamps. I don't think the drop is that much of an issue at those velocities and distance, but the wind is a serious player.

Second issue goes to a comment earlier about pistol cartridges and bullets that expand at such velocities. Pure lead will do that as will most any alloy of lead and tin. Pretty sure that jacketed bullets might be handicapped in that regard, but I don't have a lot of experience with such things. Somewhat related is the matter of twist rates and bullet style. Soft lead does evil stuff at modest velocities.



A fella can make a lead bullet go fairly fast in a fast twist barrel, but the fit needs to be good and the alloy hard. Maybe a fella can hit the gold ring with soft alloy in an 8 twist .30 caliber, but I'm not holding my breath on that. The contraption I'm shooting was intended for a cast bullet of 180 grains (30:1) from the get go. 12" twist seems to do the trick. Little bit of expansion can mitigate slightly less than perfect placement, but I doubt a fella will find that at 200 yards with a 200+ grain jacketed bullet. Of course the bullet might tumble...



I got a Leupold scope myself. Don't be ashamed of them. When I get the load finalized I'll be putting a Millett SP-1 in its place.

I dunno, the guy is unstoppable! Relentless even.

Where is Rodney Dangerfield when you need him, hey?

BD

I dont think so.
why spend the the money on 300 BO when you can get 762x39 for next to nothing and have almost same ballistics as 300 shooting 125s.
That a right, you need to have 223 parent case and ego boost.

Point me to a few "next to nothing" bolts in 7.62x39 with threaded barrels.

I am not a Texan. Just living here for a spell.

I would actually agree with flave. Waaaaay too many people here. I'd like it more if there were less of them.....especially the ones that have come from way south the last couple of years.

I was talking about cheap ammo

The old 7.62x39 is the round all my enemies should be armed with.
