Thread: Tried out my .300/.221 today.....

I finally got to load up some 220gr Seirra Pro Hunters for my SBR today. I only tried three rounds to see how the rifle would do. All three shots went off great and locked the BCG back on an empty magazine


How do these primers look?

the middle has a half moon mark -looks like the priming tool was not centered.
are the primers crimped--why?

Primers look fine but thats the last thing to worry about. May want to crony them to be sure there subsonic but 9.4g N110 should be under 1050fps

I didn't have it centered on that one. I was using LC military brass that I swaged.

I'm looking to order one next week.....I shot my old one

That shore sounds like a sweet gun....
Can't wait to see the pictures....

I got a chance to try it out again last night. This time I had my 7.62 YHM Phantom on the rifle and it was VERY quiet!


I need to get a new chrony so I can check the speed.

Thank you Ron for the quaility barrel and gas system

Cool vid, Jack.

Me and Cap shot it again yesterday after we shot the 45/70. I let him shoot it while I was standing back away from him and it sounds very quiet.
