300blacker's

hey guys, just ordered a couple hundred lapua 100gr bullets for the 300blk. should I just stick to my usual 300 powders? I have h110, lil gun and my fav imr4227. but I have never loaded such a light round, are there better alternatives? maybe something faster. 8.5" barrel. let me know if you have loaded these rounds and what your experience was. I am pretty excited about them, should be able to get to an honorable speed.

I use 4227 for 125gr Sierras and it works just fine. I'd try it out first and go from there.

I find H110/W296 to give me the highest velocity in the 110-125gn bullets over 4227.

I was able to get 4227 pretty easy during the "dry" times so ive shot it a bunch. Just dont get the upper vel that H110 will get me

For 100gn bullets and looking to drive em fast....go H110

okay, I have all those powders, just wondering if something slower would work with such a small round. I will go through the data and see which yields me the highest velocity. I didn't know they made such small and long 308 rounds, these might be a better option for long-distance with the 300blk

hey guys, I just received my 100gr lapua cutting edge bullets, and they are some nice looking bullets....but I cant find any data

I can work off the 110gr v-max data, but was wondering if you guys had any published data. I also got the speer 150gr hot cores, which I have plenty of 150gr data, but if anyone has a pet load for them, I would appreciate it. thanks!!

I have h110, 4227 and lil gun. I would prefer to use the lil gun beause I don't like it in my subs, but ill take any data with those powders.
