hornaday 125 sst load for 300 blackout

[fender]

I got my best groups with 4227 and hdy 130gr sp. I did feel it was a little dirty though.

hey guys, do any of you crimp your rounds? and guys what is your best group size and at what distance? I am not seeing the accuracy that some are.

 

[straight-shooter]

I apply a very light crimp, just enough to straighten the case and .002 more. My average group is 1.2 moa only because I always seem to get one shot that spoils the sub group. I have had some sub groups also at 100 yards. So in short, 4 out of 5 shots creating a 4 leaf clover is very acceptable.

300 Black out doesn't seem to be the best choice for laser accuracy compared to other calibers but for deer hunting, it's more than enough to get the job done within a reasonable distance to assure a clean kill.

No crimp here. We haven't sit down and worked on a paper target grouping for a while. We run steel dingers at 50, 100 and 150yds. Orange marking paint to make them fresh. Various round 8", 6", 4", 3" then 1" 'piano keys'. Hitting a 1" piano key at 100 yrds is no problem. YMMV.

Bloodman- what load are you working up?
