For those who may be curious, I formed and loaded some 300 supersonic rounds today. LC brass was cut to length on the lathe, verified with a height gage, and then prepped on a CaseMate. Using Hodgden's starting load for 110gr Nosler BT bullets, H110 powder, and magnum primers, I had great success with these trial loads. Every charge was weighed at 18.8 grains. I was focused on function and safety today since essentially all the parts on this rifle are new. I had excellent feeding, sufficient energy to drive the bolt, no auto fire (whew!), and consistent bolt lock back with the final round in the magazines. All spent brass ended up within a very small pile. No signs of over pressure in the brass or the primers. All in all, the rifle functioned perfectly. The one negative today was that the case mouths were slightly deformed during ejection by the upper's case deflector - easy enough to fix with a small piece of self-adhesive Velcro on the deflector.
Now, on to the important stuff: This rifle is incredibly fun to shoot. Recoil is light and the round is not nearly as loud as my Armalite in .223. I can't wait to try some subsonics with a 220 grain bullet, and eventually a suppressor. In my opinion, the 300 Blackout round is a winner.
