You might have to wait a bit to get an answer. He hasn’t been around for well over a year.This is probably a dumb question, but I was wondering what you BHN is on your bullets?

Are you powder coating your bullets? If I powder coat then rounds won’t chamber????

I have a lot of IMR 4227 and it works well in the 300BO.16 gr is where I started.

IMR 4227 is one of my accuracy loads with a 147/150 Jacketed bullet.
@Outpost75 would have some insight on the LEE bullet specifically. I don't know if I have it bookmarked or not (have to look), but I remember a post or article he wrote about two of them, one of which (both?) I think he designed?
My best friend's boy has the 300 BLK I was shooting several years ago, but I have a young friend who just got a SBR'd AR and a can, so I will be dredging 300 BLK files once again. I don't think he understands that I am hinting at not just hand-loading for it, but casting for it also. It'll be a long wait, but once my can gets here and he shoots it with cast bullets (and suffers the monetary pain of buying factory for ten months), he'll be a believer. I won't waste my breath trying to convince him with words. He'll SEE it and thus BELIEVE it.

I have VERY little imr4227 but I do have cfe blk, lil gun and accurate 1680.
I think it best to powder coat bullets for rifle use but the Lee 155g and the Lee 160g will not chamber in my Anderson Mfg AR. It hits the rifeling before it’s fully seated in the chamber. “Just” fits if only alox coated.
Suggestions?
Get a different 160g mold?
Thanks

Surprisingly a 25 yd 0 is good at 50 and is dead on at 100 in my little fun gun. The 230s are cruising along about 1050 for me with H110 pushing them. Groups about 3-4 inch at 100 with the red dot. Not a super precise optic.

I loaded up 100 Saturday with LEE 230 (I modified removing boat tail) on top of 10.5 & 12g of aa1680.
I met a buddy. We each brought 3 300 BO forearms. We covered 8.5-16" M&R & Bolt guns. One pistol was not reliably with 10.5 but good W/12g other four cycled & Locked both loads. Worst accuracy was 5" @ 50 rest hovered around 1-1.5".
HUGE change for me as this bullet as LEE made it tumbled in all my guns horribly. Now, after removing boat tail, never.
Too cold for chrony and no silencers. Just fun shoot and break in/first shots from a AR Pistol.
