    300aac blk light bullet loads


    Got a new barrel yesterday, 16.5" 8 twist 300blk. Can't decide which action to screw it on, the rifle or the striker.
    Found plenty of brass premade from a vendor, need headspace tools to get started. Recoil should be mild for either frame.
    Planning to have the smith turn down a thread protector to take a barrel band front sight, or may reduce the dia to a straight no taper.

    Anyone shooting lighter grain bullets on theirs? What would you recommend?

    Got it from a member on 300 blacktalk site in classifieds. He had 4 last week, two are gone. This one is a Simarms barrel, Devin makes good stuff. Price was right too. There was one other available from a different ad. Get all my .223, .221fb, and 300blk brass once fired lake city from there, grumpa in AZ. I need a set of head space gauges.

    The barrel really fits the rifle stock well.
