Checked out the current listing from LiveLife on the “Where are there....” thread. All of my favorite sources for projectiles are “Out of Stock”. No handgun, no rifle. So I went checking out new providers, and found that TJ Converera is packed with projectiles. I mean...everything is in stock.
My Tuesday order of 1000 - 30 cal 120gr Powerbond Bullets arrived yesterday! Are you kidding me? Never have received a shipment from ANY provider that quickly. And certainly, not during this lockdown.
So...has anyone used this particular bullet in 300 Blackout? That’s my intended use, which is 100% plinking, and as necessary home defense. So...nothing more than 20 yards at this point, and purely recreational shooting.
I can find 110gr, 115gr, and 125gr loads for 300 Blk. But absolutely nothing for this weight. It looks like this would make a really nice (read “cheap”) plinker. I intend to use a variety of powders for testing....I have VV N110, VV N120, IMR 4198, IMR 4227, CFE-Blk, H-110, A1680.
I dummied up 2 rounds seated to 1.900” and tested for manual functioning. I’ve never loaded anything this short and wanted to be sure it picked up from the magazine, chambered, and ejected via charging handle. It was flawless. I even rode the charging handle down, and one hit on the assist button dropped it right in place. So it would appear that the projectile will run.
Load ideas welcome. PM also welcome for anyone uncomfortable posting public load data.
