I'm so torn over doing another mini or doing something with an MRE. Especially since I have an unexpected optic coming my way.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Eyekahn: What Barrel length and velocity are you getting with that SST? I haven’t spent time trying to reload supers in a few years. I’ve got some lil gun and I’d like to find a reasonably fast and accurate super load to take advantage of a magnified optic on the 300. I've got some blackout loading to do before my next range trip, but inshallah i can find some diffuser screens for my buddy's chrono I could probably set it up and get some velocity. I don't shoot the blackout unsuppressed. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ArmedFerret: 10.5; no idea on velocity. I go for accuracy, not as concerned with speed (especially from an SBR). The scope has a BDC type reticle that actually surprisingly works *REALLY* well for both supers and subs. Took a doe with a subsonic (CNS) at 74 yards, another doe and a button buck with 125 Nosler Ballistic Tips (same load as the SST) this year. The CNS shot dropped instantly obviously; the NBT supersonic harvests went about 20-30 yards and piled up. Lungs were absolutely liquified on both. no bullet recovery; golf ball exit wounds on both. I've got some blackout loading to do before my next range trip, but inshallah i can find some diffuser screens for my buddy's chrono I could probably set it up and get some velocity. I don't shoot the blackout unsuppressed. |

Found this pic of the doe I got with supers outta the blackout. Her front teeth were the only ones she had left. I'm incredibly fortunate in that I have a friend who does wildlife control on a lot of county and state property, so we have the ability to fill the freezer (and by that i mean the entire chest freezer is completely full) every year. I'm repaying by getting him some hog access in TX when I'm down there in March.
