Quoted:
For $1.15 a pop that’s close to .300 pricing. View Quote As time goes on, it will go down dramatically. If it goes to half the cost of 300BO I'll probably never fire that round again. I have guns that do everything 300BO does now. If 9x39 is made both super and sub for less than ANY loading of 300, I'll sell it all. Factory rounds, reloading dies, upper. |

I have no update on the Wolf uppers/barrels. Still waiting to hear.
Last I knew they were optimizing the gas port location. Wolf has ammo for sale. Ammunition prices will start high and drop, like the Grendel did, as volume picks up. I have a 9x39mm AK coming, but can't announce the manufacturer yet. AR barrel will be coming from a different manufacturer in a week or so. All I have at the moment. |

Reloading possibilities:
Some 3D printed plugs could be made to fire form plain brass 7.62x39 A swage die can bump 357 soft point and hollow point up to the needed size slugs can be found 158-180gr. This technique could be applied to 35 Rem and other off the shelf 36 cal bullets. 35 Remington mold designs can be machined oversize by mold makers using a CNC lathe to cut the cavities. Someone could mold up some plastic sabot carriers and load 8mm rifle bullets. It will be a long road to cheap and easy ammo - but a reloader will get there before the masses. |

i still want to see the video but i dont facespace. can someone post it? anyone have ideas on cost per rnd once it hits the market for real? i have two 300bo guns and a lot of subs but its .50/rnd

Quoted: You'll probably have to use 6.5 Grendel brass, this stuff has .02" less taper than 7.62x39 and doesn't neck down as soon but other than that you're right View Quote |

Remember 5 or 6 years ago when everyone said 300BO would come down to 20-30 cents per round once it got popular enough, and then it never did? I expect the same thing to happen here. You can get one reloading out of spent steel cases, so that would help the cost issue quite a bit if you're willing to put in the time. That is, assuming someone starts making 9x39 dies and publishing load data...... View Quote YES - it works fine and I've reloaded thousands of steel 223 and 45 ACP cases. I get 2 to 3 loadings out of 223 cases; the .45 ACP, just one or two. BUT - 9x39 is probably so low pressure that I suspect you could get 1/2 dozen loadings from Russian steel cases. 2 problems though: 9mm isn't 9mm in the 9x39mm. It is 9.25mm IIRC (is that correct OP?). I could not find commercially avalable bullets in that diameter - and certainly not ones available and suitable for the caliber, and Not all Russian cases are Boxer primed. Due to sanctions on Russian, we no longer get Wolf primers, and Wolf Berdan-type primers look like a pipe dream at this point. |

I converted 7.62x39mm steel cases to Boxer primed 6.5mm Grendel and got 5 loadings out of them.
But why not just use brass case 7.62x39mm and form them. Should last a long time. 6.5mm Grendel steel case started off high then as demand picked up it dropped hard. Russians like to make things in volume. The more you order the cheaper it gets. |

View Quote I'm pretty sure Wolf is going to flood the market with it just like they have with every other offering. And a 9x39 AK you say? Is there going to be a review in a specific publication that I should look for and buy to get the lowdown on this beast? Because I'm sure you know that it's a quick and easy jump from a 9x39 AK pattern rifle to an OTs14 Thunder which just happens to be one of my grail guns. |

I've read about converting berdan Yugo 7.62x54R brass to boxer by drilling out the old primer but leaving its outer wall still crimped to the brass as a bushing that holds the new primer; and then drilling a new central flash hole. If it turns out that 5 or 6 loadings are possible with 9x39 steel cases, it may be worthwhile to do that conversion and use boxer primers. Thoughts? |

So: Yes I have Barrels, Yes I have ammo and yes I have suppressors. Oh yea - we have put them all together.
Some changes are being made to the barrels as a result of testing issues. The integral runs nicely and is very quiet. The screw on suppressor is nice also but not as quiet. We are doing some final testing and will be ready to take orders very soon. Here is a link to an interview: http://www.recoilweb.com/recoiltv-nra-2018-piedmont-cartridge-catahoula-rifle-137030.html We are working with Wolf who is manufacturing the barrels. |

I'm soooooo tempted. I have a yearning to build something new and get in on the ground floor on it's arrival if the 10 uses a car gas system, I have Adams arms piston kit that can go on it, and make a very nice piston driven setup.
Even if it gets a regular gas tube, I have all the parts except the bolt right now. decisions decisions... |

Magazines:
The AR 7.62x39 magazine work well if you only load 20. Lancer 5.56 magazine work well, again only load 20. We are working on a dedicated magazine but it will be a while. |
