Here's half a dozen groups for your perusal. As I mentioned I wanted to try the gray TAC polymer lower. As I mentioned in another thread both my lowers have the BTE trigger in place with the special housing for polymer lowers. Three and a half pounds of nice crisp goodness for sure. Lots of guys think you need an eight ounce trigger for super groups and I do shoot one of those most of the time but I am here to say these work. All my shots were called well and there were no surprises today. The TAC lower is in perfect shape other than some oil from the BCG down in the lower. No cracks, no dents and no probelms. I am one happy camper. I shot some 150 Sierra Pro Hunters trying out some IMR 3031 and Lil'Gun. As I expected the 3031 wqas too slow and as nasty as the inside of a coal mine. The groups were OK but just not a viable choice. The Lil'Gun was interesting. With no good data to exptrapolate from I suspected it was not for the faint of heart. Speeds were pehenominal but with speed comes a price. The pressures were. excessive and I'll have to revist this one later. The rounds fed well from my magzines with no issues. So until next week I'll leave this to you. With that in mind the darling of the day really didn't surprise me much. Once again it showed me that Accurate knows its way around a mixing tank. I had the AA 2015 that has been super in some of my uber-accurate 223 loadings over the years and on this combination it showed up bright and shiny. The BHW barrel seem to do better when you start stepping up the speeds and this one showed it for me. Velocities were smoking on this one with a best accuracy/best speed for the day at 2441. If I get this one barreled up in a 20" tube that would give me a calculated velocity right on 2575 or so. A good solid 250 FPS over the deer killer supreme 30-30. This one may well make a trip to Minnesota next year if I get a chance. BHW intends to offer factory loaded ammunition this one and part of that development is finding what powders will perform in the rifle and be loadable on a commercial machine. We handloaders can trickle and long drop tube them but manufacturing quantities via commercial machines is out. This is what I managed. I think a better condition day would have helped but these are keepers. The best firearm for self defense? Any loaded one will do. I found the rifle ran 100% with all loads tested. I found the CCI primers were a tad faster but the groups appeared to open up a bit. I also determined that many powders make for a full case but some good powders left plenty of room for a bit of increase as my pressures were very good. Next up will be some 150's followed by the 110's and my favorite 130's. I found the 1200 R produced a decent group again that was sliding along at 2331. Speeds are out of my 16" barrel so that is not to shabby as it is exceeding slightly he 30-30 even at this pedestrian rate out of 4" less barrel according to Hornady. Went out Sunday and took the A-30 along to stretch its legs. I wanted a baseline on several powders and also to see if the primer choice made a difference in overall velocity and grouping. 27 different combinations were tried with nine powders. Nine of these I repeated with different primers giving me a total test batch of 36 distinctive loads. Regular primer used was the Remington 7 1/2 with the CCI 450's being used as a substitute primer in the nine loads. 125 Sierra Pro Hunters and formed FC brass were used. Velocities out of the 16" BHW barrel were anywhere from mild to a bit over 2600. I'm still waiting on the Holy Grail 1680 and RL7 powders. Originally Posted By BruceLeroy: I would like to point out the error in the OP however. This does not "beat the 6.8 or the 6.5 Grendel for a couple of hundred yards". Given the numbers and assuming a 125gr Sierra Pro Hunter was used, BC on that pill is .277 between 2000 and 2800fps. If we take the 2578fps mv at face value, you're looking at more energy within the 1st 100yds when compared with a 6.5 Grendel factory 123gr SST, which averages 2460fps from 16" barrels. At 50yds, you would have I think this could appeal to those who are in love with .30 bores in the AR15, who want more horsepower than the 300 BLK. It'll be an excellent deer woods gun with the 125-150 grain bullets and has the power to step out further than even I expected as we worked to develop it. It'll never be a bench rest cartridge as we have other ones that can carry the mail there. Posted: 2/7/2015 12:06:35 AM EDT I think another way to compare it would be to line up 7.62x39 123gr. 300 Whisper/BLK, and 7.62x40 Wilson Tactical. I'm actually loading up some subsonic ammunition for further testing and it's my understanding it will also be offered in the near future. They added the 1:7 twist as an option just for the voiced interests of several shooters we've talked with. What kind of speeds with a 150? Is the throat long enough to use a 2.3" COAL? It would be a good comparison to the 6.8 and 556 if it can hold almost as many rounds. More energy to target is almost always good. Originally Posted By Bowhntr6pt: 7.62x40 WT (16” barrel) Run the numbers on all 3 and you will see what I mean, and that's comparing factory loads to the stated loads above. It will still kill well within common hunting distances. I'm posting this up here until I can get a category arranged for the A-30. Four groups shot and three were sub-MOA. This is the best one using the Sierra 125 Pro Hunter at 2500 FPS out of my 16" tube just coasting along. I shot some 150's for sighters but five bullets is not exactly a test. I plan on shooting about two dozen 125 loads this weekend for some data on various powders. I know some will be too slow and some will be fine but I have to find out for my own. After this I will shoot some 150's and following that some 130's and 110's. Went out Sunday and took the A-30 along to stretch its legs.

Following the final design change a few barrels were made up to allow for pressure testing and actual range performance. Ritch is working the pressures and doing some load work ups for velocity as there are other projects in the works for this one. So far velocity numbers are excellent. He is getting up to 2800 with the 130's, 2850 on the 125's, 2950 on the 110's and found that 2500+ on the 150's is easy but we haven't settled on that one yet. I'm throwing in 2 live rounds of ammo so you can take dimensions / measurements and 152 pieces of brass that were my first attempt at reloading for this wildcat. November 28th all 721 shiny pokemon, 2014, 08:27 PM I just can't do normal. I'm always interested to hear about a new idea, so I tend to not look at the paracticality of a particular cal conversion as much as I should, but I DID end up going with the 300BLK over the 6.8 beacuse I had heard that it was more reliable and that the 6.8 bolts didn't last as long as a 5.56 bolt I also liked the fact that I could use the same 30 cal bullets that I use in other rifles. I also thought that the idea of commercial ammo for 300 would be a good thing. What I found out was that I didn't really like the commercial offerings, so I load my own (although I do like the availability of ready made brass). I'm getting 2,500+ FPS with 147gr bullets from my 18" 300BLK barrel. Can you tell me in way you have found the 30A to be superior to the BLK as far as ballistics go? I was trying to load 300BLK as hot as possible, and found that the case capacity was the limiting factor for me. I think that I'd like to try the 7.62 X 40 WT to see if the longer case gave enough of an increase in FPS to justify the change from the BLK. November 28th roulette bonus games, 2014, 05:01 PM
This is uncharted territory, Being a Wildcat and a new cartridge.

Join Date: Jun 2011 To me, having a AR-15 in a 30 caliber with more punch and projectile selection than 7.62X39 is worth it. Makes it better than my 6X45mm AR for deer and hogs. November 28th europeisk roulette marker, 2014, 06:46 PM The barrels have just become available and with AR15Armory and Black Friday discount nytt norsk casino king, I ordered an 18" barrel. Edited by SMACK ( 05/17/15 ) _________________________ BlackHole Weaponry case gauge for setting up the 30 Herrett dies required(Included) for loading the American 30 cartridge. As many of you know BHW has been working on the American 30 for about a year. following a few months of concept discussion We decided to use 30 Herrett dies and hold them off from the shell holder cartridge allowing for a large case capacity. I shot the rifle last weekend for a quick shakedown loading a load that I knew was safe but wanted to get my feet wet ASAP. I decided to try two different powder charges on the 125's using small, FC, and large, REM roulette spill lounge, primed cases for a velocity comparison. As expected the Remingtons ere a tad faster with the same powder charge. 30 cal AR market is getting crowded. What does it offer over the 300AAC?
