I do handload, and am about to trade AndyC a spare shooting mat for a set of .300 BLK dies. In the above video, the first 5 shots were supersonic 125 grain Hornady SSTs. The second 5 shots were 220 grain Hornady A-MAXs. Both loads were purchased from Stand 1 Armory in Dallas. As far as accuracy goes, it was so-so for both cartridges, but mainly because I was shooting at unmagnified Aimpoint Micro at 50 yards, and I have crappy eyesight. I'm sure it would be better if I either added a magnifier or mounted a variable power optic appropriate to the cartridge.

Speaking of optics, I absolutely love the Aimpoint for close-in stuff, but I'm going to have to pick up a magnified optic if I want to use this SBR for hunting, 'cause it's not fair to the game otherwise. The problem is that I know of no low-variable-power scope with a BDC reticle calibrated to the .300 BLK cartridge, so I'm going to have to get one with a MRAD or MOA type reticle.

Edited to add: Ok, I now know of such scopes, and YOWZA!!! That hurts, if you want a decent one.

Now, how to convince SWSBO.......
