Now wildcat reloading I don't recommend. That's for professionals who have experience necking down a .243 case into a .22 or .17 caliber to get a hi velocity varmint round. Many of these type wildcat rounds later became popular over the counter manufactured loads. |

Your other option is to buy and use a cutting jig. And the case wall must be a certain thickness, and I've been told a number of times that ordinary calipers won't do the job. You'll need something called a tube micrometer (think that's the right term). After all of that, then you can neck down the case. I read this article concerning rolling your own .300 BO brass years ago and decided I wasn't all that interested in owning a rifle chambered in .300 BO at the time: http://www.massreloading.com/300BLK.html |

You're talking about just buying .300BO cases. Which I already addressed earlier. The issue is cost.
I was addressing the idea of actually making your own .300BO cases from .223 rem cases to keep costs down, which requires multiple extra steps. Steps I wouldn't advise a relatively new reloader to attempt. Last edited by Megatron96; 07-09-2020 at 10:51 PM.. |

But if you wanna go the .223 to .300 acc black you micrometer calipers a trimming tool and saw. The video below is a beginner with some ecconomical solutions to the saw and trimmer. Get better dial calipers than his. Stay away from that win ball powder its dirty damn shit. Stick with Hodgdon or IMR. |

And as a short-range plinker it probably would do just fine, so long as you're okay with the increased cost of ammo. As a truck gun it would probably be close to ideal. |

Finished my 80% lower this morning. Time consuming but nowhere near as hard as I thought it would be.

PSA is still sold out of basically every upper receiver minus 10.5" and I don't want to have my dog executed by the ATF.
Anyone got any other recommendations? I'd like to finish it asap. |
