    You ever find someone to load for you? Ive started reloading for mine and its pretty easy. If yall don't hear from me Sunday afternoon its because I blew myself up at the range that morning. :)

    I happened to be reloading 300BLK as well and thought it was funny the difference in case size

    If you make it up this way you're more than welcome to use my stuff. I'd load em for you but I'm not sure how I feel about the liability if there were an accident.

    I've been told that one needs a manufacturing license to load ammo for someone else--even just a few rounds.

    Need to do some research on cast bullets for cheaper plinking. These hornadys aren't exactly cheap.

    Well everything went bang and shot well but I think Ive got a sprained wrist lol. Those 300gr FTXs pack and damn punch, especially the hotter loads that have over twice the powder my 300BLK loads. Once I get a few more under my belt and get a bit more comfortable with them if you haven't found someone Ill load some up for you. You need to start looking for bullets and H110 though. Primers aren't too hard to find but H110 hasn't been the easiest and it goes quick if youre wanting hot loads with lighter bullets(like the FTX with 50grs of powder). Im not a good enough of an iron sight shot to tell the difference accuracy wise but they shot well at 50 yards for me(4") which is about what I was able to do with HSM loads. I need a scope for load development to get the most out of hand loading accuracy.

    I've got a 1050 setup for 500S&W right now you can use, but I'm in the Austin area too. What are you missing to load?
