[QUOTE="TAFKAP, post: 4245471, member: 7776"] I'm working with a guy at work on reloading both matched weight rounds for hunting, and relatively consistent rounds for plinking. He's pretty well practiced at reloading his own .223 & .308 stuff, but hasn't ever stepped out into other "recipes". I'm looking for some pointers from the reloading folks on here, so I'd appreciate your input on some recipe development. I'm shooting a .300 Blackout. For many various reasons, I haven't been satisfied with the polymer tipped rounds (of any caliber). I've shot the Barnes VOR-TX 110gr, and I just wasn't pleased with them, and I don't think I am as good of a shooter with low mass/high velocity rounds. Typically I'd prefer a heavier bullet, and was pleased with the Remington 130gr "Hog Hammer" round, shooting the hollow-tipped Barnes TSX bullet. The Barnes recipe book for .300 AAC Blackout only shows 2 rounds, 110 (not happening) and 120gr (seems a little light). So, what input might you have for a recipe using a 130gr Barnes TSX using IMR4227 powder? For the 120gr bullet, Barnes specifies max/min charges of 16.5gr/17.5gr H110 powder. What stuff should we consider in developing a recipe for my rifle? [/QUOTE]
