I'm interested in finding out more about reloading, but don't have equipment or anything. Are you guys going to be running any clinics or letting a noob watch how it's done?

[echo884]

Interested. I'm in the Tri-valley. I'll try to come, but traffic is going to suck coming up the 680.

I would be appreciative. What powders can you use with it? I have pretty much standardized on either 4064, 4895, or rl15 for rifles and bullseye for pistol. Can I use one of those or am I looking at a new powder investment?

For 300 AAC Blackout people mostly seem to use magnum pistol powders or some that are marketed for shotguns. You need a powder in a fairly narrow speed range. Fast for a rifle powder but not crazy fast. H110 seems to be a favorite. I know 4895 is too slow.

If you do a search like "4064 300 blackout" and just scan what comes up 4064 is maybe marginal and too slow.

Apparently bullseye is actually *too* fast.

In addition to the H110 I have some notes that people also like AA1680, IMR 4198, IMR 4227.

I live in Concord, am new to reloading and just set up my first press (a Lee classic turret). I will try to come to the meeting at Fudruckers.

I will try to make it, but middle of the week stuff is hard for me with work. I typically don't get off until 6ish.

Thanks for the info. I have an AR set up for 5.56, but I'm currently putting together a SPRish build as well. Once done, I probably will convert the existing 16" carbine build to .300 AAC as my next project. I hate to have two rifles in the same caliber, I feel like I am wasting an opportunity to be shooting/reloading something new.
