Reloading Club Eastbay

[ivanimal]

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.

I think after this most of our meets and classes will be on weekends.

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.

We will discuss the 300 as I recently began experimenting myself. I tried 3 of the powders listed.

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.

Same thinking I had!

I'm in the Livermore area. I'm in. Please keep me posted.

Everything will be here in this thread or this forum.

Interested in the club, although I can't make the 9/4 meet-up due to work in the South Bay.

[G-Man WC]

See you tonight Ivan. PM me if it's a no go.

Damn, I want an East Bay club. Can I get a 2lb wooden one? The steel ones tend to spark too much when seating bimetal jacketed bullets.

Yo Big Sexy, East Bay Clubs are made from Stainless so they don't corrode...

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?

Better change your id to "More Than One Step Behind"

They have Beer @ Fuddruckers...I'll come to provide Comic Relief...

It was great to meet you guys, I am looking forward to seeing you at our next meeting.

[uechikid]

I hope the next one is not on a week night. Really sorry I wasn't able to make it. I would have love to meet some of the members here. Hopefully next time.

[krzgoat]

Yeah sorry I didn't make it as well - early night during the week are a no go for me since I have meetings until late. Hope the next one is either later in the week or on a weekend.

Nice meeting some of you folks tonight. Sorry I got there to late for the greet part. Traffic woes and Ivan forgot to give out name tags again. Until we can get
down to the real business at hand, I can't stress enough picking up components along the way as you find them available. A pound of powder here, 1K primers there, you get the picture.
If you have questions on caliber specific powders or components, ask away here.
In this climate, your not going to loose out and can always trade down the road.
We had a few people in attendance tonight who are more than capable and can take you from clueless to confident in one afternoon.
I read reloading books for 15 plus years before getting started. I thought it was rocket science, It's not. Follow the rules and you'll be fine.

I missed this one but would like to attend one in the future. I live in Benicia and just picked up a XL650 and am looking for parts and knowledge to complete it. Could use all the help I can get.

I am close by pm me for help if you need it now.

Vallejo gun how tomorrow and Sunday. Good prices on primers when I went in July.

I need large rifle primers and certain powders but not sure I can go. Gotta get there early. Few guys got there so early they parked for free cuz no one was there yet haha!

[Motor Man]

How early do you have to get there to beat the parking fee?
