Group was 1.8MOA (3 shots)

With the 208gr Amax is bang on out to 400m on steel, not that I would shoot an animal that far. It's nice to know the exact trajectory.

I'd like to see (from a distance) anyone loading 300 BLK supersonic with 208gr projectiles.

You could do it once with each rifle I suppose.

You would need at least a 308 or 30-06 to have enough velocity to get them to mushroom up.

I would like to try the Barnes blackout 110gr, the Americans rave about them but very expensive for knocking goats over. For me the Nosler 125gr BT has been a good all round performer on deer, pigs and goats. I don't really want to start running two lots of supersonic ammo as I am already got three lots of subsonic rounds.

I had a albolt made into a 300blk around 2 years ago,
Very accurate,has accounted for 1100+ headshot kangaroos last year alone.
Shots range from 60-400m
Cheep to reload
Had a break put on it to stop the muzzle wip thats it

What projectiles are you using? And are guys not aloud to use suppressors over there?

Im using 115 burgers 2205 powder 19gr
Br4 primers
As we can not sell carcass if its not been headshot i never worried about penetration or expantion.
Most accurate round for my little rifle.
Best thing about it is the size its very easy to move it around the ute.

No surpressers aloud in WA
You can now get them regersted in some eastern states but have been told its alot of effort

My mates 208gr amax load is supersonic at our gun range but sub at his house, wouldn't say its close to being a hot load, but he is aiming for sub. He even uses the 220gr SMK supersonic

10gr or somware round there will give ur 208 '1060 give or take.
Remember published loads are for semis and there piss week due to slam fires.
U can hot them up in a bolt so id agree with ur statement.
I only run 115s and had up to 20.5 gr of 2205 ( big compressed load )
No signs of pressure at all.
Ur better takeing the data from the wisper even tho its a wild cat round its well studied.
Its a great round once you get it working.

All fun and games until the gun breaks.

super
125gr SST, 18.3gr H110 OAL 2.1" 2180 fps
sub
Lehigh 168CF 9.5gr 2205 OAL 2.240" 1085 fps

Sierra 135 gr HP Varminter looks good for BLK too,
