Howdy. I'm planning to put together an AR pistol in .300 blackout mostly as a toy and maybe bedside gun. I'm currently planning on an 8.5" barrel and using some of the lighter bullets, in the 110 grain to 130 grain range. I've been "talking" to GLShooter via PM and he gave me some good info but he hasn't done much work with the .300, so I'm throwing it out there for the rest of you fine folks to take a shot at, so to speak. So here we go:
What powder load for that bullet weight range? If you have some specific advice vis a vis amount of powder per bullet weight I'd be tickled to get it. Greg suggested 8208, CFE223 and RL10. I currently have 8208 and H110 on hand but I'm not dead set on using what I already have.
Where to buy bullets? Greg says Shooter's Pro Shop or Rocky Mountain Reloading, and again I'm open to advice.
What about poly coated hardcast lead? The company that I buy most of my cowboy action bullets from has 130 grain polycoated bullets that they say will work with either rifle or pistol powders.
Thanks in advance for any info I can get!
