300 Blackout Cases
Quote from Reloader on July 4, 2016, 12:40 amHi everyone,
I am thinking (boy that gets me in trouble) of picking up a 300 Blackout AR. I was looking at what it will cost me to outfit my 650 for it. Its a lot! I have the 1500 case trimmer and was thinking of doing it in stages. I would need to spend some time converting some 223 brass to 300 Blackout brass. My question (you were hoping I would get to it I know) is can I use the caliber conversion kit I have for the 223 as I feed it into the press to trim and form them to the 300 Blackout? This way all I thing I need to buy for this part would be the new trim die for my 1500 trimmer (wow those are 170$). I do not think the case would feed into the press again after its trimmed with the 223 parts but it would allow me to work on trimming a few hundred cases and case some bullets.Thank you for any reply's you send my way.
