This guide details troubleshooting bullet stabilization issues with .300 Blackout subsonic loads, specifically using 220gr Nosler Ballistic Tip bullets. It covers critical steps from measuring OAL and selecting appropriate powders like Hodgdon CFE BLK to diagnosing keyholing and analyzing bullet performance in ballistic gel. The expert instruction emphasizes methodical testing and component selection for achieving reliable results, even when initial attempts fail.

This video details the reloading process and range testing of 150-grain supersonic loads for the 300 Blackout cartridge using Hodgdon CFE BLK powder. The instructor, with extensive experience in 300 Blackout, demonstrates loading techniques for compressed charges and presents ballistics data from two different barrel lengths (8.5" SBR and 16" rifle). The testing focuses on accuracy and velocity, providing insights into the performance of CFE BLK with common 150-grain bullets.

This video tests the 200-grain Maker REX subsonic bullet in conjunction with Hodgdon CFE BLK powder. The focus is on evaluating the performance of this specific ammunition combination, likely for suppressed shooting applications, given the mention of "subsonic". Part 6 of a series suggests a deeper dive into the capabilities and characteristics of CFE BLK with various bullet weights and types.

This video details a comprehensive reloading and ballistics test of Hodgdon CFE BLK powder with heavy supersonic bullets (168gr Hornady A-MAX and 175gr Sierra Match King) in 300 Blackout. The instructor, with clear expertise in reloading and ballistics, demonstrates load development across a range of charge weights, emphasizing compressed loads and their impact on performance. The testing covers both an 8.5-inch SBR and a 16-inch rifle, providing detailed group size and velocity data for each configuration and bullet weight.

This video details the process of reloading lightweight supersonic 300 Blackout loads using Hodgdon CFE BLK powder. The instructor explores compressed loads with 110gr Hornady V-MAX and 125gr Nosler Ballistic Tip bullets, discusses challenges like bullet seating and case capacity limitations, and tests the ammunition in both an 8.5-inch SBR and a 16-inch rifle. The focus is on achieving accuracy with this powder, noting its excellent standard deviation numbers despite not being a top-tier velocity powder.

This video provides a comprehensive primer test for Hodgdon CFE BLK powder in 300 Blackout. The instructor, with significant reloading and ballistics testing experience, evaluates six different primers across subsonic and supersonic loads using both 8.5-inch and 16-inch barrels. The analysis includes detailed velocity, standard deviation, and group size data, offering insights into primer performance with this specific powder.
