You're using a sanding/grinding blade which has a thicker kerf (width of the blade). You need to use the metal cutting blades with teeth (3 pack for $10 at Harbor Freight). You'll get the trim length you need. Also, as someone who has converted thousands of brass to 300BLK, resize first then cut. It's much easier to get square-ish, then I use a universal case trimmer then chamfer and debur.

As someone who has converted over 5k LC 556 to 300 Blk for my own use and tried almost everything, here's my thoughts: 1. I'd be super nervous about using an abrasive blade for this. The likelihood you get a piece of grit in your sizing die and score it is way too high, IMO. 2. Us a fine tooth blade on the saw and don't be too shy about the rate that you feed the blade in. Too slow and you're likely to spin the case, too fast and you stall the blade. In the middle is a nice moderate speed that starts quickly and cuts reasonably clean. Burrs are to be expected, but they shouldn't be terrible most of the time. If the case spins easily when cutting, try giving the ball detent a 1/4 turn tighter. 3. I don't think I've ever seen a great group from 300Blk with a 110 V-max. I'm sure with some tweaks you'll get the groups to shrink a little, but don't feel bad if you're never really happy with the accuracy. It's not you. 4. My go to general purpose bullet is the speed 125 TNT, they're cheap'ish and offer more expansion and velocity than the 150 FMJBT that often used in budget loads. 5. The 150 Speer gold dot can get amazing accuracy. Can't wait to see what you get them to do. I really want to buy some, but they've been out of stock everywhere for forever. 6. You might consider annealing the case mouth since you remove almost all of the 556 annealing when you convert. If accuracy is your main goal, the improved neck tension consistency could make it worth the effort.

My partner uses the Speer 125s for plinking with her FAL. They've been really hard to come by as you say, but recently she found a couple boxes of the hornady 125gr JHP for a reasonable price at her local gun store. Have you used them, and what do you think of them? Also inre to annealing, would you do that after cutting and trimming but before necking down? And if one's only choice was to use an abrasive blade, do you think tumbling overnight with walnut would sufficiently reduce the risk of getting a piece of grit in your sizing die? Whatabout tumbling with some other medium, or wet washing?
@daphoosa
2 жыл бұрын
@@chironchangnoi I have not used the 125 JHP, but I'll keep my eyes open for them. I usually buy the 125 TNT in the 500x box online, which I stocked up on before the recent craze, so I've been ok. I currently use a powered trim on top of a sizing die (Whidden) when I convert from 556 to to 300Blk (no chop saw needed). So essentially I am annealing after conversion sizing and trim to final length. In my opinion this is essential as the necking operation produces a lot of work hardening that the annealing process resolves to provide the proper neck elasticity. Once I go to reload, I will still run them through a sizing die (Hornady) before loading to insure headspace is consistent. Considering Harbor freight sells 3-packs of 100tooth blades for $10, I don't see any reason to ever use an abrasive blade. My chop saw is a slightly larger version made by HF that I bought a high tooth count blade off of eBay for $15. That blade has converted a couple thousand cases and is still in great shape. I suppose walnut tumbling after an abrasive saw would be better than nothing, but once abrasive grit is in the process, it hard to ever be 100% sure it will never be a problem. It would be possible for the abrasive to embed in the brass such that walnut doesn't break it free, but it's probably a low likelihood.

With the SD style, you slide the case up to a hard mechanical stop, and it allows enough room the hold it with a finger.

I think this sequence produces more uniform results.

I never even considered the abrasive fiber blades, as the RPM's on the the little saw is no where a dremel's speed. I started with a squirrel daddy 300blk jig, got a elite3d design for HAM'R and now have one for 300blk as well. I went to a local papajohns and asked for a few pizza boxes, I set the saw in the box and have an oil drip/catch pan from dollar tree, if you swirl the thing the necks stand right up, grab handfuls and go to town. I can easily do 1k in 1hr. When I'm done I take all of the choppin`s and dump them in the scrap brass bucket. Wet tumble for 30min to knock de-burr before running them through my dies. Because if you don't you will smear brass inside your dies and have a hell of a time getting it out. (Redding actually has a whole write up on smearing brass inside your dies on their site) With carbide dies you don't even need lube for 300BLK (HAM'R YES), use a rotary trimmer (WCT, WFT, RT1500) Dry tumble to polish and again it'll knock off any burrs.. With a quality trimmer you won't need to worry about chamfering/de-burring by hand.

The case length not being uniform enough. The seating depth not being tuned to where the lands start. The primers not igniting the powder properly. Well that is all i could think of. What could it be? Wrong shooting posture? It can be a lot of things, i dont know what is up. You have to rule out the variables from the equation. It should shoot straight and better than 2 MOA.

Could just reload and shoot 556. All this seems like a lot of work for not a lot of reward. I’ve been seeing a LOT OF 300 blkout at my local academy store.

The problem with your group was more than likely your powder changes and type of crimp. step down that powder charge by 3 grains and use a factory style crimp. That should tighten up your group with the ZMax if that doesn’t work try using a standard small rifle primer with the same 3 grain reduced load.

That jig is a joke. It's all on the jig. Squirrel Daddy has made a good one that is totally adjustable and works great. BTW there are a list of cases that don't do well for converting because the case walls are too thick one of them is PMC. You can't even get them reliable with neck turning. I did that and still had rounds not ejecting or feeding because of the necks being too thick. If one sticks to U.S. manufactured brass, they should be OK to convert. Nice video as usual but no way should anyone invest in that jig you used.

Where are you at that season is almost over?? Hell! Come to my house, I’ll let you take a couple! Our season runs till Jan 2nd! My district also has a3 a day bag limit. No license required on private land! Our bucks average 200/225lbs. That’s AVERAGE. I’ve taken much larger! Edit... Private Land ends on the 7th

Sorry, wouldn't putting the shell in the jig, then measuring the distance to where the blade needs to fall, have been more economical? Great information though!

Late to the game here but if you turn on the saw and put bees wax on the death wheel it'll stop the brass from loading up the disc.

Do you have problems with passing or failing a Guage block if you do not anneal? The shoulder often moves down the case with fire forging if you don't anneal.

I wouldn't be surprised if your gas gun does not like weak/anemic charge weights for accuracy & velocity SD. I'm curious how much better accuracy is achieved if you load them according to data gathered from an optimal charge weight test finding the highest stable accuracy note at the upper end of the charge weights.

Do not use a cutoff wheel lil that one. Instead use the saw blade HF sells. These saw blades are made for metal and well cut brass very well and not leave that huge burr you are dealing with.

Be careful with that Alliant 300 MP, there are several lots that are very very hot, there are also a few that are mild. Alliant refuses to acknowledge the hot lots, although I have the professional test data that shows they are hot.

What i do is i form it first with the 300 sizing die without the expander in it just to get my shoulder so when i i cut it i dont have to guess as much where i need to set my jig. Now that i just leave it clamped in the saw i dont have to guess at all. But for me forming it first speeds thing up and eliminates a step cause i tumble my brass then lube it size it then cut it and a quick tumble to clean the lube off it. So for me it just makes things easier and faster forming it then cutting it. Takes alot of guessing out of the equation
