How to Reload 300 AAC Blackout Ammo For Beginners 

Hello Don Ewing! Appreciate the positive feedback! I’ve pinned your comment! 👍🏻

@SeargentLargent - appreciate the comment! 👍🏻

@4here2there - really appreciate the comment! More to come! 👍🏻

@jesseflores7790 - appreciate the comment! 👍🏻

@hookeaires6637 - Great feedback! I can tell where you are in your reloading journey with this comment. Over time you become "one" with that lever. I know when I have a bad case once it hits the mouth of the die. It's either going to glide like warm butter over hot pancakes or it will bury itself like a Tennessee wood tick into the die. Love your comment. Hope you stick around for more!

C ELOWSKI - appreciate your comment! 👍🏻

Glad it was helpful! 👍🏻

Appreciate the comment! 👍🏻

Glad you found this video helpful! 👍🏻

165 is pretty heavy for supersonic 300BLK. Won’t get a lot of velocity. It works best with 110-125 grain bullets.

Love the Z max! Time to hunt zombies!!! 👍🏻

Glad it was helpful! 👍🏻

@Mm-ik9uq - thanks for the feedback! 👍🏻

Well, what’s it mean? Small base. Thx

@00000012345 - small base is used for rifle cases. It is typically used for semi auto rifles. You can get away with full length dies. For me I have had good luck with small base dies. Some will say it shortens the life of the case. Hope this explains it for you. 👍🏻

@@k2defense Thank you very much, appreciate the info.

Thanks! 👍🏻

You bet! 👍🏻

Hey @nathant3897 - really it wouldn’t hurt but as far as accuracy, that’s a great question. For me I don’t think I’d add that as another cleaning or as a third cleaning. Once to knock off and dirt so it doesn’t get into your resizing die, and once after you resize, trim, debur, etc. does that make sense? Wish I could give you a solid answer as far as accuracy. Maybe one of our competition shooters will chime in and give us their thoughts. Hope this helps! 👍🏻

Bill - I use RCBS lube and lube pad. I avoid one shot with all of the stories out there. With bottle neck cases I lube the lower third of the case. If it starts to squeak or hard to resize I may spray the necks with slick spray. To date, I’ve never had a stuck case using this process. Funny story, I made a video on how to remove a stuck case. I didn’t lube the case at all in order to get one to stick. I reload a ton a .223/5.56 on my single stage press. Hope this helps. 👍🏻

Try Unique case lube. Lasts forever too. I've been on the same tub for almost 5 years

Hello @dansheets7200! #4 bushing, it should’ve come with the kit? Let me know if you have any additional questions!

@@k2defense thanks!

Hello johnleidorf! Here is the website! inlinefabrication.com

Simplest way is to seat and crimp separately. When you do both steps together, this sometimes happens depending on how much crimp you’re applying. Hope this helps! 👍🏻

@Qlife007 - what type of resizing die are you using? Do you cam over when resizing? Are you checking your shells with a chamber case length gauge? I would start by using the case length gauge. I’ll add a link for the 300 BLK gauge. I’m thinking you probably need to dial your die down to bump the shoulders like you mentioned. Let us know how it goes. Thanks for the comment! 👍🏻 amzn.to/43iNkcH

Hi Jeff Merz! It is a bullet seating and crimp die. The first step is to seat the bullet to the appropriate depth. Once you have that set, I set the crimp. Then you can bullet seat and crimp at the same time. Please watch my bullet seating and crimp die video for further explanation! 👍🏻

Sorry to hear this is happening to you. Here is my recommendation. Lube the lower third of the case with your choice of lube. I use RCBS case lube with the roll mat. I don’t show it in this video, but I also use Lyman quick slick spray lube inside the case mouth. Seems a bit much but I’ve never had a stuck case since doing it this way. I’m guessing the cases you’re getting stuck are probably LC brass as they are a bit thicker. One other thing to check is your case trim length. Are the cases you’re having issues with converted from .223/5.56? Or are they factory 300 BLK cases? Since you’re using steel dies, do you set it with cam over? We’ll get this figure out for you! 👍🏻

@@k2defense My cases were bought through once fired brass or Diamond k I don’t remember. The case lengths within max case length. I use Hornady one shot spray lube I also sprayed inside the die. The die is brand new! The set up says to have the decap rod stick down .400 or 3/8 which is where I set it. I do a slight cam over as well. I sent RCBS an email as well. I do appreciate you taking time to answer my questions. BTW the brass has been wet tumbled and dried as well.

@rockyroad8561 - couple of things, you can set your decapping pin so it extends 3/16” below the end of the die. Try that first. Secondly, try using lube instead of the Hornady One Shot. I’ve heard from some folks that it doesn’t do well. I’ve tried it and had mixed results. I stick with RCBS case lube using a roller mat for the bottom third of the case. This is where the majority of the expansion is with these cases. You can use the One Shot in the case mouth if needed. I’ve never had a stuck case using this method of lubing including setting the decapping pin to 3/16” instead of 3/8”. You may have it set too deep. You shouldn’t need to spray the inside of the die for any reason except to clean it. Can’t hurt to try to try my method. Maybe this will resolve your issue. Let us know how things turn out! 👍🏻

@@k2defense Will do thanks I’ll keep you posted

@@k2defense Looks like I had everything right except my lube process! Thanks for your help Sir!

@mohammedcohen - thank you for sharing your reloading information! Appreciate the comment! 👍🏻

Hello @shermanwilliams3315! I do not size the 223/556 brass before putting the cases through the trimmer. It would be an added step to the process that’s not necessary. Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any question! That’s what this channel is all about! Happy reloading!

@@k2defense but you are using used 223/556 brass to begin with?

@@BCSANFAM I use both 300 BLK and .223/5.56 (modified) brass.

@zikiflx - We do not sell firearms or reloading components.

Awesome! It works well! 👍🏻

Hello jjlowhz! 300 AAC Blackout is the official designation for .300 Blackout. 300 BLK is the colloquial acronym for .300 AAC Blackout. I’m guessing that when people post their videos they look for the most common searched term and name it by that name. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for the question!

Danny Pierce - welcome to the world of reloading! 😂👍🏻

It's an investment

@suckafreeboss - for those new to reloading, I’d suggest starting with this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-euZl_mPOEkQ.htmlsi=VNJ3yTVBCUsE9lTr Hope this video helps you in your journey! 👍🏻
