No need to say any more !
I've thought about that too.. I've got a multi-cal lower that I could build one
SKS or a bolt in 7.62x39
I'm gonna have to try some raptors but likely not til at least next season. All my gear is setup for the 110 gr TacTX. And I just won't have time this year to load any and change up. @Michael458 Do you have a preferred powder? I've been using Lil Gun in .300BLK, when I don't just shoot factory ammo.Indeed, this is a very true statement.............While I do not hunt deer, and retired from other hunting for a few years now, I load and shoot 300 BLK quite a bit, and we designed a serious bullet for it, mentioned above the 100 FB Raptor from CEB. Its just plain WICKED........ it is very popular with some of my friends throughout the country and very popular especially with the kids. I have a friend who's 10 year old has taken deer, alligator, and even a large black bear with 300 BLK and the 100 FB Raptor with extreme success........ and there are many many others that have been successful with it as well....... I have not one report where anyone had to trail or have a big followup, all the reports I have have been DRT on the spot. Even the black bear was DRT.............
I don't do subsonic in 300 BLK. The load I use with the 100 Raptors runs the bullet at 2550 fps in most all 16 inch guns, 10.5 inch guns run 2370-2390 fps.........
I see someone mentioned the 110 Barnes TAC, this is also a very good bullet. While I don't have any of my folks that have used it in the field reporting back, it tests very good here, and I would not hesitate to recommend it as well. I don't think its as good as the 100 Raptor for extreme terminal performance, but its still a very good bullet, and most of the time easily available.
Below is the 100 Raptor without Talon Tips loaded in 30/30, with 300 BLK and 308 Winchester alongside also loaded with 100 Raptors that are Talon Tipped.............
Indeed I do..... WW 296. I also have pressure data, keep all 300 BLK to less than 55000 PSI, with very very few exceptions. Your Barnes TAC is a favorite of mine as well, I don't have it elevated to Raptor Status, but it takes a close #2 seat at the table. With almost all my 300 BLK firearms, the 110 Barnes TAC load and my 100 FB Raptor load are the same, or close enough POI at 50 yards that one is not concerned about changing sight in...... I run 19.5/WW 296 with the 110 Barnes TAC at 2380 to 2405 fps in 16 inch guns, this is one of my exceptions, at 56000 PSI. Even 19.3-19.4 would bring it down to 55000 I am sure. Early tests with this bullet gave some lower results at 19.5 WW 296 conducted in 2016.
I'm a fan. Have a Rossi 92 and an H&R single shot.
I bought one to hunt suppressed, haven’t shot it yet.View attachment 370657
Yes it's probably overkill but I've been looking at these. 450 Bushmaster - which is really designed to shoot out of an AR. They are a 200yd round at most. SD is terrible because of the large caliber and light bullet weight, but would take an Elk at 50yds. They baically shoot 45 handgun bullets (bullets, not rounds).

I've got a sandman S 30 cal can coming in, so I was gonna get something that it was compatible with. I've got 3 stripped multi-cal lowers, that I could use to build one, but don't mind a bolt action either. Thank you all for the suggestions!
Pops and one of my cousins had Marlins in 35 Rem. Those rifles put a lot of deer and hog in the freezer.
You've got a short lever 44 that is suppressed, don't you? Did you Form 1 a can or go commercial?
Thanks for linking that thread. Lots of good info.
I do. While that is not a common 308 Winchester powder, and it is hateful because of the burn rate changes from one canister to the next, causing me to have to blend many pounds together making a batch.... it still is my choice because of the variety of 308s I shoot. It simply performs best across the board with the lighter 100 Raptors and shorter barrels that I run on some guns.............If I was running one or two 308 rifles, then I have better loads that I could tailor to that particular rifle, but running several different guns is a different story.......... RL 7 just happens do meet those needs...........
