.300 Whisper progress

[ds762]

Looks like a good set-up. My question is have you fired the upper? I tried PMags in my whisper .. and they wont feed due to the built in "lip" at the very front of the mag. Not trying to rain your parade .. but I think you are going to need some GI mags.

I have a couple hundred rounds though it. It is awsome

I got Pmags because they DO work. I have tons of GI 20's and they would NOT work for me. The edge of the brass would hit the edge of the mag and not feed at all. I tried several with the same results.

I am shooting the 220gr Hornady RN bullets in mine.

The Dremel is your friend

Not that I am not a fan of the Dremel why Dremel something that works just fine?

That is a nice looking set up. I use the 30 rnd Pmags in mine without an issue.

Its about time you got your 300 whisper done
I shoot the 220 grn rnose bullets too because its cheaper and they feed
fine with the magpul mags without mods.

Here is somes balistics for the 300 whisper using 220 and 240 grn bullets, as you can see the bullet drop for the match bullets isnt much diference than the Round nose and 270 grn cast lead is close to the same.

Thanks for the chart. I have been getting more of my time back for me over the last couple of months. With that I now have more time for working on my projects.

How do you feel about shooting the 270gr cast bullets though a suppressor? I have read over and over that you should not do it. I did just get a start on casting stuff, got everything but moulds.
