Enforcer by Ramshot for 300-221
Hello Quarterbore,
I've been reading up on 300-221 (.300 Whisper) on the site. Thanks for all the great information! I am putting together my first AR pistol and am starting on case and load development while waiting for all the parts for the build.
Has anyone tried or seen data using Enforcer powder by Ramshot for 300-221 subsonic loads with 220 to 240 gr bullets? I will contact Ramshot as well, but just thought I would check here too.
I will be starting with a 16" barrel with a YHM 7.62 phantom (gas opperation either in car or pistol position). I currently shoot 7mm-08 subsonics out of my 15" Encore pistol using 162 grain bullets and trailboss (extremely quiet). I took two doe this year with that set up, but would like to shoot a heavier bullet with the availability of faster follow up shots (I understand the AR will be louder with the cycle action and gas bleed).
I don't think there is enough volume in the 300-221 case to use trailboss (anyone try it?). I have a few pounds of Enforcer for my .44 mag, but since I started shooting suppressed loads the revolver has been spending alot of time on the shelf.
If I can't find data on Enforcer I will just go with a known "safe" load for now and pick up whatever powder is reported to provide the best results and seems most available (I don't like taking the time to develop a load and then have a hard time locating more powder). It sounds like it can be difficult at first to just get the AR to cycle consistently (without trying to experiement with new loads at the same time).
Looking forward to any information you can share,
Thanks,
J
