Talk me into or out of 300blk...

[300AAC-hoghunter]

I gotta kinda disagree there. Suppressing the 5.56 is not NEAR as quiet as a 300blk subsonic suppressed round. Its REALLY quiet. Thats the only use I can see for it though. Plus the upside is many 9mm cans allow you to suppress 300blk subs. So you dont have to spend the cheese on another can.

Your right thats the only benifit of this round. Load development on the other hand for a sub 200-240gr bullet that cycles and feeds reliably is a royal pain.

300blk is also an excellent choice for a SBR.

I would know nothing about that. Wish I had to the time to reload and because of my ammo addiction I cant afford oddball calibers.

I think it was the carbine lenth gas system in my aac upper that made it so hard for me, but it was a pain

Bottom line is if ya wanna be "trendy and tacticool" go with the 300. 10 years from now the 7.62X39 will still be here waitin for ya...lol

No its not, any AAC upper wil so it, my franken upper did it. It's a problem created by companies who didn't create the proper port size, kind of like the myth of inaccuracy was created by Savage using a 1:12 barrel.

Reliance on the inferior is pretty normal in firearms.
