It does well to 150 yards supersonic
It does well suppressed subsonic
If you already have a 223 to convert its a no brainer
As stated, if you reload, you can convert 223 brass to 300 blk
And have a cheap plinking round
If you continue to shoot 300blk and 223, you need to mark the mags.
Kabooms have already been documented with wrong ammo, wrong gun
If you dont reload, you are in a pickle, because the much hyped, low cost ammo is not available, and hasnt been for many months
Some people claim it to be a 300 yards gun...... Its not
There are much better choices for out to 300 plus yards, especially if you hunt
I am also amazed that one of the 300 blk founders has the ability and time to troll EVERY forum in north America touting the 300.
Much arguing........
Its a good option. No reason to trash every other caliber made.
For me, as a hunter, I researched the heck out of the 6.8 and 300blk, I compared the best
Bullet I could find from the 300BLK and the best bullets for the 6.8.
Using the common hunting rule of thumb for minimum ft/lbs of 1000, I found the best bullet of
The 300 blk dropped below 1000ft lbs at 128 yards.
The bullet I hunt with, the Hornady 120 SST 6.8 drops below 1000 ft/lbs at 274 yards.
A little over double the distance, if you use this rule of thumb.
I chose the 6.8
However
If I didnt hunt, AND reloaded the 300 BLK would be a great choice for plinking
As the 223 brass is literally laying on outdoor ranges everywhere.
(I picked up at least 100 pcs this weekend)
The 6.8 brass is a 30 cents to 55 cents apiece
I may be looking at the 300 blk in the future
