I have a 7.62x39 bolt gun built on a Turk K Kale mauser action, like it a lot. While 300BLK is close to 7.62x39 performance I wonder if 300BLK bolt gun would be a good idea. I don't hunt, don't shoot long distance, so I don't need another powerful round while I have a few 308s already. I just like bigger holes on paper! 300BLK brass can be converted from cheap and abundant 223 brass, 7.62x39 brass or brass case ammo is expensive. I reload so I don't buy 300BLK ammo. I heard Savage abandoned 300BLK because it is not up to the accuracy expectation. I have a 300BLK AR and it is not as accurate, with 125 gr Speer TNT, as my 223 ARs. I only shoot in supersonic. I think fast burning powder in 300BLK may have an effect on accuracy. Anyone has experience with 300BLK bolt gun accuracy? I likely only shoot supersonic within 100 yds. My home built 308 heavy barrel bolt gun built on mauser action can put 168 gr in one hole and not sensitive to load, so are my 223 bolt guns and my home built 7.62x39 bolt gun is not far behind. Wonder if I should consider a 300BLK bolt gun. If not accurate or difficult to load to accuracy, I won't bother.
I know some folks would say 300BLK only make sense if subsonic, I may play with some subsonic but most likely supersonic, we can leave subsonic out!
