I'll take that bet. How about a "cold drink" to the winner?I would predict that in 5 years we'll look back at the 300 Blackout as a failed experiment by a private conglomerate to create a new and popular ammo standard.

A few issues with the x39. One, it is not designed to be an accurate cartridge ...
That is exactly what I am doing.The fact you can "recycle" one of your ARs into a .300blk with only a barrel change (hardly rocket science with the AR) makes the entry price about a low as possible.
Does anyone know what happened to the Remington .30 AR or is it the same cartridge?
I'm not an expert in the area of SAAMI or ammo trends per se but I would predict that in 5 years we'll look back at the 300 Blackout as a failed experiment by a private conglomerate to create a new and popular ammo standard.
No.
It seems like the main purpose of the .300 blk is for suppressor use with supersonic applications a distant second.
Also, the .300 blk is basically a reloader's caliber. Reloaders generally aren't interested in 7.62x39.
this is the advantage the 300 Whisper (and copies)
Reminds me of a few other novel and fairly unsuccessful endeavors to increase the AR's potential:
6.5 Grendel
6.8 SPC
.450 Bushmaster
.458 SOCOM
.50 Beowolf
Then there's the .30 RAR. The round has its merits, but it applies to so few people that no amount of advertising and hype will get it to catch on when people look at the economics of getting into it. Sure, it's not all that expensive (or difficult) to rebarrel your AR in .300BLK, but the cost of ammo alone will fail to justify doing so for any real purposes. It will remain an obscure chambering that only a few will keep.
