I almost loaded up some 225gr supers. Load data went to 1500 or 1500 fps, butni dont have any upcoming hunts planned so i dont need the extra energy. What many people dont realize is you can get 110gr up to 223 velocities. I like the versatility from the reloading side of it
300 blackout is stupid.

I did not realize that. I have been going back and forth on a .300 blk for deer hunting but a lot of the ballistics don't leave me too confident in humane kills. I know it's been done, but I need to research ammo selection more before I dive in.
This is a good read.

Also, academy had ammo on the shelf for 16,99. While thats a little over twice as much as some 223 ammo, its the same as many popular hunting round like 30-30.
Can we bypass the round comparison/pooing on just one 300blk thread? Please? This has been beat to damn death.

Now you're just being silly.
Whatever... Everybody knows Glocks suck because plastic.
(I'm kidding of course.)
7.62 for me as well. I tried the 300 blackout in a weak moment and then sold it really fast. Very neat just not for me.
I did try out 300BLK ran subs and supers but I let it go and got the 6.5 Grendel waiting till next month to run it suppressed when my stamp comes through. Fingers crossed. I think the 6.5G is perfect for the AR15 just my $0.02 it's the best caliber for hunting in AR15 platform out to 500-600 yds. I won't make that shot but it can be done with a 16" barrel.
would the 6.5 suppress worth a damn?
also, looking at the ballistic data it seems that you'll need an 18 to 22" barrel to get the expected performance out of the 6.5 grendel round. with a can hanging off the end, that's going to be quite the setup.

From what I've read I think the 19.5" is peak performance of 6.5G. I've got a 16" now looking to do a 18" later and as far as suppression goes I dunno I have an ASR FH on it now waiting on my stamp approval hopefully first of April.
I'd like to see and hear that...I've been waiting a long time to see what kind of pffffump it makes. Thanks
I mark used to my mark my mags with electricians tape to indicate subsonic loads. However, I just got a load of new PMAGs in sand color for my sub rounds for my 300 (I'm changing the floorplates on my .308 PMAGs to indicate sub rounds).
I've made the switch to 300BLK as my go-to carbine of choice and I'm glad I did. However, like most things, it's personal preference and there's now arguing that. De gustibus non est disputandum.
