AR-15 round better than a .30-.30

So apparently the 300 Blackout has been upstaged by the Wilson Combat's 300 HAM'R cartridge. Anyone seen the new WC "Ranch Rifle" yet? How awesome is it?

Eh. My 6.5 Grendel would kick a 30-30's ass.

Just wondering if the 300 HAM'R is all that?

Sorry, I haven't actually heard of it yet. I'll definitely Google it. I'm all about keeping up with technology.

I'll stick with my 5$ a box 5.56mm.

Haven't heard of it yet. There can only be so much case capacity and so much bullet weight, so I can't imagine much of a difference compared to anything else with similar bullet weights. Have any specs?

[ChillerDr]

The 300 HAM'R was developed from the .223 Rem. The neck has been expanded to .30 caliber. There are bullets from 110 to 150 grains. The case is 1.603" with a 30 degree neck angle.

Interesting. Sounds like a longer case than .300 blk and a little bit lighter bullet.

It's kind of crazy how often the gun industry relates things to hog hunting currently.
