300 AAC Blackout

Damn! Where'd you find primers for $25? Right now and probably in the foreseeable short term future, reloading is the only way to go. So far I've only found Remington factory ammo at LGS and it was only a few boxes. $32/20 of Remington 125gr matchking and $23/20 220gr subsonic.

I got primers at Cabelas for $30 two days ago. Reloading opens up many other calibers that one would never think of having to buy ammo. That is why I like 38 super over 9mm. Once you have the brass loading is only 1.5-2gr more powder and you have a wider range to play with.

So I got an email for a .300 HBAR barrel, 16" and 1:7 twist for $109. Would it be worth it to grab?

Depends...is it from Alpha Shooting Sports? There have been chamber issues reported with those. Their 5.56 barrels are good to go, but I have seen more than a few posts regarding their .300 BLK chambers.

Says ESS Barrels as the manufacturer.

Who's giving this deal?

Who's giving this deal?

ShadowOps sent me an email for it since I've bought lowers from them.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but how does the .300 blk compare to 6.8 for HUNTING purposes? I'm not talking ballistics past 300 yards, because I really won't be taking shots past that. How is ammo availability for hunting for both?

[XC700116]

For that I'd probably lean toward the 6.8 as 300 BLK if not loaded pretty hot doesn't have the snoot to make the legality requirements for CO. That said, it can be done. 125 Nosler BT's are probably the best bet for a good hunting bullet.

Thanks, that's good to know
