Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I just picked up 115gr UMC stuff for like $190 for 300 rounds. PNW is like $12 something for their range rounds.......Originally Posted by Sharpienads
Not as cheap as 5.56 but cheaper than 6.8. Bet reloading you can cut the cost down even more, just don't have the time for it.
in stead of "disregard" you could have said: "bet the weather is HOT in Florida now." or something.

Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.
See, perfect!
......but was there a 300 blk rifle leaning against the chair and why is John not sitting in the chair fondling his new 300 BLK rifle?

My feedback
Just bought a .300 Blackout upper for a good deal, and I bought 400 rds of 115gr UMC from cheaper than dirt. That should keep me in enough brass for awhile since I plan on reloading. Now I need to save for the can.
300 blackout
I am considering buying a 300 Blackout upper to use for hunting. Nothing fancy, just a scope.
I have read a ton of post on this round but nothing concrete. Is it a great hunting round or not and will I be wasting my money.
Your thoughts, please.

Hunting? Depends...could be excellent depending on range/animal size. Inside of 400 yds on Deer or Antelope size game the ballistics indicate it would be fantastic. Look at the Atlanta Arms 125gr Nosler ballistic tip load at about 2300 ft/sec. If you are going to hunt Antelope at 500-700 yds, I wouldn't use it. If you are going to hunt elk at more than 200 yds (with a 147 gr load for instance), I wouldn't use it. Run a ballistics program(plenty free online) on the desired bullet/velocity and you will see the useful hunting range and energy this round has. I plan to hunt deer with mine. Hogs? great round for them as well.
Think .30-.30 rifle...would you take it on your hunt?...if so 300 AAC blackout is a good choice.

White Tail out to about 175 yards and hogs in my front yard.
Then yes, the ballistics on .300 AAC blackout say HELL YA!!!White Tail out to about 175 yards and hogs in my front yard.
deer out to 400? elk at 200?
possible? yes.
unethical? definitely!
i dont care what bullets you are running in a 300 aac, whisper or whatever you want to call it, it is NOT a big game round beyond about 100 yards. 125gr at 2300fps? that is ridiculous to use on any big game beyond 100 yards. it is impressive for the size of the case, but is NOT impressive in trajectory or in energy.
please do not take a 300 aac out after big game. odds are pretty good that the animal will not be taken cleanly. keep the range to handgun range and it could be ok.
