300 AAC Blackout

[Sharpienads]

I'm currently building a rifle in 300BLK. Got an AAC upper and a Noveske N4 Chainsaw lower. I can't wait to finish it and go out and shoot 'er!!! The good news is ammo is down around 5.56 prices.

COngrats! There is some good ammo coming available.

That is the UMC stuff and great for all around plinking and a good price.For 10 boxes/200 rds that is a little over $110 ducks.

Every I have read the 110gr Hornady V-max and the new 110grain Barnes Vortex seems to be the best for stopping power. In fact "Stickman" did a review nicknaming the Barnes the "Destroyer".

I have some 125grain Nosler ballistic, 147grain PNW range rounds and want to get some sub-sonic and that UMC stuff to take and make sure my new .300 BLK pistol can eat it all.

Mine is an SBR, so I figure while I'm waiting for my Form 4 approval I'll have plenty of time to stock up on ammo

Finally got a day off to make some Whisper/Blackout brass from 223 for a buddy in Florida.

2,500 pcs only took a couple hours. Now to box it back up and send it back.

Freedom Munitions is getting ready to release a commercial batch too, according to their facebook. They have pretty good prices on other things usually, might be something for you guys to watch (and if/when it gets under 30c a round, I'll probably build one)

This cartridge seems to be gaining popularity and momentum. I dont know why but it feels like this one is not a flash in the pan. Everybody who shoots it loves it.

It has been around for a very long time. It was and still is the 300 Whisper. JD Jones came up with the concept but was a jerk about the "Whisper" name.

The Blackout is pretty much nothing more than a long throated Whisper that got SAAMI approval.

So the Blackout is the way to go when getting into the 300 animal?

I think the 300blk has gained momentum in it's current state because of a few reasons...

1. It is a great, versatile round that can be fired out of a common platform without a lot of hooplah needed to send the scunyon down range

2. "Did you say BLACK....OUT??? AAC....BLACK.....OUT....OMFGZORS THIS IS QUITE POSSIBLY THE COOLESTLY NAMED FUCKING ROUND IN THE HISTORY OF ROUNDS I MUST HAVE A RIFLE THAT BLACKS OUT MOTHER FUDGERS WITH MY BLACKED OUT VEST AND POUCHIES AND BLACK GUNS AND STUFFS BLACKOUT OR DIE MOTHER FUCKERS!!!" - random gear queer

Just wait until they come out with a ".408 shootyouinthefacewith300grainsofThorsfury". That one will be going places.

Either work. I think the Whisper is more accurate, but the Blackouts different throat lets you run more pressure/higher velocity.

Spook (a member here) built my latest 300 Whisper upper. Incredibly accurate and with a 20 inch barrel I can get some impressive velocities. I dont need no stinkin blackout...
