I'm glad to see that someone else in NJ has a 300 BLK. For a while I thought I was the only person in the state that owns one.

For anyone interested, here's some comparison data put together by Robert Silvers. The most up-to-date data is in the middle of the first page. http://www.300blktalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=128&t=78569

In my opinion, I think this is also really awesome... 300 AAC Blackout (300BLK) Suppressed FN Mk46 MOD1 Light Machine Gun

Yes it exists. I think Shawnmoore81 is referring to the ammo in the link below. In fact this is what I use in my BCM... Federal American Eagle Ammunition 5.56x45mm NATO 62 Grain XM855 Penetrator Full Metal Jacket http://www.midwayusa...ll-metal-jacket

Shane45, Is it this one? http://www.lmtstore....pon-system.html That's a hot rifle. If only I had the cash...

I've heard that LMT makes a very nice (but expensive) AR10 style rifle. Anyone ever try it?

My BCM is 1:7 twist and I usually only shoot 62 gr when I go plinking with it, but when I plink with 55 gr it works ok. It's not ideal for me to go with 55gr, but sometimes it's the most cost effective choice.

Krdshrk has a good point. It would help to know some basic specifications of your rifle so that people can assist you.

FYI - The price of Remington UMC 300 BLK ammo dropped to 11.99 on MidwayUSA http://www.300blktal...p?f=128&t=78597

Supersonic ammo from all the 300BLK ammunition manufacturers reliably works 100% without a suppressor. On my barrel I only have a pinned thread protector on it, and it works perfectly. Again, you do not need a suppressor on a 300BLK AR rifle with carbine length gas. Also, there is affordable ammo out there offered by Remington for 12.99 and PNW for 12.49. Anyone can probably find cheaper deals buying it in bulk online. When Cheaper Than Dirt starts offering the Remington UMC and PNW ammo, they will probably sell them lower than $12. In the near future, there will probably be more ammunition manufacturers that will sell affordable ammo for range use. List of manufacturers can be found in the link below http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/300_BLK Robert Silvers runs www.300blktalk.com and keeps people up to date with all the latest new offerings for the caliber. New product information on that forum keeps on coming and doesn't seem like it's slowing down at all, especially because of Shot Show 2012.

Any time

This one is my favorite. A nice price for a quality handguard. http://troyind.com/%20/rail-systemsaccessories/rails/ar15m16-rails/free-float-rails/troy-battlerail-mrf-mx-10

I personally have not tried it beyond 200 yards. I have heard of people on www.m4carbine.net attempting beyond 200 with Hornady VMAX ammo. Realistically, I think blk is useful only up to 200 or even 300 (if you know what you are doing, but I think that is pushing it) If 400-500 yards is important to you, I honestly do not think you will be happy with 300 BLK. If this is the most important feature to you (honestly, this is what sold me) then BLK is for you.

Resurrecting this old post with some interesting news. DS Arms has a new 300 BLK upper at $320. People on www.300blktalk.com have given positive feedback on it. http://www.dsarms.co...fo/DSZM4CBU300/ Also, Midway and PNW are selling ammo for 12.99 and 12.49. I think that in the near future Cheaper Than Dirt will be selling the Remington UMC 300 BLK ammo for cheaper than 12.99 (just a theory) http://www.midwayusa...acket-box-of-20 http://www.pnwarms.c...px?productId=61 According to rsilvers on www.300blktalk.com there's a lot of new products coming in 2012.
