300 blackout

[Kimber45 3]

Someone please help..... I can't stop myself 3 builds in and now Iam looking at a 4th........ now that parts are becoming more and more available I keep buying stuff...... I have a A4 clone and m4gery and a Afghan type build all turned out really nice. My next build I was looking for something diffrent so I was thinking something in 300 BLK.... I know I can't run a suppressor and Iam cool with that. I like the larger cal. In the ar platform and the fact that you can reuse 223/556 brass.... I am an experienced reloader so that's not much of an issue.... anyhow any input good or bad would be welcome.....thanks all....

I build one some months ago and I like it a lot. If you enjoy reloading this is the rifle for it. Lot of options and mine turn out to be very accurate (Daniel Defense barrel)

Honestly, there is no help for you.  I know because I'm in the same boat.  I am about to start a self imposed boycott of gun stores as my funds are going to be better served (in terms of staying married) fixing up my house.  Unfortunately, it's either/or in my current situation. 

 

I don't own an operational AR.  I have begun my first build, a ground up in...  300Blk.  I reload as well and honestly enjoy that part of the hobby almost as much as shooting so that is a large part of the appeal for me to this round.  I think it's just a really neat round that will be fun to shoot. 

 

FWIW, the 220-245gn hardcast lead projectiles are supposedly still pretty quiet.  I am trying to suss some out to try thru my gun at some point.  Be sure to keep us updated on the progress.

Just give in and let it go. I have all seekins build with ar stoner barrel, whisper buffer snd Giesele SSA-E trigger. Great caliber and load data can be found.

Expensive to shoot unless you re-load (which in your case won't be a problem).

 

I built mine using a Lilja Barrel - I am very pleased..............................

I have built many custom ARs so far, but for money, you can't beat the AACMPW300 rifle.  For around $1500, you have yourself a good solid rifle from the guys who came up with 300 blackout rounds.  KAC rail hand guard and SSA trigger with 1/7 twist barrel. You cant beat it.IMO

I also reload.  Many powders and tips are available for 300 blackout.  This is my home defense rifle.

Are you married? That fixes it in most cases.

[Kimber45 3]

As a matter of fact Iam married and she's a gun nut too.....lol.... she wants her own build but Iam not too fond of the pink or purple choices of color though........ugh..... I might be able to tolerate Colts "Muddy girl" edition but good luck finding one..... I guess it's OK because I have plenty of flat black Ceylon if the shit hits the fan......haha.... thanks for all the input guys.. the only bad thing about this site is it costs me more money........

Yep I want one!   Don't shoot heavy bullets!

[Bully 749]

Old School...

 

The ballistic comparison is neat but it doesn't tell the whole story.  Comparing the heavy 300 bullets to a 44 mag round is neat.  However the heavy 300 bullets are meant to be suppressed.  That's their purpose.  Although a 44 magnum running suppressed sounds neat, I don't know how great an idea it would be.  So, in reality it's a bit of an unfair comparison given their differing purposes.  That 240 grainer running out of a very quiet gun will kill someone quite as dead as the 44 will.  You will just be able to hear again, is all.

 

Not trying to start a piss-fest.  Just a heads up.
