Adjam5 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Anyone have any experience with this caliber? I am considering purchasing an upper for it. It puts 30cal ballistics in a AR sized rifle without having to go up to the AR10 platform. It also takes the same .223/5.56 mags too. Bullet weights from 110gr to 220 gr subsonic. 300 AAC BLACKOUT (300BLK) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Never heard of that caliber but sounds like an interesting one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I know some folks on my state forums that have one. Will look tomorrow and post a link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Saw the upper in a cabelas catalog, was curious about ammo for it. Sounds like it is not too hard to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 This is a thread from my state forum I saw a while back: Ready to get my 300 blackout - Guns and Ammo - Mississippi Hunting and Fishing Forums If you need info, just sign up and ask LeeRacing about it. I assure you, I know nobody else around here that has more BA guns than he does. He can hook you up with info and parts also for your build. Check out some of his toys: these didnt like the 6.5 grendle or my 223! - Guns and Ammo - Mississippi Hunting and Fishing Forums When I grow up I wanna be like him. :clown: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted April 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Lee racing seems to be a builder...Thanks John! Great stuff on that site. I have been reading about that caliber and think its a hit. Most likely it will be my next upper caliber. I was considering a big bore like the .458SOCOM, the .450 Bushmaster ect, but ammo prices are rediculous and they are hard to find . The .300 AAC seems to be affordable and readily availible. Thanks again for the site John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Anytime. Probably not a site you want to hang around on, it is after all a Mississippi site, but figured he may could point you in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleA Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I cant decide on building me a 300blackout bolt gun or just getting a SBR upper and be done with it. Suppressing the 220-240 gr subsonics is what I have in mind. Very quiet and they still pack some down range energy. But then the other side of me wants to build up a very short barreled suppressed .22. Oh the gun demons are working on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie...I can only hope one day I will have to opportunity to own SBR's and suppressors. I do think that will require my moving way south of that Mason Dixon line. The Hill Country that is . I'd like to deer hunt with an AR type rifle and the 300 AAC is just the ticket without having to move up to a AR10 platform. The .223 is just too light for our 200lb deer here in NYS.
