More energy down range with lower BC bullets.17% increase in energy over AK47 - WTF is he smoking, and this is not the first time <a href="http://300aacblackout.com/" target="_blank">I hear it too</a>! 1600ft/lb in AK vs 1300ft/lb in 300 is not exactly complicated math! Ok, what are the "selling" points of 300? You can run heavier bullets than 5.56 - the fact that you turn your AR into 32-20 Winchester circa 1887 doesn't seem to bother anyone.... 5.56 might not have the punch of .308, but it light years ahead in both external and terminal ballistics of 300. 5.56 case is perfect for 20-22 caliber bullets. 6 TCU, 6.5 TCU, 7TCU, 30 Whisper - keep pushing the case in wrong direction, but for a reason: knocking steel plates out of a pistol. 300 promises improvement on "live targets" - how? oh, yeah, by throwing last 50 years of terminal ballistics out of the window... You can run 125gn super-sonic and 220s sub-sonic. Wait, did everybody just fell of the amnesia train, and forgot that different bullets require different twist rate - and being at extreme ends of the weight, so would be the twist rate. You can't have the pie and eat it too.Last but not least ... subsonic. So you can reduce your rifle to performance of a pistol .... oversized, overwieght, overpriced pistol; color me impressed.But not as accurate as 5.56 would ... and hard is rather subjective. Placement, bullet construction, velocity, caliber - 300 looses so bad on first three counts, the caliber advantage is trivial./hater flame suit ON</blockquote>
