[QUOTE="HFS, post: 3402992, member: 8862"] OP, I don't know how good lead bullet reloads will function in an AR. But I think you're on to something. What crossed my mind was the little Ruger American bolt action in 300 Blackout. They made some with a 16 inch threaded barrel in that caliber. I handled one and it seemed nice, except it had no iron sights. Looking at the ammo, I thought of a modern, rimless .32-20 Winchester, if you made some mild loads using flat nose lead bullets. All the purists out there with their mint, like new, unfired 1873 and 1892 Winchesters will howl, but that homely looking Ruger American in 300 Blackout could be a modern vermin buster and walking-around rifle with light loads. You could also use the Blackout as a deer/hog gun with full power jacketed soft point loads. [/QUOTE]
