[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 3865908, member: 41176"] I partially agree with you. 300BLK is a contentious subject for gun people, especially AR folks. I think a 7.62x39 in the platform it was designed for is ideal - AK or SKS, but not in an AR...too many issues. 300BLK was designed for a specific purpose and that gets lost on people, especially when they try to make it a rifle and an AK replacement. While it works great, it'll never really have the *** an AK or heavy 5.56 has. It works best in a short barreled platform, unless you overpressure it for a bolt gun. But still, that's silly when you have real rifle cartridges unless you are just f-ing around and having fun. Now if you want to pop critters at 25-100m with subs, it's great and lots of fun, and super quiet, but if you want to reach out a bit, you have to go supersonic and it doesn't have the *** a rifle round has and is just as loud. That doesn't mean no 300BLK, just saying don't confuse it with a real rifle cartridge. I have several and they are for specific purposes. Plus, I enjoy making brass from 5.56, loading, experimenting, and shooting it. [/QUOTE]
