[QUOTE="ASP785, post: 2355732, member: 12170"] I have about 2000 rounds through my 300 Blackout SBR now. About 600 of that is suppressed. I completely understand its popularity. I can make hits on a 18" x 24" plate at 200 yards using suppressed ammunition easily. However, with that being said, I am not sure whether or not I would build one again. The bullets themselves, when you can find them, are roughly twice the cost of comparable 5.56 bullets. The 125 grn SMK's have been available but those are pretty pricey. The Speer 130 grn TNT is my favorite loading, but it has been vaporware since Sandy Hook. Component availability is a big issue in my mind. The cartridge is really specialized for the SBR role. If you are building a 16" gun or are a high volume shooter, my opinion is to go with the 5.56 cartridge. A 70 grn Barnes TSX will readily handle hogs or deer sized game. Then you can switch to cheap 5.56 ammunition for general blinking. [/QUOTE]
