re: Question about the 300 blackout..

My 300 blackout won't cycle those Hornady 208 grain cartridges. It cycles supers just fine. I haven't gone through the process of doing the SBR so I'm shooting a long barrel. I've heard that I might need to get a different spring in the buffer tube as I don't have an adjustable gas block. Any suggestions are welcome.

Are you running a suppressor? A lot of guns won't cycle subs without having a suppressor adding more back pressure.
Also an adjustable gas block won't do anything in your current situation. The adjustable gas blocks are more for situations where your gun is overgassed. You're most likely underpasses at the moment. A lighter buffer or spring could do the trick but you will have more violent recoil when shooting supers.

You can either look at the adjustability of the jp spring system but they are a little bit expensive. You wouldn't be changing the spring in the stock but more likely the buffer weight. When I was building my 16inch 300 black I ended up drilling out the gas port in the barrel because that was my limiting factor in the gas system since my adjustable gas block was already maxed out and it still wouldn't cycle suns perfectly. Now most people will not have to go that far.
