I'll go farther and say that if you don't plan on getting it suppressed, then don't do it, go 6.8


Umm why?

300 is compatible with 99% of current ARs currently on the market with a simple barrel swap, 6.8 is not. The 300 can shoot factory 220 grain bullets, the 6.8 cannot. The 300 has factory bulk ammo, the 6.8 does not. The 300 has all the momentum going for it right now, the 6.8 does not.

A few positives for the 300 right there. What does the 6.8 have for it? Long range? The .308 is much better in every aspect over the 6.8.

Because to me, the most enticing thing about the .300 is the suppressed options, and all the momentum you speak of seems to come from those suppressed options.

I can understand your points, even though personally I would rather the range over the compatibility with other weapons.

I will ask if you know if the round is compatible with the IWI Tavor, which fires from PMAGs and is chambered in 5.56

Also, to you and the OP, I watched a ten minute video courtesy of burgeman386 that has blown my mind about the .300 blackout.

I need to do a lot more research, but I think I just became a believer.
