What is the shortest I can go with 300Blk?

Powder on a .300blk burns by 9inches. Most I would go is 9.5.

Once I have my lower and stamp, can I put any SBR on that one lower? I've read conflicting things...

Ya you can put any upper on it.

My .300 has an 8.5" barrel.

My sub reloads I'm using IMR4227 which is a pistol powder. Most .300 powders are for pistols.

Gonna be the same.

The great thing about the .300 is that you can drop down to 110-125 or so and have a round that can be a deer round or 200+ and have subs.

Welp y'all may have swayed me... Now if I submit my form1 and put 300BLK on it... I can still shoot 556 on it later?

My SBR is listed as a 7.5" 5.56

Also, my kids absolutely love shooting that gun. They're 10 and 12

Once the stamp is approved your free to change out uppers to different lengths and calibers. If you ever try to sell and do a former 4 transfer it will have to be in the original configuration on your form 1. That is what is in the registry.

Appreciate the explanations. That's what I thought but a local gun store told me different and had me second guessing.

I know that feeling. Last time I went to Jim's a worker was trying to tell my mom that a 12 gauge pump is the best home defense gun because "when you load it with birdshot, they go over 2000fps and destroy anybody and you dont have to aim it" he also said "once you pump that gun nobody will mess with you".

Change in plan...did a .223 with a 10.5". 300 ammo is just too damn expensive since I dont reload. Maybe down the line...

Are you building the upper or buying a full upper?

You can always switch the barrel out if you want to try the .300.

If you think you will make sure you buy a .30 cal can.

Form 1 submitted :

I was able to beat the deadline of 41F and now have two cans and a SBR on the way

E-file is surprisingly easy to do
