I use 20 round mags for my 300 BO and 30 round mags for 223. 223 is for varmits, plinking, and self protection. 300 BO is for hunting in a stand over greenfield less than 100 yards.
I also have different optics and sights for the 300.

Well, Dad got his AR back from BM. No explanation why it did what it did. They put a new trigger, bolt, and clip in it. WTF? No reason why it happened? He's scared to shoot the dang thing now.

A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

I heard those stories about .300 Blackouts firing in a 5.56, but I checked a 5.56 barrel, and it looked like the Bolt would be about 1/16" from letting the bolt go into battery. Has anyone else made similar measurements?

I can't say I blame him. I've never had a gun blow up on me but I bet it adds some trigger flinch that takes awhile to get over. Take it to the next gunshow and tell them it's "slightly used." (joke)

sell it and get a better one, Colt, DD, Noveske, Smith, FN, RRA, even PSA or maybe even DPMS is a better one....
the very name bushmaster strikes fear into the heart...but for a different reason than you might think..

Has anyone else made similar measurements? I fail to see how a 30 caliber bullet would fit in a .224 chamber given how delicate the platform is. I mean even a grain of sand seems to mess them up...
