Thankfully I have lived long enough to see the perfect match of the perfect round with the perfect rifle.

Surprised that there aren't half a dozen posts by now trashing the Mini-14, telling all about what a POS it is....

no need, everyone already knows what a rip Ruger has been bedding with anti gunners and what crap the mini is to boot.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

300 Blackout is a great round, that ought to make for a fun Mini.

I still see the 300 BO as more of a niche cartridge for niche applications. The next Ruger I will test, shortly, will be the new Model 77 Hawkeye FTW Predator in in 6.5 Creedmoor.
If you're fixin' to put a hole in something,
make it a hole to remember.

Why not get a Mini 30 with a slightly more powerful, and much less expensive, round?

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

its a perfect fit, a not particularly accurate cartridge in a not particularly accurate rifle.

I started shooting deer with a 300 whisper Contender 14 years ago. Bought a can and now have a Noveske AR 10.5" that I ponied up $200 to do the SBR thing. I shoot both supersonic and subsonic. We have way to many deer on my farm and neighbors all around. I leave the can on my rifle all the time. Plenty accurate out my Contender and Noveske. Killed more than 80 whitetails with it with zero cripples or run offs. Most are dead within 10 yds and max I had to look for one is 80 yards on a double lung shot. I shoot 110 gr Barnes blacktips. Early on 125 gr Nosler ballistic tips. Subsonic, I load 220 gr Outlaw State Bullets which expand at subsonic velocities. Don't own a Ruger Mini but see the utility as a beater truck gun. I bought a Ruger Gunsite Scout in 308 win which is very accurate and quiet. My brother just bought a Ruger American Ranch in 300 Blackout. Very nice and I will get one also. I feel 9 out of 10 folks that bash the 300 Blackout have zero actual experience with the round. I have shot thousands and thousands of my reloads and my experience is it a great round. The 300 Blackout is also dirt cheap to reload. I love my 5.56's, 300 Blackouts, and 308 Winchesters. Need nothing bigger for what I hunt.

what is funny I guess is how companies invest in then abandon cartridges. Looking at the old 45 Colt its still being loaded, but recently we saw the mad rush to the 6.8SPC followed by a tapering of interest in that cartridge with the new fave being the BO. I do agree the 110 grain Barnes Vor-TX supersonic bullets make the cartridge more than it would be without them, that for sure is one thing they did right with it.

I'd rather a 110 grain TSX in 6.8 that is 30 caliber.
