Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles looking to get another AR... which cartridge???

300 blackout

if suppressed is where you are going, for real good choice, for hunting I got to think based on a sample of two that the 6.8SPC2 is a better choice supersonic, the BO is no slouch however.

OK peeps ..... Looking at 16" 300Blk for $318 or a 16" 1:7 Chromoly for $475 .... What do you think?

Are those prices about right???

Thanks.

I'm looking at black car for $3000 and a red car for $3850. Which one?

Those better be complete uppers with good name brand handguards for that price. I hope the $475 upper includes a good BCG too.

yondering..... they do ... leaning more towards the 300BLK

FWIW if its cheap ammo you refer to got it. If chasing brass is a PITA, keep snipping half a coil off your ejector until you get it tossing it in front of you a few feet in a pile that if you sat you cap down upside down it would all land the same place.. makes a HUGE difference in finding the brass easier.

I would not do this to a self defense gun though..

Although in a couple hundred thousand rounds of shooting ARs so tuned I never had an ejection issue ever.

Have you looked at the PTR 32. It's a 7.62x39 that uses AK mags. Cheap to shoot.

Doesn't help at all when you get off the bench and out in the field. Digging around in knee high grass looking for oddball brass for my cousin when we should be hunting broke me of wanting anything but 223/5.56.

It damn sure does help to tune it, instead of having brass 20 feet away in a 10 foot area, I know exactly where to look for my 50 beowulf or 6/6.8 when using them.

No it doesn't help with the grass but it damn sure helps narrow the area down a LOT.

Especically for me cause I won't leave 223 brass laying either....

Now I wont go nuts looking but I sure have good luck knowing which direction to look for a minute or so. I suspect I find about 75% of the brass that way pretty easy and quick.

It damn sure doesn't.

Good lord, my POS Colts throw brass at 4:00 all in a pile 7' away from me. Problem is when several coyotes come running in, you don't always remember where exactly each one was standing or how your gun was pointed.

And Gravity is the same 7' away as 2' away, they have a way of sinking in the grass.

My favorite AR is my 7.62 x 39 more punch easier to see the holes
cheap to shoot
