.300 AAC BLK - who's got one?

armed ferret · Apr 21, 2014

mushroom stamp?

penis to the face?

BradMacc82 · Apr 21, 2014

People don't have to wait 9+ months for that type of stamp.

My hog gun
9" AAC upper/762SDN
SWFA 1x4

Shoots super and subs with ease. I'm having a hard time finding decent subs that it likes. No feeding problems, but the groups suck. Does fine with supers/suppressed.

I'm going AAC upper too. Really nice setup you have there.

BradMacc82 · Apr 21, 2014

Just make sure that AAC actually secured the gas-block.

I know someone (on this forum) that had that issue.

mtel · Apr 21, 2014

Wow...got it, appreciate the head's up.

BradMacc82 · Apr 21, 2014

To their credit, they took care of it pretty quickly once the issue was discovered.

Never tried Lehigh Defense. They're in stock, but at $50 for a box (of twenty, I assume) I won't be trying them any time soon, either. I need to let my bank account recover.

I'm going to start reloading as soon as I settle a little. I have a press and plenty of brass, just need to get started (probably with 5.56 until I get the hang of it).

They aren't for plinking that's for sure, but it is a damn fine round for accuracy. I am trying to find a decent round to plink subsonic. I hope to get some SMK's and reload them.

Good luck reloading.

I built mine bottom up. Great supersonic. I actually purchased an adjustable gas block. I can tune it to either super or sub sonic rounds without a can attached.

Match grade trigger from geissele, match Wilson combat barrel, bravo company BCM, AAC flash hider with screw on can option.

Word to the wise: pick a round and stay with it. It isn't like a .223 where you throw anything in and run. Your gas return, recoil extension and pressure collection matters huge. I have essentially stuck to PNW Arms 147gr HPBT round as my hunting grain of choice. From there I can feed as low as 110 VMAX or up to 155gr match.

If you want a good heavy bullet for subsonic plinking, you could look for the Hornady 220 interlock. They're around 30-ish per box of 100. bout half the price of SMK's. Granted, the BC is complete shit, but it's for plinking.

BradMacc82 · Apr 21, 2014

225gr Hornady Match is what I bought in bulk for sub plinking for the reloads. Never could get sub-moa with the Aimpoint PRO, but it definitely had potential if a proper optic was employed.

My Noveske Pistol gas barrel will run absolutely any load I feed it. I even reloaded some below SAAMI and they still cycled the action.

powder valley has the 208 Hornady BTHP for 30 bucks/100. pretty fair to middlin price on an actual match bullet for plinktastic amazement.

joemac · Apr 21, 2014

Mine. Cheapest components I could find except hand guard and stock. Scope is total junk and is going to be changed. Rifle impressed me with it's accuracy. I haven't shot it a whole lot but easily kills groundhogs at 125yds. Can in the future.

That's the bullet I use for my sub handloads. I load them for .38c a round and they perform great. Combined with 10.7gr's of Accurate 1680 they function 100% out of my 8.2" Noveske barrel suppressed or unsuppressed with a milspec buffer spring and H2 buffer.

Klunatic · Apr 21, 2014

I would love to find and try some Hornady 195gr BTHP, it appears they suspended production temporarily. May try some of 208 BTHP's in the meantime.

I took it hunting this year. It was devastating on the hogs. It is much more pleasant to shoot and you get a very good opportunity at 2nd-3rd shots if you have a group of hogs around with the 300. I just recently SBR'd this rifle and can't wait to try it out next time I go hogging,

Where do you go hogging, I am looking for ppl to hook up with and do some myself, I just went hunting with my self built 300 last Nov and got to deer.

Near Del Rio, TX (Southwest Hill Country). I am trying to find something on/near the East Coast to go, preferably a state where you can night hunt. I hear the Hogs are starting to establish themselves in VA.

I've got three:

- 16" left handed Noveske with a U.S. Optics 1.8-10X scope

- 10.2" Left handed Noveske

- 16" Handirifle

I hand load 300 Blackout.

2A Sales has one in stock!

I am still trying to get other things in order. Maybe when I get around to selling a couple bolt action hunting rifles and have some extra cash on hand.

btw...how much? :innocent0

JB62 · Apr 22, 2014

I have been looking to get into the 300 blk world. These builds are making me jealous. Does anybody know of any IPs that have ar pattern in stock ?
