The definitive thread regarding non-5.56 AR ammo rec's

[DocGKR]

Yup.

The Federal Fusions are a fantastic 6.8 option.

A half dozen Texas whitetails slain by my wife and a buddy with her 6.8 agree on that 90 grain Federal load. Five DRT and one made it <25 yards. Ranges from 75-125 yards.

Is the Barnes 300 BLK 110 gn out of stock due to the current crisis, or was there a problem before?

Does 300 blackout offer much better performance than a 5.56mm or .223 on the "list"? For humans anyway?

Yes. Performance increases as the cost of the ammo goes up. 300 blk is 33% better.

Not necessarily, but it depends on a variety of parameters--intermediate barriers, barrel length, range, specific load, etc...

Anyone have a sense of how short a barrel you can go with the 110gr TTSX and still get acceptable terminal ballistics? Hornady says 6.75" for the GMX, but I haven't had any luck finding numbers for the TTSX. Use case would be <100 yds.
