I've never had a 300BLK before, and I'm in the process of building one, but with two uppers, both are intended to be full time suppressed, but I will source some supers in the beginning for function testing etc as they are just plain cheaper and easier to get right this moment. However, the ultimate goal is to find out what each upper likes to eat the best thats subsonic, while still getting a loading that has good terminal performance in tissue. Obviously looking for subs means not looking for a lot of range out of them, so lets say up to 150-200 yards as a starting point, but realistically, I'd settle for 100. I do not reload for 300 at the moment, but am looking to change that by the end of the year.
On to what I'm trying to feed:
Can will be a 8x1.175 form 1 can by JR machine products for now, replaced with an nomad XL when it gets out of jail.
First upper will be a maxim defense PDX 5.5 upper with a xeno brake.
Second upper will be a 7.5 inch faxon barrel on an AERO m4e1 upper with AERO nitride carrier, also have a ballistic advantage 8.3 Hanson that I will try at some point, also with a xeno.
My goal is to find something that gets to 1.5 MOA or better with subs. Ideally I'd like to find something that has good terminal performance, meets my accuracy goals, isn't hard to source components when things are "normal", and could be used for taking game as well.
Not looking for a magic answer or anything here, just some ideas of where I wanna go to try and meet my goals.
