The only difference between an AR shooting 5.56 versus 300 BLK would be just the barrel right? Would it just be easier to switch out the barrel to go from one to another or just buy the 300 BLK upper as a whole and switch off between the two? Thanks


Switching the upper would be much easier for most AR15s. I think the SCAR and a few other systems may have a quick-change barrel, but you're better off having a separate upper for each caliber in the AR platform.

Quick thought...... I reload and would like to "tune my round to drop the brass in a neat pile next to the bench. That being said I will be using a Wells Custom Can and shooting both sub and super. Would an adjustable gas block be something I should look at for the build? There are so many choices out there and I would hate to put everything together and have to change it. :?:

I have a question that most likely has been addressed previously but I have been playing with subsonic 208 gr and was wondering if anyone had suggested powder loads, type of powder and case length.
I have been loading 300 whisper subsonic for a while and those loads don't seem to perform well in the BLK out.

This type of post baffles me in that the chambers for the 300 Whisper and the 300 AAC Blackout are (as far as I can tell) so close that for all intended purposes they are nearly identical. It seems to me the issue must be one of different barrels and/or porting and not the chambers. Anyone have any input on this?

I was curious what the maximum effective range of the supersonic version of the 300 AAC blackout?

Hitting something at 460 meters would mean a pretty high arc with the bullet for sure. Certainly a "trick shot" if you were not normally dialed in to do work at that distance with the 300 BLK.

I think effective means it would kill if it did hit them, like the mil has a standard for energy for "effective"

Buy a reamer, do it yourself, sell the reamer as used once to do a conversion.
