I know the Blackout isn't a barnstormer but I like the idea of reloading .380ACP power level 90gr loads all the way up to 30-30 or 7.62/39 power levels or heavy 180-250gr subsonics. My LGS ordered this rifle as it sits with Konus Pro 3x9 scope, mount, and case for $300 delivered. It weighs 7lbs, trigger pull is a glass-breaking 2.5lbs with no take up or overtravel, 16.5" SS threaded, fluted barrel. I posed it with my 10/22 so you can see how compact it is. Ultimately gonna get a suppressor for it and shoot all subsonic.
On Nov 15: I shot 3 rounds at 25yds to sight in, cleaned the barrel, then set the target back to 50yds. 3 shots--One ragged hole. This is factory Rem 220gr OTM which doesn't even get the greatest reviews for accuracy. Recoil is as mild as my .223, report is like a .38spl. I'm thawing out while the barrel is soaking in cleaner again. I'll try a 100yd group. Pretty impressive little rifle.
100 Yards
Last group of the day, failing light, hands frozen off, sick from some plague the wife brought home. I fired a round at 100yds, checked the spotting scope and it wasn't on target. There was 1 hole 8" low. Fired another one right next to it. Patched the barrel and aimed with the top of the bottom duplex post. I never really settled in or felt good about the trigger pulls but still managed to land 3 in 1.25"
I believe this gun has sub-MOA potential. Probably with this ammo even. Reloads will really dial it in. Lol on the 8" drop at 100yds though.
I ordered another H&R form Palmetto. Should see in by February.
