Since it has been stated that the most efficent barrel length for a 300 BLK (SS) is 9",
what is the accuracy potential for the 300 BLK in this barrel length?
What was the best accuracy that you have encountered out of a short barrel in either 300 BLK, 300 / 221 Fireball, or "300 Whisper(R)"?
Would 1 MOA accuracy out to 400 yards be possible with quality hand loads?
If so, this would make the 9" upper setup a formitable platform for a multi-role weapons system.

Re: 300 BLK Accuracy Potential
The 9 inch precision is in the spec sheet. This was generated from 175 rounds fired from 7 uppers (25 rounds each) with no flyers subtracted and was at 100 meters.
With the 16 inch Model 7 light barrel, we did 10 groups of 5 rounds each with the 155 ammo and it was 0.8 MOA average. That is not a BS 3 shot group picked out of several. No discarded rounds. No flyers. No BS.

Try Berger flat base bullets and Sierra Game Kings for hand loads.
Re: 300 BLK Accuracy Potential
Did you happen to test the 220 SMK load?
Thanks for posting the test results.
I was hoping that was the case.
Having the 9" as a PDW platform only would be a waste.
My build is going to be whatever Noveske puts out as their SBR length barrel coupled with the PRI Full Length Forearm & ARMS 38 SPR-PEQ-2 Sleeve so that my TBAC 30P-1 is recessed into the hand guard.
(Should look like a Mk12 Mod0 and an MP5SD had a baby.)

Re: 300 BLK Accuracy Potential
The 9 inch precision was the 220 SMK with a silencer.
Re: 300 BLK Accuracy Potential
Sounds like the 16 is a great option beyond SBR lengths.
Re: 300 BLK Accuracy Potential
the 16" Robert is talking about above is the one for a Remington 700/Model-7. but, yes, the round performs very well from a non-sbr barrel too.Blackwind wrote:Sounds like the 16 is a great option beyond SBR lengths.

Re: 300 BLK Accuracy Potential
Thanks for pointing that out Jason. I missed that the first time.
Re: 300 BLK Accuracy Potential
Sorry if this has been covered, but will using a 762SD-08 on a 9" 300 BLK invalidate your warranty?
