300BlkTalk

I didn't really like the long handguards at first but now I love 'em. They do grow on you and also let you run the rifle from way up front which I'm getting fond of.

I don't think faster twist makes bullets more accurate. Just more stable. They are not one and the same - as while I have seen unstable bullets, I have not seen that instability make larger groups. Also there is evidence that higher RPMs make bullets open up easier. And the often-cited downside of ...

Is that to optimize accuracy with heavy subsonics, or in everything in general. I'm a light bullet, high velocity guy and built my 300 for hunting with the light 110gr TTSX.

Thanks for your insight!

I'm not a subsonic shooter, at least not yet, but am encouraged that another major company is loading the BLK. Only makes the round stronger and will help its long-term viability. I'd like to see a 110 gr or 125 gr Tactical Bonded like their LE223T3 load. That would be a superb LE/Mil round. I feel...

Where on the deer did the bullets hit? Some hits just don't give much blood. A low chest heart/lung shot on the other hand....

You have a good bullet, so I doubt that is too much of the problem.

Ahah! I did a bit more looking. The Black Tipped Tac-TX is the 300BLK specific round while the blue tipped TTSX is the regular 110gr tipped TSX. Did you see the light bulb come on over my head? Thanks again! I was under the impression that the 110black tipped was the same as the 110 gr TTSX. Just wh...

I was under the impression that the 110black tipped was the same as the 110 gr TTSX. Just when I thought I had things figured out.....! :lol: What is the difference? Thanks! Throw a can on the end of a short 300BLK AR, feed it some 110gr TTSXs and I think you have an ideal patrol carbine. Can anyone...

rjacobs and KingIX,

Thanks. I'm kind of new to the 300BLK thing but have lots of experience from my police days with the 5.56. It is a learning curve, but I appreciate the insight from those with experience.

I can almost smell the tenderloins on the grill.

Nice shot. I agree with the other about head shots being great (taught them to the guys on the department ) , but I still make shots like yours on the deer. Don't know why, but I like a good shot to the boiler room.

Bon appetit!
