300 AAC Blkout

[jcoosi]

So I finally bought one after wanting one for a while.Got the upper from individual on ar15.com its an AAC 16" with the 51T flash suppressor.The lower is a Spikes I picked up local from Direct Hit in Jackson TN.Had to order some ammo from Midway since none of the stores in the area dont carry or if you ask them they give you that deer in the headlights look.Right now looking for some optics and saving for a 762-SDN-6 suppressor.

Anyway here is a pic of it

That is a great looking firearm, my friend! What type of flash hider is that?

Also, what made you decide on the SDN-6?

[jcoosi]

Its AAC 51T and I have several ar15s and a couple of ar10s so the 762sdn6 will work on them all.

Whatcha doing for ammo here? Rolling your own?

[jcoosi]

I had 4 boxes come today from midway today.Gonna order dies soon.

How much, on average, would one save by reloading himself (on the .300 BLK)?

Savings is obviously tied to how much you shoot. I have also jumped feet first into the Blackout round after ordering a .30 Cal suppressor I'm still waiting on. I don't reload yet, as I don't shoot enough to justify the start up cost, that being said, I'm getting close though...

Here is a webite that I will order some rounds from for hunting with it this fall. They also post the ballistics of their rounds for those who have always been curious about the stats on both the super and subsonic rounds on the blackout.

Like stated depends on the amount you shoot.If you shoot one-two boxes a year then its probably not worth reloading your own.

Good to know. Kinda debating between .30 calibers. .300 BLK seems to be cheaper than .308...
