Thanks for the advice. I'd like to get my hands on some 1680, but I haven't been able to get any for about a year... Yes, my rifle is an AR, and the barrel's twist rate is 1:7.

I just got my stamp for my 300 BLK sbr (8.2" barrel), and I've got a stamp for a Thunder Beast 30B coming in another month or two. In the meantime, I wanted to work up a good subsonic load. About a year ago when I first started the stamp process, I remembered reading something about "keyholes"...

Thanks for the load data and advice. I'd really like to get my hands on some 1680, but until I can find some, I'm going to have to see if I can get the H110 to work. Thanks again!

Does anybody have a successful load for subsonic 300 blackout using H110? I'll be using a pistol length gas system on an AR. The Hodgdon website has a suggested load, but from what I've read, it won't cycle the gun, so if anybody has got something that might work, please let me know. Also...

I'm new to reloading and was hoping a forum member might be able to offer some help. I want to find a a cheap option for plinking with my 300 blackout. I found these cheap 115 grain bullets at xtremebullets.com, but they are "copper plated" rather than "jacketed" bullets, and the manufacture...

I'm planning on going 300 blackout for the sbr, but would like to use the same can on a 16" barrel for .223. Could I use a titanium suppressor that way?

Thanks for the advice. How about the thunder beast brake attach suppressors? It looks like they just thread on, right? Or is there a button or something on those too? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I initially thought a QD suppressor was the obvious choice, but I wanted to get everyone's opinion. Another consideration I have is I want a 12-15" rail with an 8.5" barrel. It seems like some of the QD models require a turn of a ring at the base of the suppressor, which wouldn't be...

Thanks for the response. I am trying to figure out how much quieter the 30BA vs. the 30BAS v. 30PSS shooting subsonic and supersonic 300 blackout. Given the noise coming from the action, does the difference, if any, really matter? Thanks

That's almost exactly what I'm planning on building. Thanks for the advice and picture. Is there any reason to go with a standard thread-on suppressor over a QD? Also, it looks like the 30BA is just a muzzle suppressor with threads on the outside. Am I correct in assuming I could attach...

I wanted to get some input on my upcoming purchase. I'm planning on building a an ar-15 in 300 blackout with an 8.5" Noveske barrel. 90% of the time I plan on shooting subsonic 220grain bullets, but I would like the ability to shoot supersonics too. Also, I would like a suppressor that...

Thanks a bunch guys! I got some Federal Premium Gold Medal 308 Win 168 and 175 Grain Sierra Matchking BTHP, and I'll see which one works best.

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, and pretty new to shooting. I'm planning on buying a .308 Remington 700 5R this week, and I need some advice on what type of ammo to get and where to get it. I know lost of people will probably just say get it wherever you can find it, but I'm hoping for...
