Re: 300 BLACKOUT
"<span style="font-style: italic"> When comparing the 300 Whisper to the Blackout, about the only real difference is in the throat. With the Blackout you can load supersonic ammo hotter with the longer throat. Kinda like comparing the 223 chamber to the 5.56 chamber.</span> "

Precisely, I am not getting that excited about the 300BLK over the 300-221 . I think it is Great somebody finally SAAMI spec. the Caliber & Round with factory Ammo coming into production .
BLK has a little more free-bore but you are going to have to end-up Hand-loading anyway, to push the Velocity envelope of the newer BLK Round with free-bore .
Really it is the same thing & not even a reason for me to buy new BLK Die's for re-load . They both will eat the same ammo . & you are going to want to full-size Die anyway for the Semi-AR with re-loading .
ALSO. I have to question the reliability of Feeding . I have got the AR with high-Vel. 30-221 to feed pretty nice . GREAT for shooting or Hunting .
(imho) 30-221, still it is Not near reliable . Not like .556 . So for PR or 3-gun usage . I would HAVE to STAY with .556 AR , Just for Peace of mind & knowing there is going to be a Slim Chance @ best for a FTF .
