Re: 300 Whisper now loaded by Hornady
rsilvers, what is the intention of the 300 AAC round?
What are the advantages compared to the 6.8 SPC, which is a flatter shooting round?
Does it use the same mags and bolt of the 5.56? What parts (springs, buffer, etc.) do you have to change in addition to the barrel?
I'm very familiar with the 300 whisper, it has been a very popular round for silhouette shooting for the last 15 years or so. In addition to the shorter neck on the 300 AAC, is it loaded to slightly higher pressures?
TIA
