Fixed your question. The answer is .300 blackout Barnes Tac-TX’s or Sierra TMK’s. Nosler Varmageddons I think are viable too, just haven’t tested them out yet.
Ill have to try them out. I used them before in 300BO and killed a lot of pigs with them.
Doc
I think I will use the 120gr Barnes black tips since I ha e about 300 of them.
Low recoil versus a 168 or 175gr.
No I understand that a 308 pistol shouldnt be used in a SD role, however shit happens sometimes and you gotta kill the T-Rex 4 houses down.
Doc
Or you want to blow the T-Rex's eardrums out.
With that short of a barrel and corresponding velocity loss, I'd personally be looking hard at either bullets designed around the 300blk, or at varmint bullets (loaded factory ammo with varmint bullets). Probably want to stick to loaded factory ammo.
Shooting dudes with handloads is not one of those things I'd recommend either...but I've never been in that situation, and simply refer to all of the anecdotes that some of the bigger names presented a decade or more go.

If ya sawed the barrel off. Why not wad cutter some factory ammo to get down to a lighter bullet? The rifle equivalent of the smith and wesson cheif special lol.
Its definately cool, i was just kidding. Ever since i saw this i kinda wanted one. I was just being jealous
Very cool and all.
However...
I'd suggest that in 2 way range usage, you might be at a bit of a disadvantage if your opponents are able to put additional aimed shots on target quicker due to the less violent recoil of a different chambering. In addition at night, you might be disadvantaged by the muzzle blast.
I only have an ar 10, i have an aac flash hider on it and at night i have no flash issues. I mean technically he could add a can and over gas a little and shoot faster. And if 308 recoil is too much for you then you need to man up a little and train. The worst part of running the ar 10 is doing mag changes. So i practice reload drills more than anything. Practice practice practice, like anything else its just a tool. And yeah close quarters its like using a sledge hammer on finishing nails. But if what you are doing is destroying finishing nails then why use anything else.
I had buddies that were in afganistan during the 2000's that came back and told me stories of when they would "bring out the big guns" as i have been told there is a difference between and assault rifle and a battle rifle. The way i understood it, you carry an assault rifle when your walking alot and probably not shooting, you carry a battle rifle when your going to the places where the bad guys are. In your scenario i would rather have a battle rifle.
