Thread: 300BLK on AR Platform for Bush Hunting

I like it

So it's a slightly bigger projectile, but still designed for longer range accuracy like the .223? Its more of a speciality calibre in the AR though isn't it?

Would the 300blk not be more appealing as a AR owner because all that's needed to go from 223 to 300blk is a barrel swap? Whereas the 6.8 would require different bolts and mags?

I like the idea of subsonic 300blk for goat and wallaby culling, which isn't possible with 223/6.8.
