Thread: 300 blackout

I like the short action size, the short barrel (16"), and the ability to switch between supers and subs easily (dial to 6 on my scope gives me a 50m sub zero). I've shot alongside a suppressed 223 and the blackout was quieter.

Once you understand the blackouts limitations it's a very useful package.

Yes the blackout supersonics is definitely quieter than a 223, a few grains less in powder capacity and burn rate.
