Thread: 300 Blackout Suppressor - fixed the bastard...

I have tried 208 gr A-maxes with numerous powder charges and they just refused to work at all. I tried 220 grain SMK's and have had to boost the charge to supersonic to get them to work with my standard buffer and spring. I have come to the conclusion that I will need an alternate buffer and spring for the subsonic loads to work. My gun loves 125 grains Nosler ballistic tips. I guess they will be my load of choice. I plan on experimenting with some 150 grain SMK's. We were at the range the other day and a couple of young guys were shooting their 556 AR's at a non AR500 steel plate. When they would fire you would here a bang and an immediate "tink" sound. Josh fired my 300 Blackout at the plate and you would here a bang and then a slightly delayed "clunk" sound. One sounded like you were throwing pebbles at the plate, the other sounded like you were beating it with a hammer. I am developing a real fondness for the Blackout.
