I may have asked this before but looking for some ammo recs on 300blk.

I don't need anything match grade and am not looking to spend $1/rd+. Just looking for reasonably priced, quality ammo. It's going through a Texian Armadillo SBR build.

Supersonic: hogs, varmints, maybe an exotic at night. Leaning towards a 110gr or 125gr but open for suggestions.

Brand?
Grain?

Subsonic: primarily just plinking and occasional varmint gun

Brand?
Grain? (Leaning 208, but open)

My spouse has given me the go-ahead to do a nice AR15 build. I'm stuck on choosing a barrel. My choice would be an 18" barrel with a rifle length gas system chambered for 223 Wylde. It should also be lightweight. Any recommendations?
Check out green mountain barrels... Plenty of flavors to choose from in the 18" category

Lots of "cheap" 220 gr subs on the market. Hell you can buy them at Academy. Some higher quality stuff out there and I've been happy with the Headwaters subs I got from FOG.

You'll see a lot of 208gr AMAX subs out there but I question the expansion you actually get using an expensive bullet like that.

Only one decision left to make. What barrel to put on my .300 BLK Pistol (Until Stamped) Build.

I am thinking 10 in but I am not suck on it. I want a stainless finish. Any recommendations or advise is appreciated.

Are you going to SBR and suppress?

8" is the shortest I'd go. You shouldn't see any degradation of bullet performance from 10" down to 8", just slight less velocity. 9" is generally thought of as the optimal length as the 300 blk was designed for that length.

I'm running a 10" on mine, but will probably buy a shorter barrel when I get a suppressor.

9"

Does Ballistic Advantage make one that fits that criteria?

I do plan to suppress at some point. 9 Is fine also I just have not seen as many of them around. Ballistic Advantage does not have one that fits what I am looking for.

Found the parts kit and it came in.



I hope it looks as good as I think it will. I would be putting it together now but I got delayed. But I will pick them up to night and get started.

Finally got the picture to work. It has been a while.

I think you're right. Otherwise we'd see all sorts of bits and pieces flying off the brake.

I ended up ordering the BA 10.3" Hanson. On Sale
Only thing left is a rail/handguard. I saw one I liked in a shop Friday but had not settled on a barrel. Went back yesterday and it was gone. Darn! I want one that will stop just short of the threads.
Any advise/preferences?

A little over 300 yards, which is nothing for either of those SR's. I was shooting XM80 ball in that video

Can anyone recommend a 6.5" quad rail for an AR10 for under $100? I thought this would be an easy find, but everything I find at a low price point is for AR15s.

Free float. If you don't feel comfortable doing it and are in houston, as long as we can get the pins out, we can install for $50 and there ya go.

Thanks, Binder! It's ordered and on the way. If I have trouble with the install, I will bring it by.

Alright I need an opinion.... what kind of case do yall use to carry your AR? I had my mind set on a hard sided Plano case from Academy but my brother bought me a soft sided case for Christmas. I don't like asking people how I can return their gifts...or showing up with something similar but different than what I was given. What should I do outdoor board?
