As it stands, I don't have a can. Its on the list for mid year. In doing some minimum research and you bringing this point to light, it appears the cast bullets can play heck with suppressor/s. I'll keep this in mind. Thanks for the heads up.

One of the members here has been powder coating cast bullets (220's I believe) for the 300 to reduce leading and has had very good luck with them.

So I was under the impression and even told by some lgs that in order to build a 300 blk it would have to be in pistol form. Is this still true or are they considered hbars? I know someone looking to build one for deer hunting and he would much rather build a rifle if he's allowed.

I'm building one into a rifle. I have a 16" barrel with a pistol length gas system.
300BLK is an HBAR, due to caliber.
A 300BLK really shines with a short barrel, so people like to build pistols with them or SBR's. Your friend can build a pistol or a rifle, the choice belongs to them.

Not true again! Not all 300BLK barrels are not HBAR.
Wilson Combat has lightweight 300blk barrels and I bet they are structurally sound.

Nice, he was going to do a 10.5" barrel but if he can do a rifle then he'd go 16". Any ideas on where to get a good quality 16" that won't break the bank...preferably a complete upper.
Thanks

My custom build .300 blk is using this barrel only fluted for weight savings. It's quite nice imo.

The barrel I linked is a lightweight profile and can not be fluted. Most likely you have a Recon profile that is fluted which is a HBAR.http://www.wilsoncombat.com/press/TR-300RC16F.pdf

Barrel, yes. Complete upper, no.
