Range Report! .300 blk build

[Lex Armarum]

So, as some of you may recall, I built my own .300 blk upper for sh!ts and giggles a few months ago. After several months of being too busy to have any fun, I finally had an opportunity to take my new toy to the range and put about 100 rnds downrange. I must say that I think I'm in love! This baby shoots like a dream and is accurate as hell. First, here's the setup:

Received the final parts for my .300 blk build tonight and here's the finished product:

Upper Specs:

No Name Stripped Upper
DPMS Charging Handle
Spikes BCG
PSA 16" .300 BLK barrel
YHM Diamond Quad Rail
JP Enterprises Clamp-On A2 Sight
AAC 51T Flash Suppressor
YHM Low Pro Gas Block & Carbine Gas Tube

Sorry for the craptastic pics.

I am/was using a Vortex Strikefire Optic with a 1 MOA dot.

Here's the ammo:

Remington UMC (Green Box) 115gr.

Here are the results:

I had a great time shooting my rifle; I did not encounter any problems related to feeding, cycling, or ignition. The gun functions flawless and was an absolute dream to shoot.

Good shooting! I'd love to build a .300 Blackout SBR....maybe when I find a new job. Lol...good stuff man!

Better for HD than 5.56?

Very cool build. Still waiting for my SBR stamp to shoot my 10" as a SBR and not a pistol.

 

[Caudizle]

No SBR? Man that would be the only reason I would go 300 BLK, get a nice 9"-10" SBR.

Not knocking your rifle, looks sweet man!

Alas, that seems to be the case. Thank you for picking my brass out of your sweepings.

I chose the .300 blk non-SBR for several reasons:

1. With a sixteen inch barrel, I can always suppress it and it still won't be too long;

2. I like the round much better then the .223 (although each has its place) and it still feeds flawlessly in the AR platform;

3. I plan to make a go at hunting with this rifle as most of my recent kills where I hunt have been <100yds. Even at 200 yds, this round is still lethal. I'll need a better optic/scope though.
