Thanks Robert.

The lack of noise from the 9" AAC upper with a 762SD can and 220 grain Corbon 300 Whisper ammo was IMPRESSIVE! It will be exciting to hear it with the 762SD next year.

Did it work with Cor-Bon 220 grain 300 Whisper(R) ammo?

Did it feed?

Did it cycle/eject?

I have a box but never tried it.

Robert,

Did it work with Cor-Bon 220 grain 300 Whisper(R) ammo? - YES, both 220 and 150 Cor-Bon 300 Whisper ammo. I got one box of each with the upper and I will not buy anymore (way too expensive). I need my Forster dies.

Did it feed? - YES, both 220 and 150 Cor-Bon 300 Whisper ammo

Did it cycle/eject? - YES, gun was about 4.5' off the ground when fired parallel to the ground and brass landed about 6-8 feet to the left and about 8 or more feet rearward and in a relatively close pile. I can only say relatively close as we picked up the brass every couple of shots to help keep from losing any of it. Upper was complete AAC 300 BLK 9" upper, lower was factory LMT full auto lower. Buffer was either factory LMT or a LaFrance unit I got from Tim when he sold out his inventory. I can check if you are curious.

I have a box but never tried it. - I only tried it because it came with the upper and I needed to sight in the Aimpoint prior to testing these rounds on feral hogs/wild boars in OK coming up soon. I got 200 rounds of the 110gr 30 SBR bullets from Barnes this week and will load them up in LC 556 cases once my dies from Forster arrive. If I am fortunate enough to have any of these rounds hit hogs, I will post a "post mortum" with photos and such. After I get my dies, I will try both the 110 SBR Barnes bullets and the 125 Nosler Ballistic Tips and hopefully compare each of them on hogs and deer.

Yes, please post the weight of your buffer and report if you have a normal spring. I like to remove the lower and put it on a scale and push on the buffer until it moves 1mm and read the scale. A normal spring should indicate 5.3 to 6.3 lbs.

Was a silencer on when you shot the 220? Which one?

Did you see the gel tests? I would pick the 110 V-MAX over the 125 Nosler for a 9 inch barrel even for hunting. Impact from your 9 inch barrel will be at a lower velocity than in the gel tests, so penetration should be more than the 12 inches of the gel test.

A normal spring should indicate 5.3 to 6.3 lbs. - Buffer and spring are factory LMT "H" buffer and factory spring.

Was a silencer on when you shot the 220? Which one? - Yes, 762SD transferred to me from AAC in the last few months so current production. All shooting was done with this can attached.

I will try the 110 V-MAX's. What would you prefer in the 16" version? I will read through the gel tests.

For lead bullets, still the 110 V-MAX if you are further away or want it for lighter skinned animals or self defense. For tough animals, perhaps Nosler or Sierra game King.

Barnes 110 SBR for 16 inch hunting where you need to go deep and have the bullet not blow apart.

I can't wait to see your results. We should have a hunting contest next year.

Thanks for the info! I will post details after we hunt. Hopefully, we won't get skunked.

Thanks,

I doubt it, this is the quote from Darren

"Really? This is a special purpose cartridge. It like 300 W or FB will have the range of of BB gun and the trajectory of a lawn dart. Valid for limited special missions in short guns as it will suppress fairly well.

The 6.8 SBR has the range of a combat carbine in a very short package.

The whole idea behind 6.8 PSD is that it can replace 3 guns with 1 with very little compromise (PDW, Subgun, Carbine). I guess we will go back to the days where every special missions unit will have 10 guns, one for each mission.

Good on em. If they can make it mainstream, that is great, but a cartridge like this in a short gun is only a small step up from a subgun really limiting is use. It wont penetrate well, and it will have limited range both from both the flight ballistic and terminal effectiveness standpoint. As 300LW said, we messed about quite a bit with 300W, and you can only get so much juice out of this setup."

Also, I think they are not looking at the supersonic capabilities of the 300BLK. It's like they are stuck on the idea that it's only a subsonic caliber. Isn't it pretty much the same (in the end) as the 7.62x39? The ballistics gel tests certainly didn't look bad, but what do I know?

I think they looked at it a few years ago, decided it was not viable due to lack of ammo, and so went with 6.8 for their 8" PSD. It was a smart decision at the time.

You can add Selph Arms LLC to the list; we have already completed a 16” upper that I will be taking deer hunting this season. I also believe that our 8” Adams Arms piston upper is the first to be produced as of now.

Ammo prices will be released when Remington is ready to announce them.

As a favor to Remington/AAC, we have made the decision not to publish our prices until their announcement, as a matter of professional courtesy. Our prices will be in line with theirs.

As frustrating as it is to for you to not spill the beans, I have to say that is a classy move. Looking forward to seeing what you all have to offer in 300 BLK 8)
