.300 Blackout's first kill.

[Afalex1]

The 220 round nose just punched through. A squirrel is not a good test medium for that bullet at such low velocities. Something with a little more substance might get the bullet to expand just a little or at least tumble to do more damage.

I don't have experience with a BO. The above is all speculation.

 

[FrankT]

I think subsonic and suppressed the BO is pretty effective, otherwise get a 6.8...but I would like to get one the way it is meant to run.

 

[TEXASLAWMAN]

I know its quiet!

 

[Froggerzack]

Have y'all shot a suppressed .308 subsonic?

 

[TEXASLAWMAN]

Yes I have a bolt .308 subsonic but the twist rate is not enough to stabilize the 200+ gr bullets. It is very quiet though! But not auto!!!

 

[Itsazonik]

all this talk makes me want a suppressor for my 338 spectre. i think that would be a good first suppressor

 

[FrankT]

I think a suppressed AR-10 would be very effective.

 

[TEXASLAWMAN]

I think a suppressed AR-10 would be very effective.

Yes I have one on order! But still the .300 Bo beats it subsonic. Only subsonic though. 1 because or twist rate. 2 because it will cycle subsonic.

Supersonic the .308 and 6.8 leave it in the dust.

 

[FrankT]

If I ever get another AR it will be the 308, suppressed or not, unless your experts tell me there is an as effective round for longer distances than my 6.8(300 yds+) that I don't have to reload for and the ammo is as cost effective also.

 

[rgilbert]

A friend of mine has a Larue 308 with an ACC can on it. Supersonic it sounds like my 223 with a can. I like the weapon except for the weight.

BTW, I did put his can on my 6.8 and that was SWEEEEEEET!

 

[rgilbert]

One more thing. If your going to shoot squirrel's, a 300 BO is great for that. Not much else, but great for that. JUST KIDDING, no hate mails please

 

[TEXASLAWMAN]

I think it's going to be awesome on raccoons!

 

[Froggerzack]

Awesome coon buster!

 

[TEXASLAWMAN]

The blackout has struck again this time with better results! 50 yards DRT through and through wound lol.

 

[Itsazonik]

So you now have a replacement for a .22 huh?

 

[FrankT]

man on man and I thought I did damage without powder 22's.

 

[TEXASLAWMAN]

So you now have a replacement for a .22 huh?

No but its just as quiet lol.

 

[JamesB74]

Greatness!!

 

[Afalex1]

Looks like a headshot. Good work.

 

[Itsazonik]

I'm still wanting to test squirrel vs 300gr Remington
