Well I was switching between my LWRC 6.8 SBR, and my 16" MC5 6.8 but the Noveske guys came down to hunt with me were using sbr blackouts.
I have to say with premium ammo the 300 Blackouts did very well. Now I think our farthest shot was maybe 50 yards and the average shot was close to 20 yards so take that into consideration. Also I do not think one single hog was DRT but they were all rendered incapable of moving so thats good enough for me.
Most of the hogs were single boars that let us get right up on them, we only ran into two groups during the hunt one fairly large sounder of at least 30 that was way stretched out, and a group of five. The large sounder was very spread out thin and mixed in with the calves so we had a very small window to shoot. With a short 3-2-1-fire countdown everyone knocked down at least one hog before they ere in the no fire area.
With the group of five they were on the side of a private ranch road right next to a gate we needed to get through. As we turned a corner approaching the gate they spotted us at the same time I spotted them, luckily they did the whole if we dont move they wont see us thing (big mistake on their part). The Noveske guys were in the back seat so I told them both to get out and use the IR lasers since the hogs were about to run. It was one of the coolest things I've seen in a while they both got out hit their lasers and worked the whole group over, not one hog escaped. From inside the truck it looked like something out of starwars with the select fire ar's, gun smoke, and lasers going everywhere. The sad thing is I did not even try to record it, in fact I only took a few pictures and no video the whole weekend, it was a refreshing change for me but I'm regretting it now.
As for the blackout after watching them hit these hogs it was a total of 27 for the weekend combined I think Im going to give the blackout a spin again. I still think the 6.8 outperforms the 300BO but getting full power (the quivelant of a 30/30) out of a 10" barrel has a certain appeal to me.
