I prefer Vaultek on them, I have had good success with them. Disclaimer on the bio safes: they do not always read the finger print. It is worse on cheaper options, better success rates with higher end. With my VaulTek it’s pretty close to 100%, there have been times it hasn’t opened. So have a well memorized pin backup. |
all good info.

I'm guessing recoil wasn't high on this guy's priority list:

With C.A.R you need to remember it’s designed for up close quarters, one of its original uses was inside cars or cramped rooms. You will still need to develop your shooting stance for longer distance as well. C.A.R is a good tool for you to have but it wasn’t designed and shouldn’t be used for a main stance.

Anybody have (or shoot) the .300 blackout? What’s your take?

It's fun. As a HD it's more than adequate, IMO. Maybe has its uses as a close-in brush gun (relatively thin-skinned game) or even a varmint rifle, if you don't mind the expense of the ammo. He says it's finicky about ammo though. He spent some time buying different brands and weights (he doesn't reload) to find ammo that would cycle reliably. I forget the exact brand/model now, but he's always bought higher end guns, so it's not some cheap POS. If I remember later, I'll ask him what he's got. |

Good call on this one, I had forgotten all about it. |

.300AAC Blackout doesn't look like it's got the range of a typical .308 or 6.5CM so I figured it could be a good plinker as well as a good gun to keep in the truck. But the ammo just seems odd. I mean it just seems odd to consciously decide to slow bullets down that much. I recently started reloading so your description makes it sound like this would be a good gun for reloading. While ammo doesn't seem super expensive, dialing in a good round is fun. |

Of course you could always try to just buy 300 blackout brass, but if I remember correctly, it runs around $.30 per piece. Which is a little pricey. However, it may be a relatively low pressure round, so you may get multiple reloads out of each piece. I wouldn’t know about that. Just a few things to consider. Good luck with whatever you decide. |

I started reloading with my son because he really wants to reload. I started with .30/06 because it's extremely common and I figured that it would be a good place to start. I've also got several friends who reload and have been helping us and giving us advice. So far we've done pretty well and have reloaded some 6.5 Creedmore. One of these days I'll reload some .416 Rigby rounds but right now the powder cupboards at my local shop are really low and so getting powder has been a major issue. I have deliberately started at the lowest amounts of powder listed in Lyman's book. I know it doesn't take but a few grains of extra powder to destroy a rifle and potentially cause a great deal of damage. |
