To be honest, I've been hearing all the raving about the 300BLK but I cast it in the same pile as the 6.8 and 6.5...wildcat rounds that wouldn't see the light of day and rounds I couldn't be bothered with.
Then we have the additional factor of me being suspicious of the firearm manufacturers. They will push products that have no advantage over whats already out there and are simply trying to push sales.
Want proof? DI AR-15's vs. Gas. A false choice in my opinion. If I wanted a full size battle rifle I certainly wouldn't be picking up an M4 clone and then bastardize it further by adding every dangle I could off it until it weighed as much as an M-14.
But I digress.
What has me about to take a serious look at the 300BLK is an article from Elements of Power by my boy SMSgt Mac. He got on the bandwagon so I said to myself hmmmmm....
Then we have an article by Military Times GearScout that says some ole' boy from the US Army Marksmanship team actually won with the damn thing.
Yep, its time to go to the local gun store and take one out for a test drive...Google the hell outta of it and see if its time to add to my armory.
