.300 Blackout build questions
724wd:
So I'm looking hard at a .300 BLK build. Intended use will be hunting close-range whitetail. Contemplating a suppressor so my daughter (who won't shoot anything louder than a .22lr) would be willing to shoot it. White and black Star Wars theme so my son is excited about it.
is a 16" barrel in a rifle configuration a good performer, or should I look to a pistol-type build with a brace? If a suppressor was in the cards, does that change your recommendation?
NWShooter:
A 16” barrel would get you a little more velocity than a pistol length barrel. I would opt for the most velocity you can get for hunting. I have shot deer with the Blkout, my rifles had 16” barrels. A six positions stock will make the length of pull user friendly for pretty much everyone. 16” is great and easier on some of the new short , ultra light suppressors. A M4 contour barrel is really light also as compared to let’s say a standard contour barrel.
konradcountry:
I've shot 300 black in both rifle and pistol.
Pistol takes a little more technique so I wouldn't get one for young or new shooters.
I wouldn't bother with suppressed for hunting deer. Too many issues. You can find forums where people are handloading 300 black just to get decent accuracy at 50 yards.

What “Issues” would one have with a suppressor on a 16” Blkout?

Accuracy if you want to shoot both sub and super. You run into fewer problems if you optimize for one or the other. Plenty of forums out there describing this problem.
I really like 300 Black but it is pickier than 223 when it comes to bullet type/barrel/twist. For hunting in Wa I would just forget about subs.
