[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2897003, member: 5412"] I'm not harshing the buzz of anybody, and don't want to cause an issue, but just some thoughts from me. Feel free to disagree. The .300 blackout is perfect for suppression. I've been into rifle shooting, mainly hunting, and recently competitions, but I'm constantly amazed at all of the different calibers out there that duplicate the same ballistics as the venerable 30-06. I know its not in vogue now, one must shoot a 5. something, 6.something, or 7.something to be with the cool kids. The gun/bullet manufacturers love you. People rave about the 6.5 something hitting 2500fps with a 120 grain. Others rave their 7. something will hit 3000fps with a 140 grain. etc. The 06 will do the same with a 165 grain, with more kenetic energy at the end depending on the bullet design. Close to 3500 fps with a 120 grain. I guess my point is that bullets have evolved with higher BC's and fly better than bullets just a few years ago. I'm amazed at the accuracy of guns off the shelf now vs 20 years ago. Yeah, I've got the 5.somethings, and the 6.somethings, but when I'm looking at an elk 500 yds away, that 06 is the go-to. Flame suit on. Hammer away. lol. [/QUOTE]
