[QUOTE="APH Tactical, post: 2911848, member: 40946"] For the most part, yes, that is correct. A 9" 300BLK will carry quite a bit more energy than a 5.56 in the same length and the loss in velocity on 300 from 14.5-16" is negligible. And don't get me wrong, I am a HUGE endorser of the 300 cartridge and I (along with my assistant, the 2011 Travis Haley video) actually recieve quite a bit of business doing conversions from 5.56/223 to 300 Blackout, but once again, a firearm of any type is a tool. If you're looking for something to enjoy and take to the range or hunting, IMO you're not going to beat the blackout. If you're looking for something to suppress later, again, 300 is the optimal cartridge. But... if you're seeking a long term, zombie busting(my absolute favorite SHTF analogy) CQB tool, unless you are planning on buying 10k rounds of 300BLK to set aside before that happens, you may want to take a stronger look at the more popular round as 300BLK will be absolutely impossible to find on any shelf roughly 48hrs after said event begins. Reguardless, if you are looking to suppress in the very near future, you may want to think about a dedicated-suppressed upper. In the near future, we at APH Tactical, are actually looking to begin manufacturing dedicated-suppressed URs in 5.56, 300BLK and 7.62, selling them as kits that include lightweight BCG, as well as the buffer and buffer spring used while dialing in the gas system. Benefits being that you are not just slapping a silencer on a hobby gun; the end user now has a completely reliable and accurate weapon system that was literally born suppressed. Additionally, as the system now boasts a 16-18" barrel as per ATF regulations, there is no need for the additional tax stamp on your lower to SBR. The downside of course is that though you can move the upper from lower to lower, you would not have the ability to move the suppressor from one completed firearm to another. Mike [/QUOTE]
