[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2971545, member: 5412"] I'm in the same boat. I have two unfinished lowers and one unfinished upper in the safe and posted a thread on here about what to build. Got a ton of great suggestions. Thanks to everybody for their input. My preference in guns is small caliber, high velocity. Speed kills. Have not started building anything yet as I can't find anything that is superior to the .243 WSSM that I currently own. Its faster at 1000 yds than the current fan boy 6.5 Grendal, and similar cartridges. Amazingly accurate. Tonight I had a thought.......The .300 blackout/whisper is in vogue now. How can one make that into a high velocity rifle vs it's intended purpose of being slow and really adaptable to a suppressor? Light bulb came on...... how about a 55 grain bullet in a sabot? There are still sabot's out there for sale at a very reasonable cost to do just that. The same thing that Remington did with the Accelerator in 30-30, 30-06, and .308 that puts the 55 grain over 4000 fps. They had accuracy issues, but remained in their inventory until a couple of years ago. Problem IMHO was the twist in the rifles was not what the .55 grain needed to stabilize. So, If a person ordered a .300 blackout barrel with say a 1-9 twist, that could turn into a screamer? Just rambling in my thoughts, but it sounds like an interesting build. [/QUOTE]
