There are some interesting new rounds recently. Has anyone tried any of them?

I haven’t tried it but the new 6.5 PRC is superior to the Creedmore. It got into the game a little late to replace it though. But you never know, .222 mag replaced the popular .222 and then the .223 stepped on it.

I’ve been looking a the 5:56 and was thinking hard about getting one with the Economic Boost Check but The Wife had Me look closer at The Economic Ratio between that Gun and NICE SILK DOILIES FOR EVERY TABLE IN THE HOUSE AND ASSURED Me IT WAS THE DOILIES.

She did donate the old Doilies to the Target Range, when one of My Gun Buddies was allowed to make one..😷.

My son built a .300 blackout “pistol”. But it in reality looks like an AR. Folding stock and a short barrel. He also put a sound suppressor on it.

Firing regular .300 loads through it sounds like an AR. The suppressor helps quite a bit. He put some subsonic rounds through it with the suppressor on.

“pffft”

“Did that fire?”

“Well - it made some noise - so it must have.”

Was perhaps equal to or even quieter than a pellet gun pumped up 10 times.

As to how the round performs I have no idea. He was hitting bottles and cans at 100 feet with no problem. I read where the round is better in short-barrelled firearms than the .223.
