So...is there a wildcat round that...


Recommended Posts

Is like a 300 blackout but using a 308 case? Something shooting a big honkin bullet but that could possibly be loaded to subsonic velocity?

 

It looks like I am going to find myself with a AR10 to build. I already have a standard M&P10, a precision 308 built on the CMT chassis and am almost done with a 308 SBR

 

If the TGO 308 comes to pass I thought about doing something cool and different even though I really don't need to add another cartridge to load. Possibly the answer is to just load a standard 308 to subsonic velocity and tune the gas and buffer spring to cycle the weapon correctly.

 

But, something spitting out a big old piece of lead is holding a certain appeal.

 

I guess I need to look around and see what suppressors are offered as well. Not much sense in loading something subsonic if I can't suppress it.

 

Anyway, thanks in advance for any info offered.

 

Mark

A gentleman by the forum name BTsniper on castboolits has done .40-06 and .40-08. The .35's get best ROI with bullet weight versus velocity. But subsonic changes that quickly.

The 45Raptor brass and barrels are available. Uses 460s&w dies and load data. Edited by Jct1911
