One of the things with JDJ and SSK, they have a long history of producing proprietary cartridges, meaning the exact dimensions are considered "trade secret" .300-Whisper was one of those, made from a .221 fireball case, necked up. When AAC used a cut-down 5.56 case and submitted it to SAAMI, they had a winner on their hands, the only thing more common than .22LR and 9mm brass on most ranges is 5.56 brass. so now anyone could cut-down that brass to make .300BLK brass. Everyone could make barrels, and bullets and ammo for it. So it got adopted widely, and almost immediately. I still really like my 5.56 and that's my go to, but my .300BLK just makes me giggle.

I've got a few barrels in the 300 whisper precursor that I've been shooting since 2008. Now switched over the 300BLK as you can actually buy everything you need commercially. I have a variety of progressive hearing loss and have tried to shoot everything suppressed, but aside from 22lr, the 300BLK is by far the easiest rifle round to get on target out to 150 yards. Since I only hunt out to about 75 yards, no question: I use it every time. My next favorite hunting round is suppressed 458 SOCOM, but those pricey little cigars only make a difference for bigger game.

Have heard the platform compared to the Vietnam Era. 45acp hushpuppy. May not have the speed of a .9mm or .556, but when 260gr of lead hits home, there's no question about the stopping power, and mitigation of over-penetration. Aside from the obvious unique application by high speed door kickers, it makes for an outstanding home defense platform. Cool video man. Thanks for serving. 🇺🇸👍

If you have ever seen the night time raid from Sicario: Day of The Soldado where they capture Bashir, that is why they need 300 blackout subsonic or the Russian 9x39 equivalent. Otherwise, the entire village would have been alerted as soon as the first guy dropped.

3:33 edit: The .300 blk does not have more powder loaded into it. In fact it has less due to the shorter case capacity and longer projectile, albeit a faster burning powder needed for a shorter barrel. (.300 BLK reaches mostly complete burn at 8" barrel, vs 12" for the 5.56) It is the weight of the bullet (often 2-3 times as much weight as a normal 55gr or 62 gr 5.56 NATO round) which causes any increase in felt recoil due to the inertia which can be countered some with proper gas tuning and a heavier weight buffer. (Edit: this last bit was partially incorrect cause I forgot something lol, see comments from @Savage2Flinch below:) [Also, a suppressor doesn't really mitigate recoil through trapping/redirecting gases like a compensator or muzzle break, it does it through added weight on the end of the barrel.]

@Savage2Flinch

2 жыл бұрын

The weight of the bullet is NOT what accounts for most of the recoil in a firearm. It's the gasses which jet out of the muzzle, usually overtaking the bullet over a short distance. It's something known as the "rocket effect". If this weren't the case, then a muzzle break wouldn't work. Think about it.

@Savage2Flinch

2 жыл бұрын

More specifically, it's not a reaction against the inertia of the accelerating bullet, but simply the firearm behaving like a rocket for a short time when high velocity gases jet out the front of the muzzle. And a suppressor (a.k.a. silencer) can reduce recoil by up to 60%, simply by slowing down the gasses. That's how silencers work, and that's why a muzzle break is still loud, despite it redirecting gasses: a silencer slows the gasses down by causing them to be reflected back on themselves by the baffles inside. The kinetic energy of the gases is turned into heat, and the gases exit subsonically behind the bullet, instead of in a supersonic cone in front, reducing both recoil and report.

@skyofstorms

2 жыл бұрын

@@Savage2Flinch That's partially correct but you're forgetting that the mass of the projectile itself plays heavily into that equation, especially when it comes to felt recoil which is what I was talking about. A 300blk or even like a .44 mag handgun round with less powder and therefore less gas and expansion has more felt recoil than a 5.56 despite the 5.56 having a higher chamber pressure so if it were solely dictated by the expansion of gasses then this would not be the case. Due to the equal and opposite reaction of accelerating a heavier mass, the initial recoil impulse delivered into the shooter's shoulder before any mitigation by buffer, recoil pad, etc, is larger. Where gas comes back into play is the burn rate and velocity of the cartridge which speed + mass = increase in inertia and increase in felt recoil. I do admit that I forgot about the effect of the suppressor turning the gasses subsonic though lol.

@dutchrjen

2 жыл бұрын

@@Savage2Flinch The recoil is due to the m v that leaves the barrel. Mass times velocity is m v. Both the bullet and the gasses affect the m v as both have mass and both have velocity. The gasses will move the same speed as the bullet and the mass of that bunch of gas is roughly equal to the powder burned (although not all the gas leaves the end of the barrel and some may move backwards for a semi-automatic). Usually the bullet weighs more than the powder. Recoil is in physics term the m v and it's always just plain old m v "Felt recoil" is a force F = m a and this is how fast the recoil is absorbed. A recoiling slide or bolt lengthens the time the recoil is absorbed lessening the max force felt. A muzzle brake reduces recoil by diverting some gas sideways or backwards. Typically this recoil reduction is 40% or less but this varies for each round type. The energy of a bullet is 1/2 m v^2. This means for any given energy a larger v and a smaller m will have a smaller product m times v. This means that light high speed bullets have a lot less recoil per unit energy than a heavy slow bullet (if they're approximately the same muzzle energy).

@Savage2Flinch

2 жыл бұрын

​@@dutchrjen I agree for the most part. You got the muzzle break right, but I would put 60% of the recoil in the gas, because it's moving faster than the bullet. It has to. It's under pressure, even at the muzzle. If that weren't the case, then near the end of the barrel the gas pressure would be negligible. So the gas has a higher kinetic energy per unit mass, and kinetic energy is proportional to the square of velocity, so the difference matters.

Excellent presentation. Wonderful embedded humor! 👍❤️

35 years ago I was involved in Firearms retail and spent a lot of time sitting around reading through whatever was at hand in the store. We would hand load ammunition to use in the range downstairs so inevitably I read a lot about ballistics. Too much in fact. Even back then the talk was about 9 mm versus 40 cal which led me to think along the lines of a 40-cal MP5 or even 30 carbine to upgrade the weapons effectiveness. Then years later when I read about 300 Blackout when it first appeared I said that's it, there's your serious MP/carbine ammo.

the Russians have a junk army, but they actually came out with the concept first 9x39mm. They were smart enough to make the round so that it would not chamber in an AK-47 . That's the real problem with .300 BLK, it will chamber in an M4.

I've been using a .300 BLK in an AR platform for a few years for daylight hog hunting. I love the 120 grain ballistics but you have to be very precise if you want to drop the hog within a decent distance. I switched to 220 grain subsonic, which I had no idea there would be so much of a drop difference. Once I figured that out, I could whack feral hogs with that thing better than Robert DeNiro with a baseball bat.

Great video, but it seemed more about the MCX then the 300BLK. Bummer as the round works beautifully in other platforms. To include 6 and 9 inch AR variants.

Very interesting thing about the rounds and the magazines because that's actually what held up the first semi automatic weapons for infantry as well. France poured tons of effort, money and time into trying to make an auto loader work but the 8mm lebel with its massive taper made magazines incredibly difficult. Only the half circle Chauchat magazine and eventually saying "5 rounds is enough" and using en-bloc clips allowed them to temporarily reach semi auto status. When I heard that the ammo was actually a block for this I did a double take. I thought that would have been an issue of the past by now, but shows that good mechanical fundamentals are always the most important step before anything flashy.

I think SOCOM now has some new special 220gr projectiles with a Tungsten core for subsonic close range body armor penetration. I think it's the same projectile they wanted for the 300 Norma Mag sniper rifle.

I remember when .300 BLK first came out. I picked up two Umlaut AR’s (made in NH where I was living at that point in time) and fitted them with OSS cans. I had never owned a suppressed rifle before and everything else I had was 5.56 or 7.62x51 and 39 and I was told that 5.56mm didn’t suppress well and at that point in time financially it wasn’t an option for me. Anyways after putting a few hundred rounds down range out of both of them (one is an SBR and one has a 16” barrel) I was absolutely blown away. Compared to the M4 I had during OIF even without a can, the performance was night and day.

Love your videos. I'm 3 minutes and 31 seconds into this one and I just have to make some clarifications..... I think I built my first AR in 300 AAC in 2012 not long after SAAMI approval, but 300 Whisper has been around a lot longer still--not 2015 when SIG/Sig USA may have started overzealously marketing it or whatever. AAC pushed it through SAAMI, not "Sig". There is more powder in a 5.56 case than there is in a 300 AAC case. I have loaded tens of thousands of them. Depending on the powder and projectile combo, subsonic Blackout contains a bit less than half the weight of powder in grains when compared to a 5.56x45mm. The increased felt recoil from a subsonic Blackout is because the projectile weighs four times as my as a 55gr .244 proje' from a 5.56. Love your channel keep up the good work.

i built my own blackout around three years ago but since we're not allowed to have "mufflers" in california, i went with the super sonic, 16" barrel configuration. one of the main issues i saw with the blackout was the cyclic problems of this system. looking further into the problem, the obvious conflict was running 220 gr rounds with a pistol length gas system without a suppressor. my build was a full on rifle length gas tube where the first thing done was drill out the gas port to .125" and put on an adjustable block. on the other end, an adjustable buffer which got set up as H3 to start. making my own loads using .308/125 gr tips, i was hitting targets at 200 yards without malfunctions unsuppressed. no weight adjustments on the buffer and none to the gas block. if you don't have to be 'quiet', i recommend this build because you can hit hard until you run out of ammo and if needed, press two pins, swap to a 5.56 NATO upper, carry on the fight using the same ammo and mags as those around you. this is not something you can do with a 7.62 x 39 platform.

I made my own 300BLK rounds from .556 cases. It was a process. I had to anneal the cases after cutting them down then again after resizing them. This way I could use a variety of brass brands. I loaded most of them subsonic with a 208gr bullet. Love that round for home defense.

I was long out of SF and the Army when we got a few SMG size .300 Blackouts, but I did get to shoot on both semi and auto. AWESOME toy! After that I bought one, minus the auto feature. The ones that they had a few samples of were by Q, the Honey Badger, and the same one that I bought. It really is like magic, but I hated buying 2 tax stamps.

I followed a guy growing up who had built a number of .300 AR variants working the bugs out of the system. It's cool to see what has come out of the .300 Blackout. Most folks don't know or understand the amount of work that enthusiasts go through to get these wildcats out of the loading shack into the wild. At that point most loads fail to have a strategic purpose: it's cool to see .300 Blackout has been found to be handy. We know the future of combat is likely to take us into deep, dark, confined spaces, so it appears as though it has a future.

I having been loading 300 blackout for several years. I run a AAC 7.62 SDN can on an AR platform and a Rem. 700 tactical chassis. Nothing is more silent than a 300 blackout bolt rifle. With all of the different .30 cal bullets around the choices are endless.

I have a 300 Blackout on an AR platform. I use it for both hogs and deer. I would not use it for hunting for shots over 200 yards, but inside that the supersonic rounds have plenty of punch. It's ballistics are similar to the 7.62x39 AK round. There is a big difference in the sound between the supersonic and subsonic ammo - that supersonic crack is very noticeable. With the subsonic rounds you can hear the bullet hit the target. I really like the round. It is enough for east Texas hunting and is very versatile.

His content is awesome, and he totally blew up - but what I love about him is that he's just a normal guy like us, just clueing us civvies into the military stuff he knows. (And showing us all the shiny awesome toys that his newfound status as a top-notch military channel gives him access to now!)

@@BaritoneMonkey I have been subbed for few months now and agree with what you said. Have a great day!

Great Job !

I live in Commifornia so I'm limited to a 16" barrel and I've been shooting it out to 200 yards and love it

I love the 300 Blk out ! I use it in a suppressed Sig Rattler ! You might want to talk about the 458 SOCOM also ! It was quietly developed after Mogadishu by certain Special Forces units to kill insurgents high on drugs !

458 Socom is fun to shoot but it's not really that cool. Super loud suppressed with subs due to bore size.
