deercrazy Report post Posted November 18, 2011 Got an email newsletter from Smith and Wesson yesterday, and did some internet reading about the .300 Whisper/.300 AAC Blackout round. Does anyone have any first hand experience with these rounds? Sounds like an AR based, 30-30 ballistic equivalent,short range round. I see that Hornaday and remington, as well as a few others are making the round, but looks like $22-35 per 20 round box. Expensive imho for what you get. Any insite would be welcomed. I am interested in an AR style rifle in something other than .223. Thanks, Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only good up to a couple hundred yards when loading the 200 plus grn bullets. If you want to go with a AR bases gun in a bigger caliber I would not do the 300 whisper (IMO) but turn to a company called dtech. I am actually in the process of having a 25 caliber built in a AR15 platform. I know he has done a 7mm and a 300 cartridge that do great.

missedagain Report post Posted November 18, 2011 I think that is correct the whisper and the 450 bushmaster are large calliber subsonic rounds meant to be used with a suppressor, unless you are going to get a silencer I don't know why you would want these rounds.

Couzer Report post Posted November 19, 2011 300 whisper is deadly quiet with a silencer and probably sounds like a .22lr with out it beacause its not breaking the sound barrier! I want one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
