Accuracy? plenty accurate for all but the nuts who need to put 10 rounds into a 5 cent piece at 200 meters. The Ruger by the way with its 16" barrel is amazingly accurate for such a "fad" cartridge and low cost rifle.

Except the .350 Legend, although it is an excuse to get another Ruger American

Just like the Mardi Gra, the 300 BK also has its place, you keep convincing yourself mate

vmaxaust wrote:The truth is, there are frankly no seriously useless cartridges. People go out and buy a flavour of the month rifle in the latest fad calibre all the time. Unless they chose incorrectly for their very specific application, they all shoot, can be reloaded and to some degree developed for the individual rifle. Yes maybe a person could have done slightly better in accuracy, maybe better from the viewpoint of cost of ammo if not reloading but bottom line the difference between this fad cartridge and rifle versus something else is often bugger all in the real world.
I love my 300BLK, my 303's and my 223's because they suit my needs and enjoyment better than anything else. That's me! For someone else the opposite may be true. Still does not justify bagging any calibre as a fad or a useless cartridge.
in2anity wrote:I'll say it once, i'll say it again, it's a handloader's cartridge. It reloads with the ease of a pistol carrtridge, has excellent case life, runs super economically and has a disgusting amount of projectile choice. It brings a lot of joy to the experimental type. Once you reload for it you catch the bug.
