Honest Outlaw is moving away from 300 Blackout after a decade, citing its high cost and limited terminal power compared to 5.56 NATO.

The reviewer finds 5.56 or .308 better for his rural needs, and 9mm/.45 ACP for quiet shooting.

Security contracting offers significant financial rewards, with daily rates potentially exceeding $1,000, and lifestyle perks like generous time off and high-quality amenities.
