Why I'm Done With 300 Blackout
Honest Outlaw is moving away from 300 Blackout after a decade, citing its high cost and limited terminal power compared to 5.56 NATO. While effective in short barrels and with suppressors, reliability issues arise when switching ammo types, and the risk of magazine mix-ups with 5.56 is a significant concern. The reviewer finds 5.56 or .308 better for his rural needs, and 9mm/.45 ACP for quiet shooting.
