Thread: 300 BLK AR Replacement - Plan B iteration #27

I think I'm going to go 7.62x39, I've got a Howa Mini set aside at a LGS but have to decide by close of play tomorrow. Its got just a smidge more oomph an the BLK, enough I feel to be effective on Red's out to 180-200M - it looks like with CFE-BLK powder 2500+ fps can be gotten in a bolt gun with 125gn projectiles.

Several guys in the States have written up reports on using 308 dia projectiles in the CZ or Howa's .310 bore with excellent accuracy results which offers a wider range of projectile choice. To cap it off Nosler are producing a ballistic tip boat tail 123gn speciffically designed for 7.62x39. I think I'm talking myself into it . . . .
