    308mate liked post by JaSa On thread : 18" 6.5 Creedmoor - anyone loading for one? what FPS can I expect?
    Got mine cut to 20" with DPT and can push the 143gr Eld-X 2605fps and the 135gr A-Tip around the 2750 but haven't settled on a final load here yet. The 2605fps is with 40gr of AR2209 and could go up...

    The whole suppressor is 318g but I’ve used it on a 6mmCM with the middle part out and was still very effective I thought and that weighs 226g Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Just my trusty little Ruger Ranch 556 moved into a Magpul stock. Has a Mark4 2.5-8x on top with TMR reticle. Will give it a go with MDT mags, but as soon as the new Magpul 223 10 rounders are...

    308mate liked post by Beetroot On thread : 300 Blackout barrel length
    The only real reasons to go 300blk are either to suppress is or to shoot it in an AR. If suppressing is not an option you may aswell go for 6.5 Grendel or one of the other cartridges you mentioned....

    308mate liked post by Nick-D On thread : 300 Blackout barrel length
    If your not going suppressed keep a bit of barrel on it to tame the muzzle blast/noise a bit. 12 is LOUD without a can. 16 to 18 would be a good compromise still be handy as. I agree with Bill...
