300 Blackout (7.62x35)

300 Blackout is the modern iteration of .300 Whisper, a wild cat cartridge that was developed in the 1990’s. 300 Blackout as we know it today is constructed with a .308 projectile loaded into a shortened .223 brass case. 300 Blackout fits into standard 5.56/.223 AR-15 magazines. 

The caliber is a common chambering for AR-15’s as well as bolt action style rifles. Common projectile weights for this caliber range between 110 grains and 220 grains. Most sub sonic loads will have a 188 grain or heavier projectile. Fast twist rate barrels will help stabilize the flight path of heavier sub-sonic projectiles.
