300 Blackout AR15

LOL, well you definitely picked a good source to teach you about the 300BLK.
I love my PWS in 300BLK. With a 9.75 inch barrel and my handloads I can make 10 shot groups bordering on MOA @ 100yds with my 110gr v-max load. Probably better if I could just learn to take my time between squeezes
Once I figured out my powders and loads my AR can cycle loads from 110gr v-max all the way through 208gr A-max.
The only downside, which is also an upside in a way is getting brass. Factory brass is not easy to come by but it can be made out of 223 brass. I have thousands of pieces of 223 but the conversion process is time consuming. I've made 700 so far so I should be good for a while.
Definitely get yourself a brass catcher
I've posted some data in the reloading section with Suputin's thread and in a couple others outlining my findings with load development for semi auto's in 300BLK, PM me when you get one if you have any questions about loads.

I am hooked on the 300BLK. Brass is simple to do,just need a good system to get lots done fast
Oh no, I've created a monster.
Note to self: Next time demoing a cool gun to firearm keeners .... bring more ammo!
By the end we were rationing ammo so everyone could have a go.Yep, we covered that as well.
Honestly cutting down 223 is the best way. I have done both and the 221 FB option is way too expensive. I tend to keep the 221 origin brass for use in my bolt gun and run the 223 origin brass in the AR's.
Speak to Rookie{OMC} about brass forming. He has a way that is very quick and he did a ton of cases for me. Maybe he can start up a side business forming Blackout cases for customers.
It was nice to meet you guys. I think it is safe to say everyone had a good time. I apologize if I have forever ruined the shooting experience for you. I just don't see the need to make all that noise. It is ....uncivilized.

Hummm, might be in the cards for next year. I'll definitely need to pickup a brass catcher for this puppy! I'd hate to go chasing down precious brass after every mag change. p

Brass and dies we have a lot of, due to our making many 300 Blackout versions of our AT15s
Remington UMC is less than $20 a box…..
I'm definitely interested in about a 9" 300BLK.
One of the few remaining AR configurations that I want and don't have.
