Why not both? Couple supplemental tags
Just curious as to which one he's going to be using. At any rate, a good hunting load of 223 is plenty to down a deer.
Not in Alberta. .243 and up. 223 bullets aren't allowed
As long as you can get in under 200 yards you shouldn't have trouble with any critters north America has to offer.
I don't plan to make any shots on deer beyond 100-150 yards with the 300 blackout and maybe 200 yards max with the 6.8. That shouldn't be a problem though since I don't think I've had to shoot more than 75 yards in the last 5 years to fill my deer tags.
I'm taking the 300BLK out for some load testing tomorrow. I bought some Nosler projectiles to try but haven't had time to load them yet.
Hoping to finish the 6.8 conversion this set off, I have 7 days to try to find time to get the ACR, my 308 and my 45/70 ready for hunting.
Also need to load up some more 338 Lapua and make sure the load I think is working is going to be able to repeat what I saw last time.
Gonna be a busy week, I have 3 new toys I haven't shot yet as well

I got out again the other day and had a chance to do some testing with the ACR and the 300 Blackout barrel. Here is my best load of the day.
Also had a load with LiL'Gun that was virtually the same but I'm having trouble with my phone and think I lost that pic. It should be on my computer though so I'll have a look for it next time I'm on the laptop.

For what it's worth I phoned Bushmaster today about the ACR DMR's. The rep on the phone says they are slated to be in production this October.
So hopefully by Christmas. Man I can't wait for mine.

LOL, They have been promising caliber conversions for 4 years as well.
Don't hold your breath.
If it has the gas parts attached, YUP! Just the barrel, not really at all. In fact, if it's a complete barrel, PM me and I will make you an offer.
If you can find a barrel with midlength gas system you could easily make it work on the ACR. The ACR and the AR both use pretty much identical barrels. My 300BLK barrel doesn't have a saddle cut into it for the op rod guide, I could easily put it in an AR upper if I wanted. I've actually put my 6.8 barrel into an AR upper just so I could assemble my new upper and hand guard to see how it looked.
Don't forget that now that you have your non restricted 450 you can't legally put a restricted length barrel back on it without registering it again. Not even at the range.
The factory 16 inch barrel is a pretty hard sell unless you're willing to let it go cheap. If you put it in the EE mention it will work in an AR.
There is no extended enhanced hanguard, but there is the superior basic hand guard. It is MUCH better. The only option besides the basic and enhanced are after-market hanguards, but they are only available in the states in very small order numbers, and not really able to be imported easily.
Just get the basic handguard. It's excellent.
You're talking about the ACR so it's not off topic at all. This thread is all things ACR
The basic handguard covers a little more barrel and you can add MOE rail sections to it if you want to, there is also a PTS (airsoft) handguard that is even longer. I don't think the PTS one has heat shields though.

Yeah, you need to remove the heat shield from a basic handguard and install it on the PTS hanguard. Frankly, I dont need a hanguard longer than the basic version. I can still extend my arm far enough to get a nice proper thumb-over-bore grip.
I've never had a problem with the basic handguard either. Reach out and square up your shoulders and there is enough length unless you have long gorilla arms, I'm 6 feet tall and it's fine for me.
