[QUOTE="ATH, post: 2889677, member: 1656"] My primary intent was to shoot subsonics large enough I felt comfortable hunting deer with them, and 300BLK I was not comfortable with. I already had SOCOM gear as I have an AR15 chambered in the round. I don't plan to shoot supers through it, but I could, and if I did, it would still be a great short range thumper with higher energy. With 325s it keeps up with 45-70. For a sub-150yd gun the big bores are hard to beat. As a bonus it fits a 308 bolt face and it didn't take much to get it to feed from 308 mags. The short case length was the most difficult part. It angles steeply off the ejector so that made it a bit finicky. With the factory ejector it actually jammed on the bolt face due to the rim to fat case body dimension. The M16 extractor fixed all this. [/QUOTE]
