[QUOTE="westexhunt, post: 2785706, member: 71281"] My boys are now 15 and 17. I like overthinking and over analyzing everything and I did that when they were younger. I’ve owned at least a dozen 300 blackouts in every conceivable configuration, If you are shooting bad guys in a shoot house it’s perfect. For everything else it’s trash (I’ve hand loaded every bullet from Hornady, Barnes to high dollar solid copper monos etc etc) they don’t go fast enough to be effective past 50 yards. I don’t shoot without a suppressor and haven’t for 10+ yrs. Ended up with a 16” 6.5 Grendel heavy barrel suppressed bolt action in an XLR chassis. The boys shoot everything pretty well now. I still take new hunters out every year and they shoot the same gun (6.5 Grendel) never had a whitetail go over 30 yds and they hardly know the gun ever went off. Not to sound like a pu$$y but 243 and similar are snappy and you aren’t going to see your impacts at 100 yds with lightweight (normal hunting weight) guns. [/QUOTE]
