True, most targets aren't hunted at long distances and I have rifles for long distance should I need them. Nonetheless, I was really tepid about the .300 blackout.
Then I started reading about the .300 HAMR. Wilson added more powder to the blackout and put 7.62 rounds out of an AR-15 frame at about 2400fps. Range goes from about 100-ish yards to about 250-ish yards. And the round was just SAAMI approved, although nobody has ammo or powders up here.
I've found a way to get some ammo up here so I will post updates once I take it to the range. But it's configured as an AR pistol with an 11.2" barrel and arm brace. I built it on a Sharps Brothers lower that I had cerokoated.

That's a pretty cool lower
