    300 Blackout Precision Cartridge?

    Looking to glean some info from anyone who's had some more experience with the cartridge than I have. I'm shooting a 16" BCM 300blk with 1/7"twist. Basically I'm looking for the 300blk equivalent of Mk262: the off the shelf cartridge that's going to yield about 1MOA given shooter ability.

    Thanks

    Believe it or not, with a bit of handloading included, one of my best groups was with Remington 115 gr. UMC ammo out of my 8.2" Noveske. Maybe it was just luck, but for my rifle it shoots great. Unfortunately, they seemed to have discontinued that size bullet.

    You may give their 120 gr. a try. I haven't, but I'm assuming it would be close.

    My accuracy with any of the Barnes offerings has been good, as I would expect with Premium hunting type ammo.

    125g Sierra Match Kings. I dont know if you can purchase loaded ammo with this bullet in it. Maybe from one of the boutique loaders.

    I have heard from a certain source that Barnes 110g black tips are .5 MOA capable, but that was out of fixtured test barrels that were, IMO, very very high quality. Supposedly factory loads doing random batch testing.

    I don't think there is a one size fits all for your question. However I have also had surprisingly good accuracy out of the Remington UMC in 115 gr load as well in my 16" Noveske. The brass has actually been of very good quality as well. I have been meaning to try some of the 120 gr.
