    I am not sure how this bullet ended up this way.

    I am assuming that is a .300 BLK? If so, it is likely a long OTM bullet where the jacket peeled back, but the velocity was low enough that the jacket did not fully fold back against the bullet base--kind of like a super TSX

    3. Military optimal penetration bullet, along the lines of Mk318/Mk319 SOST.
    4. Match bullet. Optimized for accuracy.
    Have we seen any of these loads released to the market yet?

    1. ?
    2. ?
    3. ?
    4. Rem 125 gr OTM?

    Any word on the Barnes 110 gr 300BLK specific bullets and how they are working?

    Spooky

    1. Rem AccuTip or Atlanta Arms 125. Both will be out this year.
    2. Not as a bonded, but as a solid copper from Barnes soon. December or January.
    3. No. But probability will happen in 2012.
    4. Yes, the Rem Match ammo.

    I can't answer that until someone shows me a 300 Whisper(R) drawing from SSK - which to this day I have never seen. As far as I know, it is unpublished and a trade secret.

    I can say that Hornady considers their 300 Whisper ammo safe to use in a 300 BLK chamber, as they specifically made their ammo to be within 300 BLK specs.

    We have been playing around with the 300 at work with good results, at least against paper targets.

    Our 7.62-SDN-6 cans performed very well not only on our Noveske 8" upper, but also on our 5.56 carbines and a LWRC REPR. It seems to be the "can do all" can that we are looking for.

    Ammo used was the subsonic Remington, and the CMMG 147 grain plinking ammo. The Remington performed well, and even the CMMG was surprising acceptable considering they used pulled M80 rounds to make em.

    I picked up a CMMG 300 upper in a trade and it also worked very well, despite the fact that the cotter pin was out of spec and would not go flush into the carrier. I am not a big fan of CMMG and was hesitant to acquire it. I need to put more rounds through it to trust for anything other than hog hunting.

    It should be noted that the 300 may accidentally be chambered into a 5.56 gun as documented on the Lightfighter.net forums. The bullet was pressed back into the cartridge upon chambering, and destroyed the weapon when fired. Thus, care must be taken if both calibers are in your inventory.

    Overall, I am very impressed with the 300 and we will continue to test it once the coming months. The 7.62-SDN-6 suppressor was simply outstanding.
