"I can shoot 300BLK 500 yards" .... No, you can't...

I want to say that I have been looking into 300BLK since it was introduced by Robert Silvers back in 2013. I completely understand that it was meant to replace the mp5 for low signiture ops by highly specialized units. If the marketing stated it was only a 200m gun and left it at that, I wouldnt be making this post. All kinds of charts were used to show the round beats 556 in energy transfer, while only having 'minimal' amounts of drop. Travis Haley even made a video on 300BLK, where he claims to just "use holds" to extend the range of 300BLK too 750m (shown in video at 7:10).

Granted I dont actually own a 300BLK upper, but I have experience with my 10.5 and think its a 350M gun. The steel just stops moving much, and I dont think holding super high to get hits is 'combat effective' either. I was so happy when 9 hole reviews put up thier own take on 300BLK, and even shoot it with a 556 reticle to show the real comparison in drop. What I like most about their channel is that they have ran the exact same course of fire with so many other firearms you can make a easy comparison to other calibers. After watching the 9 hole video I am much less caliber curious, and will just keep feeding the 10.5 556 gun I already own.
