#10MinuteTalk 

I believe this is the most misunderstood AR cartridge. It deserves to be way more popular than it is.

300 hamr is beast in the AR platform , out shines AK 7.62x39mm performance

Ok, here’s what you missed, I have a 16” model. It’s definitely a reloading cartridge. Brass can be made in the same manner as the 300 BLK. You can actually get a jig for your harbor freight mini chop saw from Etsy of all places. But brass is available from Wilson and Starline. The worst group I’ve ever gotten out of mine is just over an inch @ 100 yards with a 150 grain. The best is under 1/2 inch with 125-130. It’s very consistent. My gun weighs 7 1/2 lbs with scope empty mag and sling. It’s such a joy to carry in the field that it’s become my favorite hunting gun! It will deliver the prerequisite 1000 lbs at 200 yards with all of its loads and further with the 150s. It’s basically a better 30-30 with MOA or better accuracy. Bill Wilson developed it specifically for hunting hogs and it fills the bill. It works great on deer as well. It just needs more love ❤️. Thanks again!

As I understand it, it wasn't Wilson Combat coming out with it as a new idea to sell. It was Bill Wilson looking for the ideal cartridge for his specific hunting needs in a rifle he would want to carry. When he finally got what he wanted (.30-30 performance in an AR-15), they slapped a name on it and started selling it. They already had HAM'R trademarked from their big bore .458 HAM'R so that's why it is called such.

Really not comparable to the 300 blackout......My 300 HAMR 18" wilson combat 15 twist 110 vmax at 2775fps and 130 speer hp at 2600fps. The 300 Ham'r is by far the best 223 based variant and imo the best ar15 cartridge for hunting under 300 yards

Just going to drop my two cents here. I have been hunting with the .300 HAM'R for several years now. I've taken 5 deer with it. I found that the 135 grain HAM'R bonded to be a great all around bullet. Every deer taken has seen a complete pass through with exit holes about the size of golf balls. No deer has run more than 15 yards after being hit with the HAM'R. This past year's buck was over 200lbs and didn't go 15 feet before dropping. Chronograph says the factory 135g HAM'R bonded was cooking at 2450fps at the muzzle. This is a bit over what the box is rated for, but within expected tolerance. For self defense a 125 grain TNT bullet at 2600fps would be awesome home defense. I've loaded some for coyote hunting, I just need to get out there and try them.

I have a 11.3 300 ham'r and I reload it and love it. My primary reason for having this cartridge is it's accuracy I have never had a 300 blackout be better than a 2-3 inch gun at 100yds but my 300 ham'r in a 11.3 is a consistent with factory Wilson loads 1-1.5 inches at 100 and with my loaded 110tsx or Lehigh CC is .75 to 1 inch at 100 yards.

Y’all talked me into getting a 300 Ham’r. I love it! So much fun and now my general All purpose gun. Hog and deer hunting as well as home defense

I was looking to build a 277 Wolverine when 300 Ham'r first landed. Just like you were saying, I didn't want to have to change bolts or magazines for 6.5 grendel or 6.8 spc. I now have 2 Ham'rs and finishing up a 3rd soon. Brass is plentiful and I can still find CFE BLK when all my other powders are out of stock.

I have one and love it! Used dozens of cartridges thru the years for whitetails and the 300 Hamer is my new favorite. Mr Wilson developed this as a hunting round. He pig hunts on his ranch and did extensive testing on the 300 H on pigs and deer. I've killed several deer with it over 3 seasons now and it is everything that Wilson combat says it is. Bought a barrel and ammo from wilson. Installed it on my upper and the first 5 shot group about 1/2 inch. Accurate, mild recoil and devastating on mid size animals! I hunt in wooded areas where shots are limited to 200 yds.Perfect cartridge for this type of hunting!

And Wilson just bought Ultra Light Arms, so I see a 4lb bolt action 30 hammer coming!

I have one, and killed some pigs with it. Getting 300 hamr Ammo has been easy the whole pandemic. Wilson has been pushing it hard. It works well on game- if you want to hunt with an ar15 and 30 cal the hamr is by far the best option. Ar10 are way more expensive. You can’t get a barrel for 250 bucks and call it a day

Capitalize on the size of the AR without "gettin' goofy". Precisely how I would describe the 300 hamr.

I have both 762x40wt and 300 ham’r. All my tipped bullets go to loading the 40. The 130gr speer sp and the lehigh 110 chaos go to the ham’r. Both platforms are effective for stopping medium-sized game at 300 yards. They have worked flawlessly for me and made me a sub-minute marksman, which I was not consistently for a long time with my factory-ammo loaded 556 uppers. Depending on what game and area I go to, I only choose between my 375 Raptor and the 300 Ham’r. Nothing more.

Great episode! I absolutely love my .300 HAM'R. I built an 18" mid (intermediate) gas system, 1:15. I run everything suppressed. (avg. numbers below) 125 Sierra PH- 2,530 fps; 1,775 ft lbs 130 Speer Hot Core- 2,475 fps; 1,765 ft lbs Both solid numbers to reach out a bit, but it's not meant to be a long-range round, like the 6ARC, or the 6.5 Grendel. These numbers absolutely dominate my 300BLK, albeit optimized in a 10.5" pistol gas, 1:8 configuration. As you stated, it has its place, which is subsonic and suppressed. 110 Hornady GMX- 2,175 fps; 1,150 ft lbs I decided to also build out a .300 HAM'R with an 11" carbine gas, 1:13 configuration. This is a great "run and gun" hog platform. It's smaller, lighter and easier to manage than the 18", and only gave up ~215 fps for the same rounds: 125 Sierra PH- 2,315 fps; 1,490 ft lbs It still outperforms my 300BLK, in pretty much the same configuration, with a larger grain bullet. I think Bill was able to do exactly what he set out to do, which is fully optimize the AR15 platform for a .30 caliber round, and not necessarily meant to "de-throne" the 300BLK (it has its place), but rather reach .30.30 Win ballistics in the AR15 platform. Best,

I built 3. For myself, my son and brother. I used the Wilson 18 inch barrel . It shoots lasers! 300 yards in the same dag on hole! Repeatedly . 700 yards I keep smacking steal It’s a blast. Please, go stretch one out for a few and come back and talk it more!!!! I use their 125 hot core rounds thanks for the Ham’r pod cast!!

This cartridge is straight savage. Bill Wilson developed it for hunting pigs in Texas and I can attest that it delivers on that promise.

I have the 18in 300 ham'r, love the cartridge, originally invented for hog hunting, love this cartridge. Very accurate in my experiences with it. Wilson combat also has the 458 hammer you might wanna look into. Thanks fir the content guys

I have put together 3 of them and Hunt with an 18" barrel. Its great, HSM has a commercial load in their lineup. Wilson does have all kinds of ammo for it but it really shines in the the 125-130 grain. Its accurate and carries energy down range well. I really like mine. I am Using 150 Grain SST's

300 Hamr is my go to gun I have acquired enough ammo to use for every situation my raggedy, worn out 61 year old ass will ever encounter including hunting, although I keep a 223/556 AR and plenty ammo for training simply because its cheaper.

About HAMned time!

Built a 16” 300 Hamr, weighs only 8.8lbs with my suppressor and thermal, ridiculously accurate recoil feels same as my 300 blk and best of all it levels hogs and deer! My 16” AR10 is just over 11bs kitted the exact same as the 300hamr.

I wish I would have found this episode right after you put it out. I have 3 different 300 Hamrs. I have an 11 inch AR Pistol, I have an 18 inch rifle and I have a 20 inch. I LOVE the 300 HAMR. There are a couple things to add to the information you gave, even though your information was fairly thorough. The first thing to bring up is accuracy. This cartridge is interantly stupid accurate. If you do any research you will find that people are getting 1/2 MOA accuracy with these rifles all the time. The hunting lease I used to be on was right next door to a ranch that did pheasant shoots and the escapees would get over on our land. I have made neck shots at approximately 80 yards multiple times without a problem. Also the power these cartridges have is incredible. The hogs I have shot have dropped like they were hit by lightning bolts. Another thing I wish you would have dug deeper, is the fact that by taking a 125 -130 grain bullet up to approximately 2500-2550 fps, you are extending the practical shooting range over a 300 BLK from 150 yards as a practical range out to approximately 500 yards. The reason why it is further than a 30-30 is all in the ballistics. A 30-30 is about 200-225 yards because it basically has to have a round nose due to the tube/ magazine. By having a stackable magazine, you can use much higher ballistic coefficient bullets. The one cartridge I think they could add to the ham'r line and I think it would be so cool to experiment with would be a 7mm Ham'r. That would get the 110-130 bullets up 20-25% higher of BC. Kind of an AR15 version of the 7mm-08. The one thing I have wanted people to do that I have brought up to Wilson Combat several times is a head to head with the 6.5 Grendel.

I have a Wilson Combat Tactical Hunter 300 Hamr. A friend turned me on to this caliber as I was new on the AR scene. I wanted more power than .556 and didn’t want to get a heavier AR10. What I found is the accuracy is incredible. At 100 yards I shot 20 shots dead center in the same hole. This gun is a laser. Must be twist rate along with bullet weight. Mine is a 13 twist 18” barrel. It’s very forgiving and light recoil. It hits hard and would be an excellent deer gun. I’ve seen a few photos of Elk taken. I’ve seen videos saying accuracy up to 700 yards. Sig makes 125 grain along with Wilson Ammo. I would venture this gun will gain in popularity. Consistent under 1” groups. This Is the real deal. I’m a big fan. You can’t miss with this cartridge. Great for self defense and will take most North American game. It’s expensive but worth it.

Your over thinking the HAM’Rs sole purpose!!! It’s made to modernize the 30/30 rifle cartridge for Hunting Whitetail.. also incredible Self Defensive Load. Basically taking the 30.30 and supercharging it’s performance. Wilson Combat makes incredible products and whatever they bring to the table is worth the listen and application.

Loved the reference of 30-30 out of an AR. Now let's talk about the 45-70 out of an AR platform; the .458 SOCOM. Modern gentleman's version of Ryan's favorite round!

338 Specter! It’s time for this bizarre concoction to get some love. Huge bullet weight spectrum and who doesn’t love an unneeded cartridge based on an unneeded cartridge case? It scratches lots of fun boxes! Great job in the 300 HAM’R.

All one needs to switch is a barrel, a gas tube, ammunition,and a magazine change; and now you have a semi auto .30-30 equivalent that you can sling over your back while twisting around a hickory tree on your climbing sticks. No way I want to hump around an AR10 in the mountains and briar patches. Check out Bill Wilson’s game room and you’ll understand why Wilson Combat markets a hunting rifle. I think it’s a great idea! Certainly it’s no Ruger No. 1; but in my opinion it’s a splendid choice.

A deep dive into the 30 RAR would make for an excellent follow up to the .300 HAM'R 10 Minute Talk 👍

I have a 11 inch 300 ham’r that shots half Mia @ 100 yards. Cartridge is very accurate.

When I want to de-stress and veg out I tune into Ryan, Mark and Jim, thanks guys, I enjoy listening to all things gun related!

New subscriber found this by accident. absolutely love this!!! Keep up the good work can’t wait to see all of these.

I went on my first hog hunt in Texas with one last year, I can't remember what the farthest shot was maybe 200 yards(at night with a thermal scope that was barely sighted in) and let me tell you I was impressed it no pun intended hammered them!! That was the first time I had ever shot a hog so I may not be the best judge on this but I do know them Texas boys were ganna go all .300 hammer once they burn up their .300AAC ammo for whatever it's worth. I know I would not be afraid to take it deer hunting, I'd have one in a heartbeat if ammo were more plentiful for it.

Sig is making 300 HAM'R loaded cartridges now.

Ok, great show as usual, but it really is time for the .284 Winchester. The first short action modern magnum. Oh and just to dispel thoughts from Jim, I do own one, a DIY custom on a Savage action. Still working loads up but it’s going to be really spicy with the168 Barnes or the heavier eldx’s.

I'm looking into the Shaw 300 ham'r upper. Saving money 💰 to get it. I'm close. Can't wait

Been waiting on the 300 hamr!!!

I hog hunt with the blackout with 110 grain Barnes, grendel with 120' 123' and SST 125g and 130 speer HC for the ham'r. The grendel is the most accurate long range, blackout at 100 150 yards hits hard but the ham'r with the 130 grain bullets just flat out kills hogs out to 200 yards. Haven't shot further than that.

It is a great youth deer rifle with the adjustable AR platform, .223 like recoil, and very effective killing power. I took my least favorite AR and turned it into my favorite with just a barrel swap and new magazine.

New word for Ryan to use when explaining fantastic things….. Splendiferous!! I just learned that word at the “Gas Station TV Word of the Day”!!!😆

Shooting Times did a complete testing and Write-up on the .300 Ham'R which was a play on words to show the round was created by Mr. Wilson to be to best Hog Blaster it can be in an AR. The article has a huge list of loads and performance levels for it. 30-30 Winchester with a 150 grain Sierra Pro-Hunter SPRN and 38.5 grains of Hodgdon LEVERevolution power does 2512 fps from a 20-inch carbine barrel at only 34,800 psi. It's a real thumper on medium sized game. The same load in my Model-8, 30-Remington, (a rimless 30-30) with a 150 grain Sierra-GameKing SPBT is doing almost 2600 fps.

My interest in primary in suppressors so 300 BLK is way more appealing to me, but 300 HAMR seems to be able to get AR10 like performance with the convince of an AR15 so it does probably deserve more love, at least in a lot of hunting situations.

.300 HAM'R is a great round

My father in law had two Wilson’s in 300 HAMR. He’s used them for whitetail the past two seasons here in the southeast, and he swears by it. I went with a Daniel Defense in 300 AAC simply because I could find the ammo, but the HAMR is certainly hitting a little harder and has seemed to do better with hogs than the AAC in our experience. I don’t think I’ll buy one, but I wouldn’t discourage anyone from picking up the WC. They’re amazing rifles, and it’s a good cartridge.

Would love to see you guys do 10 minute talk about the 9.3x62. Very popular hunting carterige in Sweden för moose and brown bear.

We use a 110 gmx in the blackout for white tail in the north woods. Rather handy.

Late to this but I got into with the minimum, barrel swap and gas tube. Several different bullets and weights. This is one accurate rifle even with the soft point hunting rds. With the 135 ftx bullets it’s almost impossible to not get Sub moa even from this old glasses wearing guy. For whitetail it’s the 30-30 on steroids in the AR platform. Definitely use blackout mags for more than 3-4 rounds tho.

Would love to see you guys do 10 minute talk about the 303 British and the Lee Enfield rifles.

Gentlemen thank you so much for this video, I’ve been having a bad week but this has made me laugh so much! Keep farting around in the studio. You rule! 🙏🏻

ER Shaw is offering barrels as well as Wilson Combat. Have seen 4 rifles put together with 2 being Wilson and 2 being Shaw. Every one of them were sub MOA, the best being consistently 1/2 MOA or less. Fantastically accurate, and pleasant to shoot, with an 11" pistol producing better muzzle velocity than a 16" AK (just barely). Great cartridge that has been accepted by SAAMI, with Sig helping out with getting it SAMMI specced. I would imagine Sig will get into loading for this, and possibly building rifles for this clambering. Now if I could get one in a light bolt action platform for hunting...

Love these 10 minute talks. Now neck it down to 6.5, .277, or 7mm higher BC's, better sectional density, flatter tragectory, higher velocity. Very interesting. Til then, if i want 30-30 ballistics i will grab one of them out of the safe. Cant tell me its less handy, or fun to shoot

.35 Remington talk would be real nice to see.

Right on video! Thank you. Building one as we speak. Hunting wise perfect for where I live. Ammo wise a true "no Brainer" for veteran loaders and a safe rifle cartridge to learn on for new folks. (Making brass good) Taticool wise for the range it's intended for or any freaking range please don't shoot me with it!

I'm sitting here watching this with my newborn (3rd) and I can relate to Mark 100%. Ryan and Jim have no kids, and can remember all of these facts, and Mark has to right everything down and print things. #dadlife

I'd personally love to hear you talk about 10mm, and its redheaded stepchild 40 S&W. And this one is less likely to get covered, but its child 9x25 Dillon (aka what 357 Sig wishes it was) is a super interesting cartridge.

Great video! 458 Ham'r, 458 SOCOM, 50 Beowolf episode next?

When loaded with the same projectiles for comparison, the 300 HAM'R achieves the same velocity from a 12-in barrel as 7.62 Soviet from a 16-in barrel... How's that for tactical purposes?

Totally get all the comparison with 300BLK since they’re the most similar, but I would’ve liked to hear some comparison with 350 Legend since it’s a widely available AR15 hunting cartridge that’s also just a different barrel and magazine.

I have the 300 hammer and it is unbelievably accurate..sub,sub, sub moa . Most accurate gun. Bolt included I own and can't tell the difference on deer from 6.5 creedmoor

not just for hunting. will be great as a combat rifle. so much more powerful than 5.56 with same capacity, same range, and only a pound more.

I have several uppers for my AR15 platform. One is a 20”, 15 twist 300 Hamr. I am pushing 150 grn bonded boat tails at 2380fps. The energy, ballistics and terminal performance are pretty incredible for an AR15. 1000 ftlb at just over 400 yards is no joke at all. Remains supersonic to 800 yards but clearly not the choice for that type of shooting. It shoots at MOA reliably. Given the standard bolt face, the long term reliability is also enhanced. I enjoy the other uppers for specific scenarios, but the Hamr is a 1 and done AR15 caliber with some extreme versatility. I find the 150 grain bullets pretty optimal unless night hunting varmints where flatter shooting really pays off. Fortunately, it shoots the 110 grain bullets equally as well if not slightly better.

Ammo is easily available. Wilson has a sale right now. Super easy to build a second upper for a standard 5.56 and be able to hunt deer with your AR. Ballistic performance far out paces 300 AAC. Mag issue is the same between 300 HAM’R & 300 AAC. With more adoption ammo cost will decrease etc.

Hi - know I'm a bit late to the party. Have three 300 Ham'R set-up and love it. Sig makes good ammo as well. SBR with 8in barrel (ATF registered) ... super accurate and very powerful round!

I have a 300 AAC and found out about 300 HAMMR after my suppressor got out of jail. Very interesting concept, but I find the versatility of 300 AAC to be more valuable than the supersonic performance of 300 HAMMR. A 110 or 120 Barnes TAC TX is more than enough for deer out to 100 yards in Wisconsin, which is all I need. And for anything further than that there is 6mm ARC.

I have a friend who wants one because his wife likes the AR platform. She has been hunting with a 30-06. He has favored the 30-30 lever for a very long time. They are getting a little bit older and more recoil sensitive. The 300 HMR is a very practical solution for her as it is similar to a 30-30, where they hunt is very often with a lot of brush and foliage, and the ease of use in the AR platform. He plans to reload. I think that it is a perfect fit for them.

I am surprised you didn't talk about the 350 Legend here. I was considering the 300 Ham'r but ultimately chose the 350 Legend once I saw some field performance of it take hold on RU-vid. If someone's goal is to get deer hunting performance out of an AR-15 with only a barrel and magazine change then the 350 Legend should be an option on the table. With better infrastructure, I think 350 Legend is the better choice for most people. If the 300 Ham'r is a less performative 30-30, then the 350 Legend is your less performative 35 Remington.

I like this round a lot better the the 6.5 Grendel that was my hunting round before I found out about the 300 Hamm"r I use it just like I would a 30-30 and a few more Barrel makers are starting to now offer barrels for it. I like it enough that I had a.223 Ruger American re barreled for it which make a nice handy rifle to keep behind the seat in the truck for feral hog control

Bill Wilson designed this cartridge specifically for Texas wild hogs. It out performs 7.62x39, 6.8 spc and even 6.5 Grendel to a certain degree. And yes, speaking of combat, this cartridge could EASILY serve as a military infantry caliber because you have that same 30 round 5.56x45 capacity in a much more powerful albeit not as fast shooting caliber. And that 250fps advantage is over 7.62x39, not blackout.

Easy peasy... if you want heavy 30 cal pills going slow and quiet through a can, 300 black out,... if you want optimized supersonic 30 cal from an AR15, 300 HAM'R... Can't decide, get an upper in each,... really wanna lay down some hate and discontent, bump up to an AR10 in 308. I pick all of the above for my safe.

Another 10 Minute Talk, another day of me asking for either a talk on the WSSM's, or even more obscure but cool, the .30 Remington AR.

As most have commented already for medium game on down WC has a bullet for all types of hunting - extremally affective hunting round 250yrads and in. We use the 130gr speer on hogs and its wonderful!! From the 110 gr to 150 gr ammo when suppressed has even less recoil (so no recoil at all) and very quiet (using the omega 300). I should also mention if it has not been already WC also has Ruger Ranch barrel swap kit for the 300 aac or 223 Ruger's. Its a 16" barrel length and threaded. Highly recommend - we use it ALL the time - great to have a bolt action option for the Ham'r.

Reminds me of the 30 Rem AR. I do have one of these and love it for deer

Would love to see an episode on the 6.5x47 Lapua.

🙏🏻 Thank you!!! And you pronounced my name correctly!

I am very pleased with mine. Living in the eastern US, this it has become my "one gun." Whitetails, varmints, and its a more capable defensive rifle than my AKs or my other ARs. The handloader's AR. Super cheap to load for, especially if you are trimming down rage pick up 5.56 brass. (Wilson is also offering loaded ammo at very fair prices) I've not done it yet, but the twist (1 in 15" typically) and powder capacity are appropriate for cast lead bullets, further reducing loading cost, if you cast bullets. That's a whole other can of worms. That said, once I get into casting bullets for 30 cal, I'll swap a barrel on one of my other ARs for lead only plinking, as I don't want to risk leading my main rifle. This cartridge has converted me from a 7.62x39 AK guy to an AR guy. Now I can use optics. whohoo!

338 federal podcast please . had an armalite ar10t since 2012. It's a never fail Lazer beam. Highly underrated. Just wondering why it couldn't quite get out of the weeds and more mainstream

Thanks, gentlemen, for your videos. You guys are good at what you do. Some day please do the .378 Weatherby.

I have the 300 Hamm'r out to 200 yds the hogs don't know what hit them and for Deer I use the 135 grain FTX load and it performs excellent on Deer. Sig Saur now loads 300 Hamm'r

Starline brass has a great description of it

Can we discuss the 277 Sig Fury/6.8x51??

the .300 Blackout is basically a .30 caliber magnum revolver cartridge without a rim. Loading it down allows for decent performance with a suppressor. I've had this crazy idea of doing something similar to the 5.45x39 but using a 10mm bullet which would fit nicely where the shoulder tapers up. You'd have the option of loading up to pressure for serious terminal performance, or longer bullets for big bullet weights and suppressed operation.

Awesome! We must see one on big bore rifle cartridges! 🙂

Excellent in depth perspective on new hunting round. With gas prices high, food, and this cartridge is priced super high. .308 all the way unless the rifle, pistol is priced right. Probably on the used market.

Been waiting a few years for this

I have heard about the hammer. Haven't shot one, it sounds very interesting. Thanks for the information.

This just makes me even happier I got my ks-47. 7.62x39 soft point ammo is so cheap, and right in there on ballistics.

I have an 18inch build and Im shooting 110 V-tac with 300blk gen 3 pmags, seem great so far!👍🤠⚔️

I built one for my kids to deer hunt with last fall. They both took their first bucks with it and I killed a doe with it as well. I've been very impressed with it to say the least. I totally understand the infrastructure issues you mentioned in comparison to the .300 Blackout, but it should also be noted that the Ham'r is much more economical to shoot if you are buying off the shelf ammo when compared to the Blackout. I don't reload my own ammo, plus this cartridge being backed a company like Wilson Combat, was a no brainer for me.

I would love to see a 10 minute talk on the best cartridge for the ar15 platform. #20minutetalk Ryan needs his own show!!!!!!!

I thoroughly enjoy y'alls content. We all know it's time for 7mm Rem Mag

Definitely a good reloader's cartridge. Ive pushed a 135gn as fast as 2650fps without pressure signs in an 18"bbl using CFE-BLK. The only problem is that powder gets REALLY dirty when you stuff that much in the case so I tend to keep the load in the 2550-2600 range where the burn is cleaner. As for short barrels, It uses powders on the slow end for blackout so it can work really well in a short barrel, but not quite as short as blackout. The shortest I have tested is 11.3" getting 2400-2450fps out of the above load. The best part is how soft shooting it is for the performance.

This (300 hammer ) will explode on the market. It will do everything and do it well

I’m looking forward to seeing a ten minute talk about the 356 Winchester.

Let’s do a podcast on lever guns for hunting around the world. Calibers, models etc

I described exactly this cartridge to a buddy years before it was introduced. That was way back when I was getting setup for 300 blackout . I have several 300 blackout rifles I don't have any interest in suppressor and I have never loaded subsonic ammo. It's cool that blackout can do that stuff but the performance with 110gr and 125gr fully justify the existence of the cartridge to me for pigs. I use my 223 neck splits for my 300 blackout s. So it's a very economical round for me. I have since decided I'm OK with the 300 blackout level of performance because it's good enough and the less the blast and recoil the faster I can get out hastily aimed fire. Which is in my opinion the reason behind using an AR for hunting. I also have a 20" AR47 that shoots great and while ballistically superior at the muzzle, and has more blast flash and recoil , it is in reality due to differences in available bullet bc not much more effective than the blackout ( which BTW has more KE at 300yds due to superior 308 bullet selection and bc). I can shoot the blackout a good bit faster.

Okay, we got the .300 ham'r out of the way, now it's time to do the .41 Remington Magnum

THANK YOU!!!

Wonder if a 300 savage will fit the AR 15 platform. It was the savage entry in the DOD sweepstakes that the 308 won. Shorter and ahead of its time.

The Ruger SFAR seems to have really stepped on this round's toes.

Im having good luck with the HAMR so far. I used a shaws customs 1/15 twist 18". 130 gr speer varminter over cfe. Its a consistent 1.5" grouping rifle.....and ive gotten it down to around 1". Haven't gotten it out further yet. (That's with hand formed brass from once fired 556.... eithe LC or PPU cases.... both have turned out to be great reloading brass) Its not a match rifle.....but im not a match grade shooter, either. Lol
