    Default 300 AAC BLACKOUT (7,62X35)

    Advanced Armament Corp. 300 AAC BLACKOUT (300BLK).

    This system was developed to launch 30 caliber projectiles from the AR platform without a reduction in magazine capacity and compatible with the standard bolt.
    Full power 123 grain ammunition matches the ballistics of the 7.62x39mm AK, has 37% more energy than 5.56mm M855, and 9% more than 6.8 SPC TAP 110. In fact, from a 9 inch barrel, the 300BLK has more muzzle energy than 5.56mm M855 from a 16 inch barrel. When 300 BLK is used in a 16 inch barrel, it has 23% more energy than 5.56mm M855 from a 16 inch barrel - with much higher-mass projectiles for a more dramatic effect on the target. Or choose subsonic cartridges for optimal use with a sound suppressor - 220 grain Sierra OTM (open-tip match) bullets vastly outperforms a 9mm MP5-SD in penetration and long range accuracy.

    The 300BLK is an extremly versatile cartridge especially when used in the AR platform (using the same exact mags one would for 5,56/223).

    An AR in 300BLK is my next grail....

    excuse my ignorance but I dont know much more about this cartridge than what is expressed here.

    Is the next platform for military weapons or has this been created as a "wildcat" cartridge just to get a heavier bullet into the AR platform on a small/private scale?

    There is a lot of information on the 300BLK. It is not a Wildcat but SAAMI spec. Commercial ammo manufacturing companies do not produce Wildcat ammo.

    I would not catagorize 300BLK as a cartridge available on small/private scale when there are 50 plus companies making products to use the 300BLK and companies like Remington and Ruag manufacturing ammo commercially.

    The 300BLK is just a fairly new in "cartridge world". The future applications of the 300BLK will still become evident in the months and years to come.

    Its new?

    All they did was duplicate the old German 7,92x33 ballistics for the STG44 in a 7,62x35 cartridge.

    They both fire a 125g bullet at 2250fps. I ran it through me Norma ballistics program, they are 99.8% the same.
