The monthly thread is only getting like 10-15 comments total. I'm too lazy to remember to make a new post on the first of every month, so this thread will stay up until I decide it's too old and then I'll start a new one.

300 Blackout is the best caliber for an AR platform rifle. Change my mind.
honestly, 300BO is a compromise to shoehorn a round into the AR platform that doesn't do anything particularly well. It's kind of a shitty supersonic 30cal and it's a mediocre subsonic round because no one makes a good 30cal bullet that will expand under 1100FPS.
If I'm shooting 30cal, I want it to perform well at 200+ yards. 300BO doesn't perform well at those distances. if I want an AR type rifle in 30cal, an AR10 is a better choice.
if I'm shooting subsonics, it's likely because I want something quietly dead so the bullet needs to expand at subsonic velocities. So, you either have to use defense rounds made for pistols or headshot with a 22LR. A pistol caliber carbine with rounds made for self defense is a better choice. Alternatively, a dedicated 22LR AR upper.
So, in order to change your mind, I submit that instead of using 300BO to do two different things in a mediocre way you should purchase additional guns that do the job you want. It's a win-win. You get more guns and they do the job you want for them.
All that said, many things have died through the use of my 300BO but they were all within 50 yards where I could be reasonably sure my bullet selection would perform as intended.
30 Super Carry FTW.
Do you have any idea how many of those bad mama-jamas I can fit in a mag?
With the extra barrel length of the AR platform I can nearly rival 9mm performance.
It’s the round of the future, I’ll tell ya.
Reject 30 super carry.
Re-embrace .25 ACP.
Meme cartridge that will get someone's face and arms blown off if mags get passed around in a high stress small mixed weapons group.
Yeah, well I’ve got two arms, so I can spare one. And my face already looks like shit. So there.
But in all seriousness, that is a legit fear I have. I keep color-coded mags for my 300BLK. I triple check them all the time. I still have nightmares about me or my kids making a simple mistake.
Better than Bombay Sapphire blackout?
Bombay Sapphire?
We drink bourbon, whiskey, and shine round here. Why drink a pine tree?
Unless I've been drinking the wrong pine trees this whole time.
The deer wont smell you over the pine cover scent plus they won't hear you cause you'll be assed out.
In going to try and kill meaty things with it this year. You know, to justify its existence...
Unlike the atf, it's existence needs no justification.
