Home Defense: How it
works?
The
300 Blackout is a great
choice for home defense,
If you are in a rural area, the range of 300
blackout is sufficient, even more than sufficient for self and home
defense as the effective range
is optimal for engagements of 0 - 300 yards. Additionally the 300
Blackout cartridge was
designed to be used in suppressed firearms. The chief advantages of
using a suppressed
firearm in close quarters engagements is increased situational
awareness and quicker
follow up shots due to decreased recoil of the firearm.
How it Works for
Disaster Preparedness?
Every
responsible citizen should have a plan to care for themselves and
their family in the event
of a natural disaster or terrorist attack. The range of situation or
events can be extremely
broad making it difficult to prepare for every type of situation but
at the heart of every
bug out or defense plan is a firearm capable of self defense and
hunting. The 300Blackout
is great caliber
as it is versatile enough to cover a wide variety of situations.

From right to left, the first is a standard .223 Remington for a size comparison. Next is the 300 Blackout, then a .338 Whisper round that launches a 300 grain rock downrange at 1050 FPS. I also load these with a 200 grain bullet and raise the charge to send it downrange at about 2200 FPS. Next is .458 SOCOM. These are loaded from subsonic 500 grain rock throwers to over 2000 FPS ballistic tipped 325 grain bullets. These have become quite popular with hog hunters and they run on the AR15 platform with little more than a barrel change.
ReplyDeleteNext is one of the .510 Whispers with a 50 cal BMG API rock stuffed in. 28 grains of H110 powder sends it along its subsonic journey into a hard target. A nice report and big smiles from the shooter erupts.
Last is another 510 with a Lehigh Defense, controlled fracture, payload bullet. These machined brass projectiles have slots cut in for the petals to expand. Also in the nose is a .243 cal ballistic tipped bullet to shift the CG forward to improve flight characteristics.
I'm glad that you appreciated them. I enjoy sorting this stuff out and its nice when someone appreciates it.
