The point is, based on the design parameters of the 300BLK round while you do get more velocity from a longer barrel the % increased velocity per inch increase in barrel isnt as much as with say a 5.56. That number comes from multiple conversations with the people who designed the 300 AAC Blackout cartridge, did the initial testing, and who continue to design guns around that caliber. . Longer barrels are not automatically more accurate. If you want a compact package with acceptable performance out of both supersonic and subsonic loads, then 8-10 is a good compromise. Mightnt a fast burning powder expand completely enough to be maximized in a 9 barrel, while a slower burning powder would need greater length of barrel to maximize the burn? how much difference in sound is between a 30-30 and a300black out with a can on it. This adaptability to the existing rifle specifications was made possible by the fact that the designers and engineers chose not to go down the path of building up from scratch. Dennis- 300 BLK starts with a 5.56 casing that they neck down much shorter, allowing for a wider and longer bullet that can now weigh significantly more than any 5.56 can. Even though it is short, a 6-inch barrel can generate enough velocity to hit close-range targets.

My interest in building a 300 AAC for hog hunting that I could just slap in my upper is quickly deteriorating, especially since the gun may not even cycle without, additional hardware if you want to what was promised, which is shoot both supersonic and supersonic through a stock 16 barrel.

The shorter a gun barrel, the more the gas expulsion at the muzzle equals a relatively louder sound every time you shoot.

The 115 gr (7.5 g) 6.8-round has a higher muzzle energy of 1,694 ftlb (2,297 J) due to its greater velocity, while the 125 gr (8.1 g) 300 BLK round has a muzzle energy of 1,360 ftlb (1,840 J). This may possibly be true, but I dont see links to formally derived stats to back up this claim. At a mere 200 yards with a 100 zero, the 300 Blackout drops nearly 5.5 inches more than the 5.56, at 300 yards it drops a whopping 19-inches more. Heavy, slow moving subsonic bullets experience more bullet drop than fast, more aerodynamic bullets. The powder needs not only fully burn, but also the products of said burning need to drop in pressure, before you start seeing a decrease in velocity. For example, with a 10.5-inch barrel, the .300 Blackout clocks an average velocity of 2200 feet per second. The deer Ive taken with my 8 300 BO dont know or care.
