I wasn't expecting this when I chose to read the replies.
Joe Morrell yeah, what's wrong with twitch over there?
Chloe The Magician and even luckier in 2018 to have the first amendment.
this is why debates have timers for each person to talk
It’s not a debate.
I get the impression that Chad putting in his input makes Erik uncomfortable
Chad's second voice threatens Erik's authoriteh
You guys talking over each other drove me crazy.
Fernando Vega Work on your English you'll get used to it
Rus ridge You made the same mistake he did! Haha... idiot.
Andrew Delashaw - Fernando didn't make any mistakes. The guy who commented was just a dick.
*Fernando Vega* Eric's fault, as always...
I work in construction. Some men just don't shut up and the only way to get some words in is to start talking and wait for the other guy to shut up. Is what it is when your around a bunch of alpha males. Siss boys are another story, They will be walked on their entire life.
I wish Eric woulda let Chad talk, he just didn't want to hear about the blackout
It's the same argument that you can see in any bar in any corner of the world. Two guys, over invested in their own point of view to truly hear what the other person has to say. Of the two of them, Eric was more likely to surrender points to Chad but talking over him in the process.... Personally, having watched this through twice now I am more convinced with Eric's arguments tbh. All you need is these 2 rounds... Job done.. Chad is going to be test firing dozens of different hand loading combinations before he is happy..
@@CS-zn6pp He has a curious and inquisitive personality, he enjoys it.
I really think a lot of y’all missed the point.
Eric annoys the shit out of me, kinda guy that brags about his GWOT ribbon on his Class As🥴. I’m here for the other guys.
Right
New game, take a drink every time Chad interrupts Eric.

Eric you need to work on not interrupting Chad so much. I like the videos but I like to hear from Chad too.
he used to do the same with Barry and it ended up giving him a heart attack
I can psychologically review Eric as someone that never received validation or attention in his youth. The unit and I heavily picked on wannabe know it alls like him while in the service all the time. So now that he is grown and out of the hazing military world, he wants the masses to listen to him and validate him. I’M IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!🥴
The reason you gave a guest on an opinion topic is to tactfully, tactfully disagree. They’re proven rounds. Both of them. It’s all preferences. And insecurities apparently…
All calibers matter
tyler warren except for 40
MK-19 MEME launcher 40 matters just as much, if not more.
MK-19 MEME launcher I was about to say that. 40 is dead.
I think you mean Blackout Cartridges Matter... 😉
MK-19 MEME launcher no except for 380
Eric should let Chad talk! Couldn’t finish the video. In fact I can never finish one. The 300 Blackout is for those that want to suppress a short barrel.
Or just get good performance from a short barrel
Your loss
Thats a stupid statement
These two are like a talkative elderly couple always correcting each other and speaking over each other
If you reload and want to shoot suppressed, subsonic, with a short barrel then 300 blackout is for you.
Thats why it was made. It wasn't supposed to replace anything it serves a specific purpose
Subsonic rounds are getting to the point of affordability. You can pick up Sellier&Bellot subs for $11-12 for a box of 20. Still not 5.56 cheap, though worlds ahead of the early $1/round days and an option to consider before cutting down brass and investing in reloading gear. I started reloading specifically for suppressed blackout, and while time consuming it does open up an entirely new world of ammo selection.
Exactly
Thank you I was hoping someone would answer that question!!
If Eric didn’t interrupt Chad every sentence I would watch this channel more. 🤦🏻♂️
Your loss
@@bryananderson3772 how?
You two share a great wealth of firearm knowledge, I'm very happy to be a subscriber to this channel
As a life long AK guy, I love the info & comparison we get on these rds. Thanks guys.
Great points guys! I personally love 7.62x39 because it's so well-rounded. It has plenty of power to hunt and is affordable enough to target shoot and plink.
What points one guy wouldn’t shut up throughout the whole video.
@@mitchjames9350 it's OK for the host of a show to talk more than the guest
Love me some 7.62x39 also
Now 7.62x39 the same price as better quality reloaded 300 blk. And when supply of Russian ammo will end …
This is the type of information i was looking for in comparing the two, LOVE IT. THANK YOU GUYS.
Just found this video. I am glad you give real advice instead of just playing around all the time. You earned my sub
You two crack me up. Love you, brothers. Thank you!
The 300 blkout I use for deer hunting is the Remington green and white box 120gr OTFB out of my 11.5" ballistic advantage barrel. I have harvested a lot of deer with this setup out to 150 yds.
Is that enough to make a difference? You be the judge...
IV8888, you need to start a new series called Versus. It would be Eric & Chad in a 10 minute video length where each of you take a position against each other regarding something firearm related such as 9mm vs 10mm or MP5 vs Kriss Vector. Then you guys basically argue it out to try to win over the viewers on why your choice is superior. This would be awesome for information and awesome entertainment!
Sort of. I think having a more condensed and objective orientated format would be better than just talking for 25 minutes between each other.
I smell a bitch behind the two..
He said, She said?
You'd need a moderator present, else they'd just end up trying to talk over each other.
I think Eric is the nicer guy. Seems more pleasant to be around.
Now that .300 blk has become significantly more available and the Russian supply issues I'd be interested in seeing you guys revisit this topic.
Still see 7.62x39 cheaper by like 10 dollars easily
@@jorgesolis9468 right. Even the american company's that have stepped up to supply the drying up Russian demand are far cheaper than 300 blk
@@beards-N-boonies yeah by like 5 dollars and 7.62x39 factory is hotter than 300 blackout factory loads usually too
@@jorgesolis9468 seriously? Thats news to me. Actually makes sense when I start to think about what 300 blk
@@beards-N-boonies usually now you can handload 300 blackout alot easier though and can start hitting 7.62x39 power standard 300 is a 125 gr at 2250 fps while 7.62x30 is like a 123 gr at 2350 fps from the same barrel so about 100 ft lbs more than 300 blackout for sometimes half the price
Even with current administration-induced 7.62×39 supply issues and limited availability of prime 7.62×39 hunting cartridges (S&B 124gr SP are my favorite), I would STILL take the 7.62×39 over 300blk because it is still cheaper to purchase, easier to stock up on, and also fills the "life and liberty" niche. That's a hat-trick in my book. Besides, I simply love the ×39 cartridge for just about everything I use it for.
Just picked up a ruger american rancher in .300 blackout and love it great round and also my first bolt rifle. Also threaded barrel for my suppressor. Covers about every angle I could think of.
300 blackout is amazing versatility !!
French commando unit, GIGN, was lately evaluating .300 whisper ammo (more or less equivalent of US' .300 blackout. After testing, they ordered 7,62x39 BRENs from CZ, tweaked for subsonic ammo and silencers soo... it seems it really is best cartridge you don't need
Many Thanks for comparing this rounds. And i love your channel and explanations very much. Greetings from Germany. 😊
Excellent honest comparison. Great work fellas!
Long live the venerable 7.62x39...!
When in doubt,........build both of them. ;)
Yup, 7.62x39 is awesome. I’m pretty sure 300 Blk is better in almost every way except overall capacity, but I like to shoot. I’ve got a decent amount of spare cash but 300 is just too pricey. I am at the point in life where 5.56 and 9mm cost is basically the same to me, (yes 9mm is definitely cheaper but fun for bang is 5.56) but not at the 300 Blk bank account yet.
There are many safe loadings from sub-sonic to high velocity. 7.62x39mm can’t do this. Both do work well in short barrels but 300 Blk can work in extremely short barrel. Still I see your point and for my money 7.62x39mm is my goto all day long. I don’t own a 20ga shotgun because I own 12ga shotguns and so there’s a possibility for accidents or oversights. I also shoot .40 S&W instead of 9mm and 9mm major in the same guns with spring changes for the same reason even though for competition I need four guns instead of two for my events. 300Blk can be loaded and shot in my 5.56’s once. Not worth it to me even though there are distinct advantages in this caliber.
@@john-paulsilke893 wait, yall ever seen subsonic 7.62x39 before? Lmao. Also look up ak Draco pistols. It's works easily out of a tiny barrel.
@@john-paulsilke893 I'm not following your reasoning on not owning a 20 gauge because you have a 12 gauge. How could you mix those 2 up?
I’m fairly certain people had the same arguments when 308 came up to fight 30-06. They both have their place and like any other cartridge, have pros and cons.
You sure that was the case with the .30-06 and .308? I don’t remember there ever being that argument.
Agreed, I see .300 blackout as something for AR people if they want a larger bore bullet using the same equipment. You can use the same mags, all you need to do is replace the barrel, and the bolt carrier. If someone wants a larger bore bullet as a new purchase then 7.62x39mm all the way. I also can see 300ba being used by special forces from a short barrel with a suppressor, and it maybe replacing PDW weapons in 9mm or 5.56mm as it does function so well from a short barrel.
alan wilson since when does the bolt carrier need to be changed when converting from 5.56 to 300BLK? The only parts different from a 5.56/.223 AR to 300BLK is the barrel, muzzle device, and gas system (300BLK using a shorter system). Everything else is interchangeable.
My mistake
I could see 300 blackout being used as a replacement for an hk mp5sd setup. Compact, quiet and easy to put follow up shots down range (or more realistically down the hall). I dont see much of an advantage otherwise. Like if i had to clear land of pigs and had a budget, I would reach for 7.62x39mm almost everytime just on the merit of cost alone. If I knew that people were planning on breaking in my house and I wanted to protect my families hearing, I'm gonna swallow the cost and go for 300 blackout.
I just wanted to say thank you for the great content and advice you guys always give out. These are troubling times but it's channels like this that keep hopes high!
Thanks guys. Super needed that video.
As with any tool, you simply pick the one that is right for the job. Love you guys, thanks for all you do.
Iraq u interrupt your partner a lot lol. He can’t even get a full sentence in
Super Hank Outdoors do you mean Eric?
The only time he didn't interrupt him he ended up being wrong on the powder hahaha
He's just getting excited about it all. shows you he's giving it all he's got
Super Hank Outdoors Yeah he does, he needs to work on that. I can tell he is just the kinda guy who can't help himself when its a topic he is interested in.
He's probably use to it😂😂
I had little respect for 7.62x39 as a hunting round until I got my hands on a cz 527. I was amazed at 150 yd accuracy. 18.5 in barrel bolt action takes advantage of that 7.62x39.
18.5 all the way down to 12.5 your gonna get the same velocity because it's 762×39 is a low pressure round
@joebyden4654 This is not so, you don't gain like you would with a higher pressure round but you do gain 30 fps per inch of barrel. High pressure round gains are somewhere between 50-100 fps per inch of barrel.
1ST Deer I ever shot with a rifle was with a wasr ak and cheap Russian hollowpoints,,,,killed him dead.....I'm really a shotgun hunter I lile to get close..
@@tomcatmcgillicutty6913 their not actually considered hollow points . They call em open points but they have that hole because the way their manufactured but it’s not expected to expand.

This is a great discussion thank you for addressing hand loading and cycling and hunting and use at different distances. You covered everything well in this vid. I think people give Eric and Chad's relationship too much scrutiny. They get a long well and it's just how they interact. There are other videos in which they defend their dynamic. Chad speaks up when he needs to. You guys are a great team. in my opinion.
Are these guys not bothers??
SHTF- you want weapons that use high availability ammo 9mm .45, 5.56, 7.62x39
Or have options.
I have bought alot of guns based on this ,if but ain't NATO it has to at least be very popular
Ar9, the huge chamber can take +p+ 1500 fps easy

@@bryananderson3772 how?
Roll your own !!! If you have damaged .223/5.56 brass you can re-manufacture the brass for 300 blk. I did that to 1000 rounds that would have normally been unusable otherwise. Each has it's upside/downside. All I can say is I LOVE 300 BLK. I reload 147 gr and 220 gr for mine and they work great.
Stonehombre1 Do the same myself. Apart from being into guns, I'm also a big recycling fanatic lol. 300 black gives me a fun/affordable subsonic option, while also giving me a new way to reuse brass that would otherwise go to waste. Let's be honest, apart from accuracy loading and unless you have a nice progressive setup, there's no reason to reload 5.56 300 AAC got me into the reloading game, saves me TONS of money, and opened up a new world of firearms for me. Endless ammo selection, and I can now own more rare and obscure calibers and actually afford to shoot them.
Skip those 147gn bullet crap! Was never meant for 300 BLK. Speer 125gn bullets are often cheap and more accurate. I easily load them to 2250fps. They'll get you out there.
300 blackout is the best !! I researched and researched and just found the idea of an AR using 7.62x39 ridiculous with that funky magazine !! Just get 300 blkout and 556 done!!!
Yea, the interchangeability of the ar's is the second reason I love them so much. Recently built one in a pistol configuration for 300 blk, and the only specific part i had to get was the barrel.
Excellent video. Thanks for doing the heavy lifting on my research.
Great discussion. I wanted to be able to shoot out of a 9 in barrel sub and super suppressed and was willing to make an upfront investment in reloading equipment. So that lead me to 300 blk. Otherwise, I would've went 556 since I wanted to stay with an ar-15 platform since it was my first rifle. I can see however the viability of the ak-47 round for other reasons.
I hunt with 300blk. No problem killing pigs with super sonic, but when a sub load bounced off a boar;s skull and he ran at me, I am done hunting with sub loads!
What bullets did you use?
Agrippa 2K for subs, I got the best results with 208gr amax (most of the 220gr were keyholed) For supers I like the remington 110gr OTM (made by barnes in a remington box) or the barnes TacTx but those get expensive
Learned the same lesson a few yrs back. Best cartridge education I ever got... hahahah
yeah 500ft/lbs is a massive killer........ not. It's fuggin piss weak!
Wow... 45+P ha ha ha ! Bloody powerhouse ha ha ha! I'm sure everyone's favourite pig and deer killer is 45+P now after your recommendation. Gee that's about the same power as a 22 magnum......a well know big boar slayer for many years!? Or to put it another way, less than half that of a .223. Or even a 223 at 400 yards if you like. They all sound like pig slayers to me! I cull around 10,000 animals every year. And I've shot well over 1500 wild goats and numerous pigs with Subsonic rounds from 6.5 cal to 458 cal and I can tell you right now 30 cal subsonic even firing 230gr pills is piss weak. There is a far greater chance of wounding an animal with 30 sub than killing it outright. Will Terry I'm afraid it is you sir that is as you say... a fucking idiot......... and an inexperienced big mouth clown.

Glad to see you guys still have this video on 300 Cosby
Somebody talk about .22-250. One of my favorite varmint rounds. Naked streaker fast, Kristen Stewart chest flat trajectory.
You get decent barrel life with that round? I've heard and read that it's a real barrel burner.
CopeN Bacon You, my friend, are a poet. Well done, sir. 👍🏻
Most people don’t shoot near enough.22-250 to snake out a barrel. And if you do then a new barrel ain’t no big thing. Also Kirsten Stewart always looks like she smells someone else’s fart but isn’t quite sure if it’s hers.
She’s pretty though, and I’m sure she’s a wonderful person as well. I worked on a movie she did although I never met or even saw her, I shot second unit but everyone said she was quiet and polite.
This is the second time I've watched this video. These guys thoroughly covered this subject! I own rifles of both calibers and found their analysis spot on. Thanks guys. Enjoyed your presentation very much.
I have both and I like them both. Thanks Eric and Chad and thank you for your service 🇺🇸
This was just plain good info as usual. I just became a Spartan on patreon, I should have done so sooner. Cheers from your gator neighbor to the south.
Keep up the great work
Another informative and entertaining video. When I first heard about the 300 blk. I thought this is a nice little cartridge, but it should have been developed 50 years ago. I believe Armalite should have developed a .308 Kurtz to replace the full size 7.62NATO. The same way the Germans did with the 7.92 Kurtz and the Soviet's did with the 7.62x39. And Chad then we would have surplus 300 Blk.
Harvest data; I shot a deer with 300aac using 194gr lehigh defense max expansion sub pill from 8" barrel. I was hoping the bullet wouldn't pass thru... but it did even after going thru a rib at 75 yds. It DID expand as promised, but the animal ran about 25 yds b4 collapsing. Dbl lung and clipped the heart.
This is why I bought the 6.8 spc and the 300 blk and the 7.62 because I am so indecisive but I like my 6.8 spc the most
What mags do 6.8 take? Have been interested in this caliber but don’t know much
@@burtonkephart6239 6.8 sps share the same mag as the 224 val
Eric you made some very good points in favor of the 7.62 x 39 over the 300 blackout. I can afford to get much more range time cheaper with 7.62 x 39. I am going with cmmg resolute now just to trade off my 300 blackout stuff. I reload enough as it is.
You guys talked me into building a 7.62x39 AR. Thanks.
And they talked to me into buying a 300 blackout. Shows they are providing info so people can get what's best for them not just a dumb caliber war video.
and im buying an upper for each, that way my 556 can swap to 30cal, and so can my 6.5g
No thanks
AR in 762/39 is silly!! Not meant for it.
You guys could make multiple videos on long term reloading experimentation projects. Eric works on 7.62x39, Chad on 300blk. Then get together and shoot both calibers together, and compare notes. While you get started, I'll get the popcorn! Lol!
this one would be a good one to revisit with current ammo availability and new reloading components.
For some, reloading for the 300, tweaking the components and loads is simply half the fun. It's all about what you intend to do with it. Personally, I own multiple flavours of both :P
I know I'm late to this but, your point is dead on for me. I shoot and reload for 5.56, 7.62x39 and 300 black. And of those three i have so much more fun tinkering around with the 300.
300BO has the performance of 762x39 and the price of 308
But as discussed, it also does things neither of those can do. Good luck trying to run a 9" suppressed 7.62x39.
Bruce Tucker thanks, but I’m too poor to get an sbr, subsonic ammo, and a suppressor.
Price? Compare some brass cased Hornady SST ammo for 762x39, 308, and 300 BLK. Cheapest 300 BLK, most expensive 762x39. Compare any comparable brass cased 762x39. it is ALWAYS more expensive. When steel cased Wolf 300 BLK (not avail in US yet) or from Hornady is available perhaps that will finally end the price "point".
Agrippa 2K no, according to ammoseek the prices are pretty comparable until you get into the specialty stuff like exapnding bullets, subsonics, and frangible ammunition. This is not counting the 300bo reloads and the 762x39 surplus brass. Until wolf or Sgammo order “cheap” 300bo, 762x39 will be more popular.
No............ Matvey.. Close but no cigar. 300 bo is weaker than advertised by a small margin which makes it Even weaker in comparison. Also Cost difference is huge. Your going heavy suppressed that ...? Sure 300 BO is worth it. 95% of us Do Not. Also with a good barrel. Faxon or PSA. The ak round is surprisingly accurate. OR out of bolt action.
And for reloading…the .300 AAC blackout uses .308 bullets vs. .311 and thanks to the “Squirrel Daddy” case trim jig you can easily cut down .223/5.56 brass to be used in forming the .300 AAC brass (if you spend the $30 for the cheap assed Harbor Freight chop saw) and the .300 AAC really performs well with home-cast powder coated bullets…plus military surplus reloadable brass ammunition from Australian Defense Industries (ADI) loaded with 125 gr. Sierra MatchKing bullets for under .55 cents per round when they are on sale from Global Ordinance (it will be hard to find the bullets alone for that price after tax and shipping)…all in all…the .300 AAC blackout rocks in so many applications 👍👍👍
First video of yours I’ve watched Eric, from OIF vet to OIF vet thanks for the great content.
Caveat. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest shooting large rounds .300Winmag, 30-378 weatherby, .375 h&h.. and the reference to shooting deer in GA with a big 30 got me.
I bought a PSA Ks-47 a couple years ago and I love it, i find its a great way to be able to use AR parts and still shoot the 7.62x39. Unfortunately they have not had any available on their site for a long time.
Spankys houseofpain I want one!
The science of firearms is so fascinating I wish I went to school for it lol
Chad cracks me up. Reminds me of a old friend who has passed. Same facial expressions .. i can tell he is of good people
I use those 154 grain soft points for everything. They cost 25 cents per shot, where the cheapest of the cheap ak ammo is 20 cents per shot. So yeah a bit more expensive, but they are capable of 1-2 moa groups out of my ruger ranch. They are also boat tail projectiles. The extra weight plus the boat tail gives these some of the best ballistic coefficient out there for 7.62x39. By just 100 yards out its got every other 7.62x39 beat.
Facts !
I think one of the biggest pro's for the .300 sub rounds is home defense. Even non suppressed they are quiet enough to be relatively discreet and minimize hearing damage when fired inside a home. The lack of a visual signature is also beneficial as I would assume most home invader situations would take place at night and having a big fireball coming out the end of the barrel in the dark is almost certain to temporarily disorient your vision , complicating engagement and also would alert an armed invader as to position. Use in a home also begs the consideration of over penetration. Almost any supersonic rifle cartridge be it 5.56/.223, 7.62X39, .300 blackout are perfectly capable of going through the bad guy, my wall, across the street and thought my neighbors wall with still lethal amounts of energy, a sub is going to hit the bad guy and stop, even if I do miss and even if it manages to get out of the house it isn't going anywhere with enough energy to do anything. Every bullet has a lawyer attached to it. My last point is that the shorter barrels and configurations on a lot of .300 guns, especially sub guns lend them to be a little more user friendly in the close quarters home situations, you aren't trying to fumble around in a high stress situation with a 3-1/2 foot long gun through hallways and doors. Just my 2 cents.
You're smoking crack if you think 300 subs are discreet. Much less when fired indoors. Go to an indoor range and test your theory. You'll find that subs are still breaking 160 db
I still miss Barry but this is great stuff, one of my favorite channels. If you don't learn something from Chad you aren't paying close enough attention :)
Thanks guys. I wondered about this topic as well. 7.62x39 is my favorite tool for killing steel rims
well, because of this channel and one other, I bought a BCA upper , 16 inch, Thanks guys!
Enjoyed the vid and commentary. I prefer the 300 BO because of supressor capability. I form my own cases from M193 brass. I have good luck with cast "boolits" and never intend to hunt much past 200 yards here in Florida. Accuracy is acceptable and standard deviation of velocity causes most of my rounds to be subsonic with occasional sonic crack with a temp, or humidity change. But everybody picks what they like and what works for em. Just enjoy the sport.
Okay, I'm convinced. Next up a 7.62x39 upper.
So it's been a year... did you get your 7.62 upper yet? Good choice, 300blk is just a fad.
I have both in Palmeto kit parts. You hit the nail on the head. I reload 300 AAC and plink with 7.62x39mm due to off-the -shelf economy ammo. I convert .223/5.56 brass to 300 AAC. I’ve experienced poor quality is bulk economy 300 AAC ammo with having to disassemble over 1/2 off my last purchase and resize the cases to achieve reliable feeding. No problems with brand-name ammo but 1.5 times or more expensive than the bulk ammo. I’ve ordered 7.62x39 dies. Will report my 7.62x39 reloading experiences at a later date.
very educational i enjoyed watching
I'll quote Nutnfancy "300 Blackout: Best Cartridge You Don't Need".
John Holmes I would like to see nutnfancy get more involved with other gun channels. If even just to have discussions on current topics.
thanku nutn's wifey for your cervix
It's just a new"toy" for people to praise.
Nutn' don't know nothin'. He bashes the AK too. He doesn't really NEED the AR-15, does he? "The Tavor the bullpup you don't need". "The MP'5 the pistol you don't need". "The M1A the heavy rifle you don't need". "The KRISS Vector, the whatever it is you don't need".
Agrippa 2K I'm pretty sure that what he meant by "don't need" was different from the way left wing zealots like to. Watch the video.
I believe the popularity of 300 blackout is close to the same as the reason for the popularity of 6.5 creedmoor. Both fit in their respective platform with pretty much only a change in barrel (ar15 and ar10) and do some things 5.56 and 308 don't do as well at in comparison (shoot suppressed and flatter shooting for longer distances)
I get to have my cake, eat my cake, and still have my cake. :) I have an RMCS-4(+1) it is modular and fires .300 blackout, 7.62x39, .556NATO/.223, 9mm and the (+1) .22 LR. It is the ultimate SHTF rifle system...like it love it, want more of it. Keep up the pristine 2A content!
There’s no hate at this household just lots of love for your channel thanks guys!!
7.62x39 has been around for 70 years, it will be here for another 70 years.
Captain Howdy and another 70 years as long as there is metal to be used as case and projectile 7.62 soviet will still be used.
@@jessesimmons9238 By cave dwelling terrorists.
And Americans also, I hope.
Lol 70 years In direct combat not many other rounds out there has a performance like that probably no other round ever will, 80 years on the battlefield is no joke.. pretty fuckin versatile ..300 standing next to 762 ,is quite literally an ant standing next to a giant In every sense of the word
If you think only cave dwelling terrorists run 762 you need to do a little more research bud
if only we had a rifle chambered in 9x39 here in the US. Wolf already makes the ammo.
My local gunshop got 15 cases of 9x39 delivered by mistake and got stuck withit for about 10 years
But why? Where is the advantage of 9x39??? What does it do so much better than the ammunition that's already offered here?
Vince Dibona because as Val boi
What we need is a VSS chambered in .300 BLK....
This is a great discussion. Especially when you start talking case capacity and powder burn rate. I think when the rubber is gonna hit the road is the use of 7.62x39 ammo in the AR-15 platform. That's when you can start experimenting with different powder burn rates that can't be supported by the AK-47 platform. I have yet to see anyone trying to adopt all the varying calibers, using an AK-47 platform.
Dang..let the man talk. Eric seems mad for having to do this episode. Always love the content 👍🤘🤘
collab with Ian from Forgotten Weapons
Ian is on another level.
Make it with Karl Kasarda (sp.). Both Eric and Karl tend to dominate whatever conversation they're in -- the video with both of them would be hilarious with both talking rapidly at full volume trying to drown the other one out.
would love to hear both of you talk without talking over each other. :)
Excellent comparison.
Thanks. learned a lot
Just started a build for 300 Still excited I think I picked a great pistol round
My 125gr loads with H110 are consistent at 2350fps out of a 16" barrel...
dpi is great idea. great job nice video. thanks. 🤙
Watching these two go back and forth, I feel like the bartender at the local watering hole. ;)
.300 blackout is the ideal 9.5 in barrel SBR or pistol caliber. A .300 blackout ar pistol with a folding stock fits nicely into discreet containers for life and liberty truck purposes, as opposed to something like the kel tec p2000 or anything in a pistol caliber.
Thought the advantage of 300 black is for SBR/braced pistol and supressed.
That, and compatibility with standard 5.56mm AR-15 components.
I have 300blk Suppressed 10.5-inch pistol. The ammo is right at $1.10 per round. I love it. Due to the cost, I don't go to the range with it much.
Yes. Because 300blk burns powder faster so you get full powder burn in short barrels. I could be wrong but I believe it was made specifically for special forces to have a round that they could go from near silent subsonic suppressed in tactical situations to supersonic when needed if the fight goes hot.
@Nick R my boss knows a navy seal that's said the opposite.
Cool video. I like 300 for short barrels and the feed ramps in the AR platform. 7.62 does great out of a short barrel too even with the flame BUT I like the AK platform too much to use it in an AR. With that said the only thing I don’t like about x39 in an AK is you have to be careful with bullet selection, some AKs deform the soft points.
I have both now in an AR platform. Just finished the 7.62X39 opted for the 10 round mags to avoid the whole mag issue, I hope. Weather has been bad so I haven’t got to shot it yet but am excited to run it soon.
That’s the problem with 7.62x39 IS the mag issue !!!!
