Has anyone shot a 300 ham'r or been around one?

I met a guy at the range who had one on a hog gun wither thermal. He swore by it. Said it was devastating. He let me shoot it once. Recoil was a lot like my 6.5 Grendel. I really like the look of the case. If barrels and dies we're cheaper and more readily available and I wasn't already committed to black out I would do the hammer over the blackout. For supersonic loads it outperforms blackout in every way, but I'm not sure it offers much the 6.8 or 6.5 cannot do.

If there was anything I could hunt in Ohio with a carbine that I needed more than a 223 I'd have already built one.
About the only thing for centerfire bottle neck would be coyotes and other various pests at range. The 223 covers that well.
We don't have much for hogs here and deer are straight wall cartridges only for the moment.
There's always the 350L, but it's not quite as interesting to me.

Big fan here-had an “extra” 300 blackout so converted to this as another hog rifle option.
I’ve not had chance to try on a hog yet, but I’m getting 200# more energy out of this versus the handload I’m using on the 300 blackout 110 tac tx (getting 1690 on hamr and 1411 on tac tx that’s loaded to max that Barnes suggests).
On side note, got to use 338 federal on 3 hogs this week and it was devastating... what a great hog round

When I first read about the 300 HAM'R I expected it to be another me-too, waste-of-time round but the more I read the more impressed I was! The .300 Blackout is awesome for suppressed use but if you're not looking for subsonic suppressed it seems like the 300 HAM'R is a lot better round. I could see it being a pretty good HD/CQB round as well.

I own a 300 Hamr AR-15 and I really like it. Accuracy is good, recoil is very light. CFE BLK is the powder to use in it. My dad is actually deer hunting with it as I type. He hasn't pulled the trigger on anything yet.
