that still doesnt change the fact youre paying $2 a cartridge for ammo that isnt going to expand as few bullets in the 220 grain category are actually designed for hunting, you will have a much harder time killing an animal with a 300 blackout suppressed than you would a JHP 45acpIt's not "all that money" to set up a .300BLK "rifle."
In my case, because I already owned a 5.56 MRP with a registered SBR lower, I just bought the 10.5" .300 barrel when LMT put it on sale ( something like $290-$300). It runs the same 5.56mm BCG and mags.
But MRPs are switch-barrel propositions ... For guys with a typical 5.56 AR carbine, all they need is a .300BLK upper, and dozens of folks are making them, so there's ample price competition.
also, why pay $300 for half a rifle with inferior ballistics when you can buy a full rifle with inferior ballistics for the same price with a 45acp carbine?
