Re: .300 Blackout

Scott, replaced the mag, epoxied the mag well, had to replace the mag release cause it got bent, and when I got the upper back from the gunsmith put it all back together and it was GTG. It was lucky I was using a LIGHT load or it would have gone kaboom!

No, but it makes much more sense than 22LR, since 22WMR is .224! On the other hand, why not just download 223 to 22WMR velocities and change the buffer/spring to accommodate the change in pressures?
