Re: ar build

I just rebarelled to 300 blackout and love it so far. I picked up a BHW barrel from SAA (1:11 twist polyagonal barrel)
I've currently put 10 110g tac tx and 20 125g nosler bt through it. recoil is the same or less than 5.56 (little hard for me to tell because of the linear comp that I put on). I'm trying to track down something that is more in plinking price range.
I have no experience with the other two cartridges but either way go, your gonna need to reload.
does 6.5 require dedicated mags like 6.8?

Re: ar build

I got a similar problem with a second lower I have, but don't reload and may not get into it. I really wanted .458 socom just to have two ends of the bullet spectrum and to blow stuff up.....
