So based on looking at the numbers, a 110 gr in a 6" barrel in 300 BO delivers 860 ft lbs of energy whereas a 10" barrel shooting 77gr 223 delivers 883 ft lbs of energy. The velocity in the 300 BO was somewhat conservative at 1877 fps, especially if you reload. Of course, I don't have any real world data yet and that's really all that matters.

View Quote You lose 100ft/lbs per inch going from 9”-6” Just for comparison... 16” 5.56 shooting 77gr TMK at the muzzle has 1130 ft/lbs of energy. This is why 9” is the best length for 300 in my opinion. |

Finally finished up with both my builds.
10.5 inch Faxon barrel with Faxon enhanced upper. Used almost exclusively suppressed with subs and my 9" Thunderbeast for maximum suppression as a home defense gun. Attached File 9 inch Faxon Match barrel with Faxon enhanced upper, Adam Arms adjustable micro piston kit w/ lightweight carrier. Normally use it with my 7" Thunderbeast for compactness with supers and subs as a truck gun. Attached File |

View Quote ALG also has similar options, but I don't think they make the short ones in MLOK. |

Here are my three thus far...there will be more, oh yes there will be more!
Attached File Attached File Attached File Breakdown: 1- 8.5” unknown barrel with a 9” unknown handguard on a palmetto upper and pistol lower with an sb brace. Primary red dot and light. Loves my 180 gr subs out to about 100 yards. 2-16” bear creek barrel with a 15” unknown handguard on a palmetto upper and rifle lower with an a2 stock. Cabelas 4-16 scope. This gun will shoot 500 yards all day long on a 12” gong with Walmart bought Remington 120 gr ammo. 3-16” Ruger American ranch in a Boyd’s pro varmint with a hawke optics 4-16 scope. Almost quiet like Hollywood with slow subs and the can. |
