Gun Descriptions

About In the year 1952, Winchester introduced the .308 Winchester Ammo based on the foundation of the late T65 series and the Winchester’s rifle were immediately chambered for the new cartridge. When it comes to short action and hunting big game, .308 Winchester Ammo has earned quite a strong reputation ever since its release. Hunters around the world know the .308 Winchester Ammo for its power and high accuracy. While the shot taken using a .308 Winchester Ammo will have an effective range up to 1,000 yards, but the best bet of hunting your game successfully is within the range of 300-500 yards. In this range and with this bullet, you can take down medium to big games with a single bullet. Manufacturer The Winchester family is the one responsible for manufacturing the .308 Winchester Ammo, the hunting gem that hunters around the world love shooting with and take down their game with a high success rate. Uses Whether it’s the season for deer or grizzly bears, the .308 Winchester Ammo will be the most suitable companion for your venture and will probably yield the most favorable results for your hunting session. Even though in North America, this cartridge is recommended to be used for whitetail deer, it’s common knowledge that this full-powered and accurate bullet can bring down medium to large sized dangerous game.

The 300 Blackout (300 BLK) was designed by Remington/AAC to create a reliable, compact .30 caliber round for the AR platform that uses a standard bolt and magazine. 300 Blackout is optimized for suppressed fire with heavy bullet subsonic loads but can also be used with supersonic ammunition when extra range is needed. The twist rate will work well for subsonic and supersonic loadings alike and there is typically no need for an adjustable gas block when switching back and forth between the two loadings. All these specifications come together to create a round that is great for home defense, law enforcement / military use, as well as hunting. The 300 AAC Blackout delivers ballistic performance comparable to 7.62×39, yet possesses a base diameter that optimizes functionality in an AR-type platform. It is cross-compatible with 223 Rem/5.56×45 magazines. The 300 Blackout’s .30 caliber bullet can be made especially long, and as the result may weigh up to 220 grains — quadruple the weight of the typical 223 Rem round’s. So heavy a bullet conveys a subsonic muzzle velocity and correspondingly softer report. Converting an AR-15 to fire 300 Blackout is as simple as swapping its barrel. Although functionally identical to the 300 Whisper, the 300 AAC Blackout is its own SAAMI standardized cartridge.
