Why do you guys call 300 BLK 300 WTF? The final SAAMI standard is established and has arrived. The final name is known. It is 300 AAC Blackout.

With my 300 Fireball being the same case length as the BLK, does that make it a BLK Match since it has a tighter chamber? :smile: 'Ya heard it here first folks: 300 Blackout Match!

I believe it to be term of inclusion applicable to all cartridges that bear an uncanny resemblance to the 300 Whisper Mr.Silvers. :smile: You might make an attempt to get used to it rather than take it personally. It appears to have "stuck". Perhaps changing the headstamp should be considered?

Merry Christmas in any instance :smile: and best wishes for a Happy and profitable New Year.

There seems to be two types of people who use the term. Previous Whisper(R) or 300-221 users like you, and people who are saying that 0.277 bullets are so much better than 30 caliber bullets.

By the way, your use of 'uncanny' raises the specter of originality. 300 BLK is a standardization of the 300-221 concept, which was sorely needed. Since this has happened, ammo has dropped from $45 a box to $12.50 a box. Brass has fallen from $1 each to 25 cents each (10 cents for reformed). Uppers went from $1200+ to under $500. 75 new companies are involved. It is good even for long-time users of 300-221 or Whisper(R).

5.56mm with 30 cal bullets goes back to at least 1969. And by the way, they all copied Remington's design of the case head dimensions and body taper - and I never saw anyone point out the irony of that.

Here is a photo of a 40+ year old cartridge:

Bob, first of all 5th sentence 2nd paragraph. Uppers have went? went? "Gone" would have made you sound as if you had completed middle school. Its difficult for me to take anything beyond that seriously.

Lastly, in this country when someone bestows Holiday greetings its customary to return the salutation.... something to consider as you make your New Years resolutions.... Kindest regard :smile:

I do because it covers all of the different flavors of the 300 Whisper. I guess that means I am lazy.

When I am talking about the Blackout, I call it as such.

Me too! I just don't have one.

Mine was built before the Blackout, so I call it 300WTFever!
