CMMG Whisper ammo

[Ned christiansen]

I was ordering some other stuff the other day and saw that Ammo To Go had this too-- CMMG .300 AAC Blackout, two loads, both FMJ. I'll shoot some in the next few days but though I'd show a few pics. Two rather interesting things.... it's loaded in brass headstamped 83 AAC..... obviously they have a time machine, nyuck nyuck.

Then there's that other interesting aspect, it's on the 147's, I don't see any harm in it though......

They don't drop into my .300 Whisper gage but going by chamber casts they would work fine in a BO chamber. You can see where they were tight on the body. Kinda hoping somebody else has some of this because if I report on velocities that means I did some chronographing. I hate chronographing.

AAC = American Ammunition Company

and I'm guessing loaded with PRVI Partizan bullets looking at the bullet weights and style. You can order them at Wideners'.

I'd have not guessed that. I figured it was made from some milsurp 5.56 that somebody got a boatload deal on due to bad storage or something..... pulled the bullets and made Blackouts out of them. Something made it Wheredahelllia in 1983 whose factory coincidentally used an AAC headstamp. The little bit of American Ammo Co. product I've seen was headstamped "AMERC".

To me the red sealant is indeed Yugo-esque, especially if "83" is actually the vintage. Was American even up and running in '83?

Went to edit the title of the thread to properly say "300 AAC Blackout" instead of "Whisper", looks like I can't. Just a little typo caused by years of messing with the latter (a little).
