Remington ammo uses new 300 AAC BLACKOUT brass. It is not converted from anything. Primers are sealed and crimped. Case mouths are annealed, and the anneal is purposely not polished out for visible verification.

Are there plans of the military using this? Just asking because crimped primers are a b*tch to reload.

Certain customers want crimped primers so everyone gets them.

Nothing wrong with that, I'd love to have to tooling to crimp my own primers.

EDIT, I guess I will know soon enough by looking at it - but in the mean time I'll ask anyway.....

Did you change the feed ramp geometry at all to make it more .308 friendly?

No, it is a standard feed ramp. We considered making it more like the 450 Bushmaster but decided not to give up one of the lugs.

So bottom line is the 300 AAC BLACKOUT compatible with 300-221 Fireball/300 Whisper chambers?

From what I can tell, I think so. I've got one coming in, so I'll let everyone know asap if no one else beats me to it.

I would think that there are plenty of reasons AAC cannot/will not ever come out and say it is, and I don't blame them.

At any rate, they look great and can't wait to try ours out!

Ever see a Venn Diagram?

http://www.learnnc.org/reference/Venn+diagram

The example in that link says Dogs, Humans, Lizards. They overlap with each other.

Imagine a Venn Diagram that said 300 Fireball, 300-211, and 300 AAC BLACKOUT. There will be overlap, but we can't claim compatibility with every reamer ever labeled 300 Fireball or 300-221 or 300 Whisper(R) because there was either no standard or it was proprietary and we did not have a drawing.

If a company has made, for example, 300 Fireball uppers which are inside the spec of 300 AAC BLACKOUT, then that is up to them to say it is compatible.

Noveske already did for certain barrels they have made:
