300 Whisper Owners... Please sound off!

[eltice]

I bought my 300 Whisper from SSK/JD in January and took delivery early Feb. It is built on an AR-15 Upper, currently set on my S&W M&P15 lower...I finally have the parts to build my lower and hope to get to that in the coming weeks.

ALSO, I just picked up my suppresor this past Friday from SSK as well. complete turn-around time was less than two months (submitted paper work 2/4 certified mail, approved 3/15 and received 3/24). I used the LLC route and it worked great! I was able to shoot 20 rounds this weekend and a buddy said it was no louder than a paintball gun.....pretty cool!

I wish I had a better pic but this is all I got for now. Its a 300 Blackout I assembled myself I really Love the round and once you get the brass formed it is easy and fun to reload. I have tried bullets from 110-220 grains and everything in between and have had good results with most.

Definately new here but I purchased my TC barrel from SSK many many years back when I was shooting IHMSA silhouette. 15" barrel that I put a sight package by DZ Arms. Haven't shot it in quite some time. Wouldn't mind getting back into it either. Won't say I was the first in the area to start using this round, but was definately one of them. The third and unfortunately last internationals I went to was in 1997.

I remember the first round I send down range. Heard the hammer go click, didn't feel anything expected in the way of recoil and thinking what did I do wrong. Needless to say this doesn't kick much with subsonic 220gr Sierra MatchKings.

Hi, I'm another Aussie who's been lured by the 300/221. Mine is a Sako A1 action with a recycled TrueFlight Palma barrel. Yet to fire it, I have to finish the stock first. I'm forming my brass from ADI (Aussie mil stuff) and Win, Federal and Lapua. Not mixing them up, just trial and error on the expendable stuff. I'll be shooting supersonic with light bullets.
I gotta admit to being a bit envious of you guys with the toys you have access to !!
Here's a pic of my stock, partly shaped in a pantograph,a fellow AHN member copied the inlet and grip from a Sako sporter for me and I'll finish off the rest to my liking.

I'm shooting a Savage bolt action with a Shilen 300-221 barrel. I had some Sierra 125 gr FNHP bullets on hand and loaded them in front of 17.5 grains of Lil Gun powder backed by a Wolf small rifle primer. The load worked so well that I've seen no reason to try anything else. I'm only using it for a fun/varmint gun right now and have had a blast with it. Eventually I will develop some loads with pointed bullets and also a load for deer. Anyone out there that is thinking about building a 300 Whisper. My advice would be "Do it". It is lots of fun.
