It’s no different than Mopar guys referring to their car as a B-Body. The Charger, Roadrunner, GTX, Coronet, and Belvedere all had the same body with different trim. Most components are interchangeable. If I’m looking for a big block engine for my Charger, I would ask if anyone had a B or an RB for my B-Body. If I need a bumper for the same car, it would be for a Charger. If I say I own an F-body, Chevy guys know I have a Camaro, Trans Am or Firebird. Just because someone refers to it as 300 WTF does not mean they’re referring to only the Blackout. Most of the guys on this board don’t own a 300 Whisper, Blackout, 30-221, 300 fireball, they own several. A 125gr BT works well in all the chambering. It would be ridiculous to say that the 125 BT works well in the 300 Blackout, 300 Whisper, 30 fireball, and 30-221. Most of the things you say about the Blackout are valid. I made new brass for $0.18 a piece. I hate making brass and I don’t use mixed head stamps. The availability of the Blackout means I don’t have to if I don’t want to. Bullet technology will be better for the case. Most everything else we had before. The difference was that the mass uninformed gun buying public had no clue. When you take them into account more of your statements are valid. The Blackout is essentially the Cliff notes version of the Whisper. Some gun people are not tinkerers. The Blackout’s for them. I have one and I like it. If you love one you have to love them all. Your rhetoric seems to imply that all the 300 variants cease to exist when the Blackout was introduced. None of the Whisper owners have a problem with the Blackout. How you present the Blackout is what has bothered a few. Having a sense of humor about it may help you. You could always take Spook out for lunch sometime. Group helicopter pig hut anyone. Now it would be funny if you took the picture of you next to the helicopter an added the caption “Preparing for the airstrike on Quorterbore”. Lighten up a bit.
