I thought this would be a good forum to start before I bought. Now I'm not so sure.
If you're looking for accuracy, is that accuracy for a 300-221 variant or accuracy for a an AR-15? There are many cartridges which can shoot from an AR-15 which give better accuracy including the 223. Bullet and load selection of course matters. The 300-221 variants have some useful traits, especially for suppressed subsonics, but superior accuracy and long range are not among them.

Other than 22LR the 300-221 has the least energy of any of the cartridges which are commonly shot from an AR-15. The primary accuracy problems of the 300-221 variants are vertical stringing related to low velocity and and wind deflection related to low velocity and/or low BC bullets. Those aren't caused by rifle,brass, or bullets quality.
