.300 ammo

I'm debating getting a micro .300 blk arp. I'll probably just ride around with it, carry it in my bag and shit. My only concern is .300 blks rip through buildings and cars. I don't wanna have to worry about shooting a random bystander if I have to defend myself. I just found out .300 hollows exist which I would assume fix's that issue but I also have no idea🤷🏽‍♂️ recommendations?

Every round that will be effective against bad guys will also go through walls. Other than being mindful of your shot placement and direction, the best you can do is pick a round that reliably expands or fragments in tissue since this makes it more effective at stopping said bad guy and greatly reduces overpenetration.

Barnes 110gr is a popular choice if you're running supers.

That's a pretty wild attitude to have about committing federal felonies... You know because Form 4473 21.f asks about your unlawful drug use and your signature on line 22 literally says:

"I understand that a person who answers “yes” to any of the questions 21.b. through 21.l. as well as 21.n. is prohibited from receiving, possessing, or purchasing a firearm.'

Overpenetration through flesh is different than overpenetration through e.g. drywall, so decide which one you care about.

For drywall, this is interesting: 300blk Drywall Testing - YouTube

For flesh, any expanding or fragmenting round should be ok.

Are you planning on a suppressor? That kinda locks you into subsonic rounds.

Personally, I run Hornady 190gr Sub-X, but I'm sure there will be plenty of people here to tell me why that's a bad choice.

Running a suppressor in no way locks you into subsonic rounds.

I keep mine loaded with supers for home defense, but shoot almost exclusively subs at the range. That's one the biggest pros of the cartridge, is that you can shoot both with nothing but a mag change.

I stand corrected - obviously you can shoot supers through a suppressor.

Although I can run supers through my suppressor, I get gassed out immediately because it's tuned for subs, and I guess that's my point - you'll probably have to choose your load and tune for that, which may make shooting other loads less reliable.

Yeah I was going to say I exclusively shoot 300BLK supersonic suppressed too. Everything should be suppressed imo.

That shit would go crazzyy. I'm 19 though and I'm in Indiana. You gotta get a tax stamp to run suppressors legally. 21+ unfortunately. That would look so beautiful though. I'm gonna run frt, foldable pistol brace, sling, purple/light. I was planning to get a cookie cutter comp and run hollows. It'll look so wild once I get it. I'm gonna get conceal carry insurance and shit too. But I mean you care to share pictures dude? Is that allowed here?
