    I just checked my software, and it looks like the 208 Amax would be borderline with that barrel. If you wanted to use a round nose bullet, you would probably get away with it.

    For shorter range, I'd stick with something lighter and supersonic as opposed to the 220g stuff.

    My goal is a decent hog gun. I want to go as heavy as possible with the 16" and 1/10 twist in the .300 blackout.

    Oh, for .30 cal projectile it changes. A 1/10 twist should theoretically be okay up 150-170 or so. Anything higher grain then that is questionable. Subsonic is the only reason you would want a faster twist than 1/10.

    CJ, I was unclear. I bought the .300 blackout. I was asking about weight of lead for that. What is the heaviest I can shoot in it.

    Oh it has 1/10 twist. I would imagine that it would be sub-sonic at the heavier weights right?

    Deep into the 60gr's. Some guys say they can stabilize 70+ but I'm skeptical.

    Ok, well carbine is out of stock, but they do have mid and rifle, no pistol. Can either of the two they do have be cut?

    Anyone know what the heaviest grain bullet this will handle? Mine is 16" barrel 1/9 twist.

    CJ, I'm not gonna lie, the Moe Howard in me was thinking "Wise guy eh..." lol. But the gun noob in was intrigued, so I did a google search and sure enough, they do exsist. That's exactly what I want to try. All that is required was a hole drilled into the top of the handguard to access the asjustment screw. The reviews I read on Midway's site all showed to be positive, but Midway shows to be out of stock with no back order and the same with the other two sites I found. Im guessing the adjustable block stole its thunder.

    Yale showed me a new adjustable gas tube which was really slick you might want to consider.

    I'm kind of hoping you still consider the Samson rail. Their Evo Series look great. I'm really considering one for my 300 build. My plan is to keep it a DI system for simplicity. I'm still unsure whether or not I need an adjustable gas block though. I do plan to shoot suppressed and unsuppressed. Anyhow, I think I've done a good job of derailing Muley's thread (sorry dude), so I'll save it for another day when the time comes to ask the questions.

    I try not to buy shit I don't need. I don't need a quad rail, the only accessory I will use it an IR illuminator for NV, and my MOE has a rail for that. The only thing that will make me switch is if I can't make a custom hand guard cap to accommodate a suppressor.
    A guy on arfcom did an A1 carbine SBR with full length triangle hand guards. He bushed the end cap so the suppressor would slide in and be supported, and opened up one of the slots in the HG so the front sight base could stick through. It actually looks ok.
