I have brass, dies, 1680 powder and lots of SMK's. I'm going to load a bunch of subs this weekend and shoot some at the ranch. H, when you make a 9" barrel, let me know, I want one of yours.

OK, thanks, H.
Agree, I will only run the BLK suppressed and subsonic.
Man that is good news. I would suggest that you make up some cartridge chambering gauges ... they make life MUCH easier when learning to make brass!!! If I hadn't already had one made 18 months ago, ARP would definitely be the preferred supplier for me!
Anyone ever tried using 6.8 mags to allow longer OAL?
I am reading that the standard magazine has some trouble feeding the 300 blackout? I was interested in the cartridge as a supersonic hunting round, then I heard that the chambers are cut long to accommodate the 220 grain Sierra, and the thing about the magazines feeding the round. So I am still trying to decide what to do for my new hunting rifle.
The 6.8 is a lot better as a hunter, the 300 is a "fun gun" unless you are attached to a special team that uses it.

Hey C
I've been looking into picking up a M17S and having it converted into either 6.8 or 300 blackout...but since Kurt passed on I haven't been looking as hard. What do you know about how easy/hard doing the conversion might be? I know the bolt would need to be custom made for a 6.8, while the 5.56 should be fine if I go the blackout road.
.
Guess I am slow today M17S?
