300 Blackout ??

[oneyeopn]

Could or can the Blackout shoot a cast Gas Check Bullet or could this lead to potential gas system problems?

Aside from being dirty this could really offset ammo costs for casual shooting.

You can shoot a gas checked bullet or there are companies making harder cast bullets for them...the powders used in the blackout dont seem to burn as clean and the rifle gets a bit dirtier. I quite cleaning mine about 50 rounds ago just wanting to see how long before I get a problem because its too dirty....My Sport seems to go forever!!!!
I shoot cast in some of my guns....but there are tons of cheap jacketed and plated ammo right now in .308....a lot of guys are shooting pulled 147gr Nato bullets....they are cheap and they shoot real well out of the blackout.

Great info here folks. I'm jonesing for an M&P 300 and following this thread has been very informative.

I really like my .300 BLK:

My upper an AAC and functions flawlessly.

Having just finished my long range 5.56mm project build (other than optics), I'm already starting to source parts for a .300 AAC Blackout project. Should be fun...

I'd have posted my build parts, but since its based on non-S&W components, and we don't have a non-S&W Black Gun sub-forum...
