New M&P 15 in 300 Whisper/300 BLK

[Dragon88]

Since my first post, I've researched the .300 Whisper in more detail and also received advice from other hunting pals. I'm now considering the purchase of a new Alexander Arms in 6.5 Grendel. Meets the criteria for low recoil and ability to kill thin skinned animals, like white tails. The long range ballistics are also quite impressive. Think I'll leave my S&W as a .223.

Good call, 6.5 Grendel is a great round. You should have more reach with that cartridge and more retained energy past 200 yards.

You wouldn't happen to have any info regarding ballistics.

Wouldn't make a decent SHTF rifle - Chances are a lot better that you'll find copious amounts of .223/5.56 laying around. After you're out of 300 whisper, your rifle is only usable as a club.

Not so sure there will be anything laying around. I doubt that will be time to go scrounging around. You better have everything you need before problems arise if they ever do. I would stay away from walmart looking for commonly available ammo if S ever HTF. Scary enough looking place in a world where there is rule of law.

Search m&p 300, I got a thread with a lot of info from people. I've got a picture of an ad I found that it was for sale, so yes, it is in fact true
