I went with a 7.5" BA Hanson barrel for my build. Before the 7.5 is worthless and will not even penetrate air crowd chimes in, I also have a 8.3" 300blk SBR as well. My go to rifle is a 16" mid length with BA Hanson barrel .

This will be truck, range, fun gun. Range report to follow.

Thanks.

The sights are Diamond Head polymer sights. They sit a little high, but we're just sitting around so they got used.

I like that setup, looks handy and lightweight.

The 7.5" barrel is worthless and won't even penetra . . . Oh. Well, just sayin'.

The gun looks great! What's the overall weight on that?

Nice- nothing wrong with that short a barrel for PDW engagement distances.

It weighs in at 6.6lbs with an empty 20rd PMag.

I think the 55 grain gold dots work well in 7.5” barrels.

Nice...looking at doing something similar as a truck gun, with premium ammo 75m is quite realistic.

Don't suppose you chrono'ed the loads?

I didn’t choose the two loads based on a super fast velocity. These rounds are know to perform well with expansion and penetration at lower velocities.

Dear usncorpsman aka Doc nice setup thanks for the pics of your 100 yard group. I have been curious how the 7.5 barrel would do at 100 yards. I have a 10.5 Sig pistol it does well at 100 yards also. When folks try to tell me what a weapon will do or not do ballistic wise I ask them if my round strikes them in their left nut or right nipple will you be able to determine the difference from another weapon or bullet type...
