I handled one a couple weeks ago, felt handy.

I'd like a really accurate 300 Blackout - I've shot a couple AR's, a Mini-14, and an Encore 16" carbine in the cartridge, with bullets from 125 to 220 grains, and none have been under 2" at 50 yards. I really thought the Encore breakopen, with a good scope, would be 'sniper-quality', but so far naah...

Someday I'd like a levergun in 243 Win or even 22-250 though, too...

I have a Ruger American Ranch in 300 that’ll do at least an inch and a half at 100. I also have one in 350 Legend that shots well

The Blackout and 'legend' are not impressive to me. Not great accuracy seems to be normal. Granted for those cartridges minute of deer at 100 a 3 or 4" group is enough but just ( as Shania says) don't impress me much.

I'd run the chamber out to 300Ham'r if I had one. Still a 223 case, a tad more capacity and supersonic so better at longer ranges.
Bill Wilson designed the Ham'r for more oomph on feral hogs while working through an AR.
Although my 450 Bushmaster is quite accurate with every load I've tried. I'd be interested to try the 400 Legend before the BO or 350.

Im sure some tinkering either could produce better accuracy but who wants to squander primers and powder!?

You're not alone. I wasn't able to get much out of the .300 either.

Kind of cool but too high for me.

Hard to beat an old 45-XXX for accuracy. Unless it's an even bigger BP cartridge. Rainbow trajectory (which technically all bullets arc in a parabolic trajectory) but consistency never ceases to amaze me.

The smaller the caliber, the less consistent they seem to be in my experience.
