This is why I like it.

1. Light recoil.
2. Same bolt as 5.56.
3. 110 gr bullet and 19 grains H110. I have a whole bunch of formed, sized brass. With my RCBS Universal hand primer, Lee hand press, and a really cool Lil Dandy powder measure that I ground the rotor to throw exactly 19 gr H110 ... we load away at the kitchen table.
4. In excess of 45,000 SRP on hand.
5. Accurate.
6. Ergonomics good for my son to shoot ... easy to bipod, easy to change optic from red dot to scope.
7. Feeds very reliably, particularly with GI mags (shorter bullets are problematic with PMags).
8. Should perform in the same class as the 30-30; bullets are lighter but well constructed and moving out there a little faster. From what I've seen so far, the bullets will expand just fine.
9. Being able to suppress it is interesting, but a ways down the road.

I will caution that a 223 upper will chamber a 300BLK. We keep our 300BLK stuff separated. I keep the 300 rifle broken down in a takedown case.
