So I’ve built 2 300 ham’r rifles and am in the process of building my 3rd. I’m sold on this caliber, it’s so much easier to get results with than the 7.62x39 or even 6.5 grendel. I love the grendel but for medium sized game at normal hunting ranges The ham’r makes a lot of sense. My 2 rifles shoot sub moa and are light, handy and light recoiling. There’s tons of .308 projectiles out there that will work but it’s sweet spot is 120-135gr. I use magpul 300 blk out mags and function is 100% plus there aren’t the bolt and extractor issues that 7.62x39 based cartridges have. I’m not sure why but recoil is lighter than any of my 7.62x39 ar’s or my 6.5’s. Did I mention this caliber is accurate? Lol. My favorite thing is the utility of being able to convert 5.56 brass and the only non 5.56 parts needed are the barrel and magazine.

My Grendels shoot fantastically and I have hunted everything from coyotes to elk with them but for most folks the 300 ham’r makes more sense IF they start mass producing ammo. It’s just easier and cheaper to run vs 6.8, 7.62 or 6.5 grendel. One last thing is once the brass is converted (which is super easy) it lasts forever. I don’t even anneal them anymore during the forming process.
