When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.
I believe in my heart and soul the 300BLK is the shitz. From "barely .22LR" to "slightly exceeding the energy of the AK cartridge" that one caliber has one covered.
The downside; it retains what I (personally) perceive of as the weaknesses inherent in the AR platform. Until those issues are fixed; I'll continue to shoot the crap out of my 300BLK, but I'm not letting go of my AK. I'll keep training/practicing for proficiency with both arms.
I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.
.300 blk would be an easy transition for the .MIL relatively speaking I think. Manual of arms, gear, mags etc all stay the same. Carry the same amount of ammo too.
I know logistically, switching out barrels on all the weapons is tough, but it's not like landing a man on the moon.
If Uncle Sugar went to .300 blk I would consider it for SHTF. I may use it for an upgrade to my ghetto SPR. However until I can pick it up off the field, I have no real use.
That does not mean I do not like it or think it is worthy though.
When SHTf 6.8, .300, .300 WSSM , .357Sig and .38super will be unobtanium.

I thought at one time the military would go to the 6.8, But that bus left the station several years ago . I still think it would have benefitted the troops if it had of been implemented .
Luck is the phenomena created when Preparation meets Opportunity .
I'm still hoping they go back to the 45-70...
