Savage drops 300 AAC Blackout for the Model 10

[Tyler Durden]

I'd be curious if Savage actually published any of their data and/or pics of these groups.  They didn't come right out and say that they wanted X amount of accuracy.

There actually is a mathematical formula for figuring out twist rate given bullet weight and velocity.

I am guessing that the .300 blackout was trying too hard to be the jack of all trades.

On the one hand you have 120-130 grain bullets at 2,300 fps.

Then on the other hand you have 180, 200, maybe even 220 grain bullets going slower than the speed of sound, less than 1,000 fps.

I am guessing marketing two barrels for the .300 Blackout wasn't a viable option.  One barrel with a twist rate for the lighter supersonic loads.  Another barrel with a different twist rate for the heavier subsonic rounds.
