I am interested in building up a 300AAC for hunting what do I need for a 16 carbine that would be different from building a standard 5.56 carbine? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Some .300 Blackout bullet/seating depth loadings have problems in Pmags.

Thanks for the info, how many rounds fit in a standard 20 or 30 round P-Mag. I am looking at the 135 gr. Cor Bon supersonic ballistic tip ammo, wondering if the ballistic tip stuff has feeding issues cause I dont want a problem gun in the Alaskan bush if I gotta deal with a pissed off bear.

Magazine capacity is unchanged. 20 rounds in a 20rd mag. 30 rounds in a 30rd mag.

The issue with Pmags I was refering to is usually a really heavy round nose bullet contactng the divider ridge in the front of the Pmag. Most bullet/loading combinations do not have this issue.
