I'm not an expert, but I would think sectional density should be considered as well for penetration:
5.56 SD (68 grn) = .194
300 SD (125 grn) = .188
6.5 SD (95 grn) = .195
6.5 SD (120 grn) = .246
What would be the optimum PDW bullet (inside 100 yds)?LIFE member: NRA, TSRA, SAF, GOA

The choice of caliber and bullet might be decided by what you might like for plinking or other informal shooting.
Informal shooting is one of the best ways to become very familiar with your firearm operation and quirks unless you have the fiscal resources and time to go through formal training and the follow-up intensive practice.

- 5.56x45 w/45-55gr bullet, if you consider a SBR to be a PDW.
- 9x19 w/90-100gr bullet, for a holsterable PDW.

So should I convert this to .300 Blackout?
Oh wait, they can't even fill everybody else's 5.56 orders... Nevermind!
While it'd be cool, I'd much rather have mine done over in Grendel any day!!!Last edited by Variable; 01-21-2012, 09:18 AM.Life member NRA, SAF, GOA, WVSRPA (and VFW). Also member WVCDL. Join NOW!!!!!
We either hang together on this, or we'll certainly HANG separately.....

Regarding conversion of belt-fed machine guns, .300 Blackout has a decided advantage over 6.5 Grendel.
Absolutely NO advantage over 5.56 belt feds with even less effective range and ammo that costs more than twice as much, thats a breakthrough?
Two completely different animals, one a cartridge with extended range and accuracy, the other a short range cartridge that shines as a subsonic.
