I want to build an AR pistol now that I've handled one at my local gun shop. I'd be interested if anyone has any velocity data for the 300 blackout in a 10" or so barrel. I think the 300 would probably be a better choice than the 5.56 in a pistol.

search for 300 whisper data. It was very popular in IHMSA a few years ago.

It is a much better choice in short barrels. I've got a 10" 300blk pistol.
Link to thread from some boolit chrono data:
