Hey Marlin,
I think someone is still getting things mixed up. You cannot make .223 brass into 7.62X39 either. The Russian round is much bigger than the .223. As for a .300 AC Blackout, I have to say that I do not know what that caliber is. Best wishes, Dave Wile |

I think he meant to say you could use the 223 and make 7 mags! Just joking. Just resize them and leave at 223 until they're useless and then to the scrapyard.

Apparently, you "experts" have NOT heard of the .300 Whisper. While not technically made from the 223(it uses the 221 Fireball), it COULD be made from a .223 by shortening considerably.

.300 Whisper
That is a far cry from a 308.

It DOES use a .308 diameter bullet so in one aspect, IT IS A 308.
