.300 HAM'R Upper
Plan: make a minimal investment to test a .300 HAM'R upper on my FightLite SCR. If it works, I will invest in more magazines, reloading equipment, etc.
Application: Feral hogs (130 to 150 grain bullets) and deer (110 to 135 grain bullets). Get a 1 in 15" twist.

Barrel
I now have a Wilson Combat 18" Tactical Hunter fluted stainless steel .300 HAM'R barrel with a 1-15" twist, with a black Armor-Tuff finish.
I have also ordered a black thread protector.
Handgard/Forearm
I have ordered a mid-length laminate hardwood handguard in "pepper" from Boyd's. This matches the butt stock on the SCR lower.
Magazines
I need to get at least one magazine. Wilson Combat says any .300 BLK magazine will work.
Tools
I need one of those stupid spring forearm tools.
If I don't already have one, I should get a vice block made to hold an upper by the picatiny rail.
Do I want one of those rod things that hold onto the barrel from the lugs? Geissele AR-15 Reaction Rod.
