I could go 7.62x39, but does it perform any better than the .300 Blackout? The only advantage I see in the 7.62x39 over the .300 Blackout is the price of the ammo. I'm not a long distance shooter. Hell this AR probably won't be fired psst 50-60 yards. Yeah, I realize that going long is where the 5.56/.223 really shines, but brother, I can't even SEE that far!</blockquote>ballistically, the x39 is very similar. A lot of optics companies sell their 300bo BDC reticles as being able to be used with x39. Both rounds are good within 400yards too. I keep my hunting shots within 200 yards though.  Both cartridges work great out of short barrels, and how I see it, you have two choices: suppressed, or cheap? If you want suppressed, go with 300bo. If you want cheap, go x39. $.28 for soft point ammo kinda speaks for itself. I can go to the range and let loose a few hundred rounds without wanting to cry. It also opens up other avenues of spending money, like buying a x39 bolt gun that you can shoot cheap too. Works great for hogs as well.[/QUOTE]
