Everything the same as for 5.56x45 except the barrel.

It's more easily shot through AR style rifles? Same mag, bolts, ect.

I don't own one, but from a handloading perspective it's seems brass and bullet selection are much better. Especially bullets

If you reload, better selection of bullets to choose from. Easier to tailor the rounds to what you intend to use them for.

Better bullet selection. This isn’t important if your goal is to do magdumps, But it makes a big difference if you want to do anything else.
Works better in an AR platform. This is real important if you are already invested in the AR-15 and don’t have any AK stuff. (Magazines and parts become real easy to get) And, look at it like this. Outside of being able to get crappy Russian ammo at a decent price, why is the 7.62x39 any better than the .300. |

I would think you could roll your own using heavier 7.62x54 bullets...... To me having a .300 BO is to be able to use a suppressor and without subsonics...it's kinda pointless. That is what the .300 BO has over the 7.62.x39 Non subsonic wise, platform is everything. Using 90% of my current parts is a bonus.......changing the barrel is a snap. |

Pistol powder vs rifle powder. 300 BLK is built for short barreled rifles. The powder cooks off in a 7 inch barrel, no fireball. |

300 BLK is far superior at blowing up 5.56 rifles than 7.62x39 because 300blk will chamber into and fire in a 5.56 rifle.
Other than that, 300blk does nothing better than 7.62x39. |
