I just got a used 300 blackout barrel.
This One
My #44 drill bit (.086) fits pretty tight and a #43 can't fit at all.
Is a .086 gas port a typical size?  Im probably going to put on a adjustable gas block and run various ammo.
Ideally I'm going to be running subs with a suppressor.
I'm worried about the gas port size.

Again, 300BLK, 16" barrel, carbine-gas... we need to be around a hundred on the port size.  90 from some manufacturers just won't cut it.

The guys at spike said around .093 should be fine but does not recommend going past .100
