300 Blackout is a fancy 7.62x39 imitation with sub-sonic options. It's relatively popular, but ammo costs are still pretty high. I've always found that the selling point of "you can use both super-sonic AND sub-sonic ammo without adjusting the gas!" to be a lie. Everything changes about the gun when you switch from sub to super-sonic rounds. Gas pressure, recoil, point of impact, reliability, blow back, range... everything. I'd pick one or the other and stay with it. Super-sonic or sub-sonic. That being said, both suppress pretty good for 300 Black Out. It does well out of shorter barrel lengths if you opt to go pistol or SBR. Sub-sonic is obviously quieter, but turns the 300 BO into a pistol round. Your .30 cal can should also work with .308 and 7.62x39. Might give those a shot. Much cheaper ammo.
