Can I shoot 300 blackout in 3 gun matches?

Yes you can.  In certain matches if loaded hot enough it might be allowed in Heavy division but most matches will put you in tactical, limited or open division.

Yes but .223 is a lot cheaper!

... and a lot of matches have targets out past 300 yards so you will have to know your bullet's trajectory really well to ensure you have the right hold overs. On the plus side, when you hit a reactive target, it will really REACT

Good point!  I've never shot the 300 blk out but I visited with Rob Romero from Team Noveske after the 2011 USPSA Multi Gun Nationals about his experience with it at that match.  He had to put in a lot of range time to get his dope for those 300-400 yard targets.
