5.56 and I wouldn't even bother with exotic ammo, just m193 or some kind of hunting ammo.
Don't over think it. 5.56 from a 10.3" is good enough for Navy seals. |

If I could get 300BLK in quantity and price of 5.56, I would.
From an 11.5" gun, using any Barnes TSX will probably be effective. |

I've got some heavy stuff in the garage waiting to be reloaded/tested for accuracy this winter, but it's not for regular use. Don't need to shoot 600 yds. around here when 100 yds. is about as far as you can see. |

Home defense includes civil insurrection, riots, looters and even warfare and terrorist attacks. Not just simple home invasions, burglary or robbery.
Having a rifle that shoots the same ammo as the local law enforcement and the military is critical to survival. |

5.56 because I can find it more readily anywhere.

Based on your criteria... and Your .300BK v. 5.56 ammo as described... only because of the extended distance the .300BK offers with reliable expansion.
Look up the Honey Badger. https://ndiastorage.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net/ndia/2012/armaments/Wednesday13590Silvers.pdf |

5.56
It'll work fine for close quarters, even in short barrels. I prefer CBC/Magtech Mk262, but any 5.56 will put dicks in the dirt at close range. |

This is really best answered with "both". For home defense, I would really want to suppress my SBR (or "pistol") and .300BO is more effective in that department. However, for training, 5.56 is far cheaper. I think both are effective enough and I really don't think there would be any drastic change in terminal ballistics 50 meters on in (maybe out to 100 meters?). A duplicate upper, on in 300 and one in 5.56 would all a better performing, suppressed choice with 300BO and a far cheaper 5.56 choice for training. If you're just getting the one, I would go with 5.56, but I would still want to suppress that beast indoors!

A.
But the 8-9" suppressed variety. |

You really should get a suppressor though. |

Would agree, with one BIG caveat ... that being, any 5.56 SBR you might shoot inside a structure needs to be suppressed, or you and anyone nearby WILL incur significant auditory damage from the blast of rounds. |

Either way the gun would be suppressed. I have a 8.2” 300 blk with suppressor and a 10.5” 5.56 with suppressor. I’d take the 5.56 because it has a 1-8 scope on it.
