the 300 blackout is just a 7.63x39 (classic AK47 round) with slightly higher pressures.
it's harder on the brass and the delicate AR mechanisms but still doesnt do much better than .357 magnum ballistics. (just like the 7.63x39)
your still better off with the classic
I would agree wholeheartedly, what is the cost of a box of 300 blackout? $30 or so for 50 rounds of cheap ammo? Vs $10 for 50 of the standard military ball ammo (Wolf classic) of 7.62x39. Really it is a no-brainer.
I think some of the appeal of the 300 is a simple change of an AR upper is all that is needed for it to work. No need to change magazines, the whole process can be done in the field if you don't mind carrying an extra upper for when you need that extra penetration.
Basically they are trying to change an AR into a less reliable AK, but for double the cost of an AK.
AR's shit where they eat, AK's don't.
BTW that Video is great, I laughed my ass off the first time you linked oh so long ago.
Have any Idea how many Republican Guard Full Auto Soviet AK's were shipped back to Marine Bases in shipping containers with manifests other than firearms? A shit ton. Everybody got one.

wolf ammo is shitty, inaccurate, burns dirty, is non-reloadable, and suffers from frequent hang fires, misfires and failures to feed.
go to a gun show and you can get soviet bloc surplus ammo cheap. it's still berdan primed so you cant reload it but it shoots straight and always works
I have never once encountered a single problem in over 100,000 rounds of WOLF classic ( military ammo). Not in 5.56, not in 7.62. If you are having problems, it's probably the firearm and not the ammo. There were sticking problems when the lacquered ammo was sitting in a hot breech, but that problem is now solved.
Wolf Gold is re-loadable brass.
Most of the Milsurp soviet stuff was manufactured by Tula, Tula is the largest manufacturer of this ammo in the world.
The name of the Tula corporation in the USA is called WOLF, so when you shoot wolf, you are really shooting TULA ammo, the same company making the surplus stuff.
It burns dirty, but the AK doesn't care. Lots of ammo manufactured in the USA burns dirty too (UMC & Remington)
When you want to have fun and bang off a thousand rounds for an acceptable price point, wolf is the way to go.
Want the best precision? Reload your own if you can or use my favorite, Black Hills.

wolf .40's jammed in my sig, over and over, so i measured em, they are on average .04 to .05 over the sammi spec of oal, causing feed ramp issues, which i havent had with any other brand of .40
in my bro's AR they had hang fires, several duds, several blown primer pockets, and one split case which hasnt happened with any other brand in 5.56 (their .223's shot fine, and yes' it's a 5.56 nato setup) in my 303 enfeild they keyholed with nearly every shot, and had shit accuracy, dropping 6 in spreads at 200 yards, while rem umc, winchester etc all give ~2 inch groups at that range, and my handloads make a 1 inch ragged hole at 200 yards as long as i do my part.
when cleaning my 303 i got big chunks of lead and copper from my chrome lined bore, their bullets were tearing themselves apart in the pipe, which shouldnt ever happen in a chrome lined bore
wolf ammo is simply substandard. if you like it thats fine, if your guns dont mind it, then go for it, but i wont shoot em.
