I would find it safe to say that no one questions the usefulness of the 7.62x39 round. Many find it as a very capable round for both medium game hunting (deer) and personal defense.
My question is, how come there are so many quick to dismiss the 300 blackout, when in the 125g flavor, it rivals the Russian round very closely? Add to favor on the side off the 300, the ability to be suppressed easily, and the pistol powders used making it much more effective (read retaining velocity) in shorter barrels.
I would agree that between 150g and up to subsonic heavy pills, there is very little use as far as from a practical standpoint, other than say target shooting close range or general plinking. But the more common .308 bullets used also allow for versatility regarding components you may already have.
This is by no means a, “300 blackout is superior”, type post. I simply wonder if there is something I am not seeing in regards to performance from this round in comparison to rounds similar.
