.308 Norma

Our middle grandson (home on leave from the Army), Matt showed up out at the house this afternoon with a like-new AR-15 chambered in .300 Blackout. About all I know about the cartridge is that I’ve seen it mentioned on THR quite a few times. I am interested though and will probably learn more about it seeing as how Matt got himself one.
At any rate, Matt had a couple of boxes of ammo for it (that his buddy sold with the rifle), and they were all loaded with 200gr bullets. Is that normal for .300 Blackout ammo? They were nice looking rounds, but those big ol’ 200gr SP bullets looked kind of long for those little cases, and it said on the boxes that they were subsonic - for suppressor use, I guess. Is that right?
Thanks!
