What does the 300 AAC bring to the table other than suppression?
Let's disregard the advantages when it comes to suppressing it. I'm talking about a 16" barrel wringing the most velocity out of it you can. The 125gr loads are close to 7.62x39 velocity-wise (2200fps vs 2350fps) and right there weight-wise. The 147-150gr loads are like a .308 at distance.
Other than maybe simulating 7.62x39 without funky mags and steel-cased ammo, what are the non-suppression advantages of 300 AAC? I just don't see it given the cost of adding a whole new caliber into my fold.
