Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Which one?

I have a 300 Blackout and a 308win. I'm trying to figure out which one to set up for my kids to use this fall as I dont want to buy another gun right now. So i will be chopping the stock down to shorten the LOP and doing some load development. If I went with the 308 I'd probably go with some barnes 110gr ttsx and try to make a light kicking load. I already have a decent load for the 300blk using the 110gr Tac ttsx.

The 308win is a sporter barrel so can't use a can.
The 300blk is a 16" threaded, so can use a can.

I like the idea of hunting with a suppressor to save the hearing.

The 308 is a Winchester so has the 3pos safety
The 300blk is a Remington so has the 2pos safety

I'm a huge fan of the Winchester safety.


I'd guess the max range around here is 150'ish yards.

I am overthinking it bad.
