.308 vs 300 Blackout

[TexasTrophyBowhunter]

Not sure if this has been a debate here but I guess I’ll start it! I recently purchased a 300 Blackout from a TBHer and it’s been a great shooter. As I started doing more research I stumbled upon the .308. I only really use a rifle to shoot axis and my thoughts would be that maybe a 300 wouldn’t be enough for a big axis bull past 100 yards. Would the 308 be a better choice all around for big axis ?

Yes. you really should consider .308 for that purpose.

Is the recoil about the same? I also liked the 300 for my wife to shoot

308 vote here. Recoil is minimal.

My kids shoot my 308s

They don't compare. .308 for sure.

.308 is probably one of the best all-purpose rounds there is. It will take down darn near anything you want in North America and the Ammo is easy to find.

308 hands down especially at that range. Not saying it cant be done with a 300 BLK but it leaves a lot to be desired.

Don't buy the .308. I've enjoyed the availability of ammo on all shelves lately.

[Leverhunter]

308 definitely

.308 for your purposes, hands down. As to the recoil, 300BO will have far less recoil though the .308 recoil is minimal. As others have said, many kids and women shoot them with no issue.

Bigger is not always better, but in this case it is.

.308 is hands down one of the best all around, easy shooting calibers. Both calibers are fun to shoot. I own several configurations of each.

My boys and I all shoot .308. I haven’t had anything walk away from it yet. I put a muzzle brake on theirs and it reduced the recoil greatly.
