308 hands down. You can find ammo for it, you can handload subsonic loads for plinking for it and I saw a 300BO used to shoot a pig in the neck at about 60 yards and the ole sow just trotted off with her herd...

For sub applications the 300 blackout is the better choice due to the limited case capacity.

Most of my shots would be from a bow blind or occasional spot and stalk maybe 100yards

One of the ways subs can retain their effectiveness is by shooting a heavier projectile... With a sub-.308, you can load a heavier projectile and put enough powder behind it to keep the speed up than you can the 300BO. If both are supersonic, there is no comparison for a short-action cartridge. Additionally, there's more doping data on the .308 than just about any cartridge around (except maybe the 5.56, but maybe even more than it).

Charlie I’m confused. A 220 grain bullet at 1050 fps makes no difference on the cartridge it’s launched from.
I can easily push a 220 grain bullet faster than supersonic with my 300BO even out of an 8” barrel.
Am I missing something?
