Why is everyone ditching the 300 BO

Because it was a gimmick in the first place that's marginally Iess potent than the 7.62x39 at at least 3 times the cost.. Or maybe it's because it's blown away by just about everything else you can feed an AR except 22..seriously the ONLY reason to consider 300 Bo is if you intend to shoot exclusively suppressed and it has to be a 30 Cal..technically.
Actually traded into one like that.
I love the .40300 BO is soooo out of style..... Resting quietly with the mullet and the .40 cal......
And I actually think the 300 is great for suppressed guns. But as a general purpose gun? Not so much.
It's a short, fat and ugly round. It is aesthetically unappealing. That is all.
I could be way off here....but I always thought the reason why we see so many 300 blackout guns for sale is the same reason why we see so many AR pistols. They are homebuild projects with cheap or inferior parts and the guns won’t run.
It takes some work with gas, springs and buffers to get these guns to run ultra-reliable and folks aren’t willing to do the work of swapping springs, buffers etc. They slap a gun together following a YouTube video with the cheapest parts they can find, take it to the range it hangs up every 2-5 rounds. So they turn around and sell it.
I always wonder about the homebuilts that are sold “never fired”. Really ? You spent all that time building a gun and never fired it? C’mon you can sell that, but I ain’t buying that.
Other reasons are as many have already said: 1) ammo costs 2) I was gonna get a suppressor 3) gun guys have ADD - we all want something bad until a new shinny object comes along that attracts out attention
