I've been shooting a 7.62x39 AR and Bolt gun for about a year now and have not seen anyone shooting the 300 AAC blackout or 7.62x39 beyond the 25/50yard lines at the local 100 yard ranges.
Im typically out shooting in the silhouette rifle competitions out to 500 meters, sometimes the 300-800 mid range course of fire.
Most of the shooters on the semi auto forum say the 7.62x39 is either a closer in cartridge or the 300 BO is both short and long range due to better bullets and platform yet I don't see any participation in longer range competition?
Properly set up with handloads and sights/optics I think both can be competitive if the shooter wants to try to push the limits of ballistics/Handloading, and personal experience to become a better rifleman.
If anyone wants to try their hand at it Ill be more then happy to help out.
