They aren't even close! The .300 Win mag is pushing a bullet at 2,800 FPS, and the .300 blackout is pushing the same bullet at just over 1,000 FPS.
If you drop the .300 blackout to a 125 gr bullet (instead of closer to 200 gr mentioned earlier) it will go a tad over 2,000 FPS - but then it is not subsonic.
And if you want a .300 Win mag AR....well it's going to cost you a lot of money.
The .300 Win mag is just coming into its own around 800 yards. The .300 blackout is running out of gas around 600 yards.
