Many don't know or forget your point. Early on "RSilvers" who has self identified as the "designer" of the Blackout (huh?) stated that if you like Grendel downrange performance you won't like 300 Blackout. And vice versa for Subsonic. IE: the cartridges were optimized in two radically different directions. Which I agree with his reasonable assessment.
Since moving to Remington the tone has shifted far more into the one cartridge to "do it all" space.
