The big caveat of the 300blk beyond 100 yards is trajectory. Assuming a 50 yard zero and 2150 fps at the muzzle, the 300blk will drop 8" at 200 yards and 30" at 300 yards. Compare that to most good 5.56 loads zeroed at 50 yards will cross zero again between 175-200 yards and drop 10-12" at 300 yards. At 300 yards, that means you will need to hold your red dot just over the head to score a hit with 300blk, while a high center mass hold is all that is necessary with 5.56.
So yes, the 300blk with VOR-TX load is more lethal than the 5.56 out to 300 yards, but it is also harder to score hits at ranges beyond about 200 yards.
I like my rifles like my women - short, light, fast, brown, and suppressed.
