I personally can't see the purpose of the .300 AAC BO "In Australia", unless you are using it thru an AR or a rifle that utilises an AR type magazine!
I dunno. Horses for courses. I can see it playing a similar role to 30-30. I'm a bolt guy, levers are fine but I prefer bolts. Now, the .300blk can be chambered in a lightweight carbine or very short barrel, and taken through the thick bush and scrub and still perform well. With a short barrel, it would also serve well as a gun for a farmer's Ute or ATV, etc. It's certainly not for everyone, and yes, it would definitely make more sense and have a larger market in America, but it would still have its uses over here. Add to that that it may weall soon be standardized by several militaries, and it should make for readily available ammo. Even if it soesn't , itM's a simple job to form your own brass.
As for me, I don't currently need one or have a use for one and don't intend on getting one (at least, not for the foreseeable future) but doesn't mean someone else doesn't want one or have a need for one. And I can also see the odd shot out .223 getting rebarrelled to .300blk.
