I also want to get into 300 black out seems like a great deer round for my young son.

Good idea. When my son first started deer hunting, I had a 20" Contender barrel made in 300/221 (AKA 300 Whisper or 300 BO). I got frustrated w/ load development so ended up getting him a Savage bolt action in 308 Win. I worked up a handload using a 125 gr NBT at 150 fps faster than the 300/221. He killed a bunch of deer w/ that load before transitioning to full power loads. I never did go back to load development for the carbine barrel.
