If my memory serves me correct, the brass thicknesses of those was borderline at the max allowable.
It worked with tight toleranced diameter bullets.
However, if you had some bullets with slightly larger diameter variation of jacketed .308 bullets, you'll definitely have chambering issues.

I'll let you know. I just processed 200 cases and will be loading them this weekend. Mine were purchased last year and I used them for some baseline testing.

S&B is listed in th stickie as having thick necks.
Save yourself some grief.
If the neck thickness is .014" or greater, you will most likely have issues.

Absolutely nothing wrong with S&B 300 Blackout brass. It does tend to be short both in length and base to shoulder so it may have headspace issues in single shots and some bolt actions. This will sort itself out after a couple firings.
The brass in the sticky that people are referring to is 223/556 brass that is converted to 300 Blackout and has absolutely no relevance to properly headstamped brass. You might as well be referring to using 204 Ruger brass.

300 Blackout, not just for sub-sonics.
