I also have a Redding 300-221 Type-S Die Set and 1/Case of factory Hornady 80892 AMMO 300 Whisper 208grn A-Max (Sub Sonic).
Below is from the Bullberry Website:

30-221, 300 Whisper, or 300 Blackout – What's in a name?

We have written this post at least 3 times on our old website as the Blackout caliber developed. While the interest in the Blackout seems to be leveled out at this point, we still received calls to order or ask about the availability of the 300 (AAC) Blackout in our break action barrels, so we figure keeping this information readily available is the best choice.



The caliber we have come to chamber as a standard is the 30-221 which is just that – a 221 Rem. opened up to the 30 caliber. This is inherently the same as JDJ's "Whisper" designation and the names can be used interchangeably when dealing with dies and new components. The "Whisper" is proprietary, so we simply don't use it.



The request to move into Blackout territory is where most of the confusion lies, and rightly so as there is variation within the Blackout's standard ammo being made for both Sub- and Supersonic shooting. As far as the name goes, it does seem that the Blackout's chamber reamer specs ( to include a longer throat than the Whisper or 30-221) is more about making their own proprietary cartridge than anything else; the brass is virtually interchangeable.
