I dont think its a range thing for the special forces but a subsonic almost silent thing, pop off a guard so no one hears kind of thing. Though the ballistics for the 300blackout is better than the 7.62x39russian I believe?

There is at least one recorded instance of a platoon being tied down by Enfield fire from 500yds+ and they could not respond to it. Funny how the AR15 was poo pooed for Vietnam yet it was ideal and the M14 was not, and here we are again at the opposite end of the range card where a 308 is most useful.
