With 220 grain bullets I doubt that the velocity with the 300 blackout will be very high. But yes it will carry a lot further and be more effective relative to what it impacts at extreme ranges. But there is quite a rainbow trajectory. The 150 grain is more practical, but in the 300 blackout it is not a practical long range cartridge.Your correct out to about 400-500 yards then they fall out of the sky rapidly.
Kenetic energy with heavy bullets is your friend when in the long range game.
For a 16 inch barrel about 2050 fps is the top velocity according to https://www.hodgdonreloading.com/reloading-data-center
2000 fps is about 30-30 territory. For hunting, about 200 yards for humane killing.
