I was told something very similar by my smith. My 300BLK is a DD AR pistol and I just bought a couple hundred rounds of the Hornady 110 Vmax ammo today.I’ve been told that you can use varmint style bullets and they will expand like a regular cup and core bullet. The reason is the velocity is lower and they will expand like a cup and core bullet instead of blowing up. Don’t know about this as all I‘ve shot is paper. I went to a 6.5 Grendel and the Blackout has been in the safe ever since. The Speer 125gr TNT with H110 is what shot really good but the Hornady 110 gr V Max shot good too.
Bought the wife a Howa mini 300blk to use this deer season. Having a hard time finding reliable expanding bullets.
My question, Does anyone use a 300 blackout for medium to large sized game? If so what’s your go to bullets and velocity numbers? Thanks!
to large sized game?
No elk in my region, white tail will be the largest game in my area.What is your distinction of 'large sized game'? You mean like Elk?
I use several bullets from 110 gr. to 150 gr. and varied construction. They all work except I skip shoulder shots on hogs. Right now I'm waiting on an order of 130 gr. Hammer Shock bullets to try.
