The 300 Blackout 125gr Punisher is Gorilla’s purpose‑built hunting load for hogs, deer and other medium game — a supersonic round designed for maximum terminal effectiveness from a short, suppressor‑friendly barrel. Topped with the lead‑free Pig Punisher solid‑copper projectile, this 300 Blackout 125gr Punisher load is engineered to come apart violently on impact, making it one of the most decisive supersonic hunting choices in the caliber.

How the Pig Punisher projectile works
The heart of this 300 Blackout 125gr Punisher load is its lead‑free, solid‑copper projectile. On entering soft tissue it breaks up immediately, with four fragments shedding off the front of the bullet to create multiple wound channels, while the base stays together to drive deep for reliable penetration.
That combination — rapid fragmentation up front plus a penetrating base — is what makes this round so effective on game. It transfers energy violently where it lands while still reaching the vitals, exactly what you want from a supersonic hunting bullet.
Supersonic performance from a short barrel
At roughly 2,150 FPS, this 300 Blackout 125gr Punisher load delivers the velocity needed to drive its fracturing projectile, and it does so from the short barrels 300 BLK was built for. A compact pistol or SBR loses little with this load, where a 5.56 from the same length would shed far more performance.
That short‑barrel efficiency is one of the cartridge’s defining strengths, and it makes this round a strong choice for a handy, suppressed hunting rifle.
Best for hogs and medium game
This load is a hunting round first, built for hogs, deer and similar medium game at the ranges supersonic 300 BLK handles well. The lead‑free Pig Punisher bullet’s aggressive terminal behavior anchors animals quickly, and the construction suits non‑lead hunting areas.
Keep your shots within sensible supersonic range, place them on the vitals, and this 300 Blackout 125gr Punisher load delivers clean, decisive results. For more on choosing 300 BLK loads, see our guide to 300 Blackout subsonic vs supersonic.
Lead-free and quality-built
The all‑copper construction makes this a lead‑free load, and Gorilla builds it on factory‑new brass to consistent standards. That uniformity translates into reliable feeding, consistent velocity and the kind of accuracy a hunting load needs to put the bullet exactly where you aim.
125gr in the 300 Blackout lineup
The 125gr weight is a sweet spot for supersonic 300 BLK. It is light enough to push to useful velocity from a short barrel, yet heavy enough to carry energy and drive a stout hunting projectile. That balance is why so many 300 Blackout hunters default to a 110–125gr supersonic load for general use.
Compared with heavy subsonic loads that prioritize quiet and close‑range penetration, this 300 Blackout 125gr Punisher load prioritizes velocity, trajectory and aggressive terminal performance — the right tool when you want reach and decisive hits rather than maximum silence.
Range, accuracy and confirming your load
Built on consistent components, this load is capable of fine accuracy, but every rifle is a little different. Confirm your zero and grouping with this specific load before the season, and note where it prints relative to any subsonic load you also shoot.
A 20‑round box is ideal for sighting in and carrying a proven hunting load. Once you know your rifle runs it well, you are set for the field with a round built to perform.
Rifle and suppressor pairing
Run this 300 Blackout 125gr Punisher load in any properly chambered 300 Blackout AR‑15 or bolt action. Supersonic loads cycle gas guns easily, and you can shoot this suppressed — though as a supersonic round it still produces a sonic crack no can removes.
Confirm your zero with this specific load before hunting, since supersonic and subsonic loads print to different points of impact. Suppressors and components are available at our sister store, blackoutammo.shop.

Is it good for hogs?
Yes — it’s purpose‑built for hogs and medium game, with a lead‑free bullet designed to fragment and create multiple wound channels.
Is it lead-free?
Yes. The Pig Punisher is a solid‑copper projectile, suitable for non‑lead hunting areas.
What barrel length does it need?
It performs well from short 300 BLK barrels (8–10″+), one of the cartridge’s biggest advantages over 5.56.
