How the monolithic copper expanding projectile behaves

This is a a solid copper hollow point that opens into petals and retains close to all of its weight, which makes it legal in lead-free jurisdictions and reliable through intermediate barriers.

Construction decides terminal behaviour far more than weight does. Two loads of the same grain weight with different jackets do completely different things at the target.

300 Blackout in practice

Full powder burn by roughly 9 inches, which is why it dominates short barrel builds.

Muzzle velocity for 300 Blackout typically runs 1,000 fps subsonic, 2,100 to 2,300 fps supersonic, from a AR-15 platform with a 1:7 to 1:8 twist. Treat any published velocity as indicative. Your barrel will give you a different number, and that number is the one that matters.

Bullet weight and what it costs you

At 110 grain this is on the lighter side for 300 Blackout. Lighter bullets leave the muzzle faster and shoot flatter, which helps on smaller targets and at distance, but they bleed velocity sooner and depend more on impact speed to do their job.

Cost per round

160 rounds at $289.00 works out at $1.806 per round. Bulk packaging like this is how you keep a rifle you shoot regularly fed without the per round cost climbing.

Before you order

Federal law does not class ammunition as a firearm, yet several states and cities restrict or licence ammunition shipments. You must be of legal age and eligible to possess ammunition at your delivery address. See our shipping and delivery page for the current detail.

Is this the right load for you

Match the load to the job rather than the price. This suits hunting where weight retention and reliable expansion matter, including lead-free jurisdictions.

Barrel length matters

Barrel length changes the numbers. Short barrels give up velocity that light bullets in particular depend on, so a load that performs from 20 inches may disappoint from 16. For 300 Blackout specifically, expect 1,000 fps subsonic, 2,100 to 2,300 fps supersonic as the published band and treat your own chronograph as the authority.

300 Blackout against the alternatives

Against 5.56 it gives up range and gains suppressed performance and short barrel efficiency. Against 8.6 Blackout it gives up roughly half the subsonic energy and gains an AR-15 platform and far cheaper ammunition.

Pick the cartridge that fits the shooting you actually do, not the shooting you read about.

Frequently asked questions

What platform suits 300 Blackout?

A AR-15 with a 1:7 to 1:8 twist is the usual setup. Full powder burn by roughly 9 inches, which is why it dominates short barrel builds.

What velocity should I expect from 300 Blackout?

Typically 1,000 fps subsonic, 2,100 to 2,300 fps supersonic. Barrel length, temperature and lot all shift it, so chronograph your own rifle.

Is the monolithic copper expanding projectile suitable for what I am shooting?

It is a a solid copper hollow point that opens into petals and retains close to all of its weight, which makes it legal in lead-free jurisdictions and reliable through intermediate barriers. Match that against your intended use before buying.

Why choose 110 grain?

Weight sets the trade between velocity and momentum. 110 grain is one point on that curve; the right pick depends on your barrel, your distance and your target rather than on the number itself.
