How the polymer tipped varmint projectile behaves

This is a the polymer tip resists deformation in the magazine and initiates expansion on impact, giving explosive results on small game.

The number on the box tells you mass, not behaviour. Jacket design, alloy and geometry are what determine the wound channel.

300 Blackout background

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.

Pack size

20 rounds at $35.00 works out at $1.750 per round. A box this size suits load development, hunting stock and defensive carry rather than high volume practice.

Ordering and compliance

Shipping rules for ammunition vary by state and sometimes by city. Some destinations require a licence, an approved recipient, or refuse delivery entirely. Check before you order rather than after. See our shipping and delivery page for the current detail.

Intended use

Before buying, be honest about the use case. This suits small game and pest control where rapid energy transfer matters and over-penetration is a hazard. It is the wrong choice for large game.

Barrel length matters

Velocity scales with barrel length, and the effect is largest on lighter, faster bullets. Check what your own barrel actually delivers. 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.

Frequently asked questions

What rifle does 300 Blackout run in?

300 Blackout is normally chambered in a AR-15 platform with a 1:7 to 1:8 twist. Full powder burn by roughly 9 inches, which is why it dominates short barrel builds.

How fast does 300 Blackout run?

Is the polymer tipped varmint projectile suitable for what I am shooting?

It is a the polymer tip resists deformation in the magazine and initiates expansion on impact, giving explosive results on small game. 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.

What is in the pack?

20 rounds at $35.00, which is $1.750 per round.
