Load guide: 300 Blackout subsonic vs supersonic.

Terminal behaviour of the fracturing design

This is a engineered to break apart in a controlled way on impact, converting velocity into rapid energy transfer rather than pass-through.

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.

Choosing this bullet weight

At 115 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.

What you get for the money

160 rounds at $269.99 works out at $1.687 per round. Bulk packaging like this is how you keep a rifle you shoot regularly fed without the per round cost climbing.

Compliance

Ammunition is not a firearm under federal law, but shipping is restricted in a number of states and municipalities, and some require a licence or an approved recipient. Buyers must be of legal age and legally permitted to possess ammunition where they live. See our shipping and delivery page for the current detail.

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.

Choosing 300 Blackout over something else

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.

There is no universally correct answer here, only a correct answer for a given rifle, distance and target.

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.

How fast does 300 Blackout run?

Around 1,000 fps subsonic, 2,100 to 2,300 fps supersonic at the muzzle, though your barrel will give you its own number.

Is the fracturing projectile suitable for what I am shooting?

It is a engineered to break apart in a controlled way on impact, converting velocity into rapid energy transfer rather than pass-through. Match that against your intended use before buying.

Why choose 115 grain?

Weight sets the trade between velocity and momentum. 115 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?

160 rounds at $269.99, which is $1.687 per round.
