300 Blackout in Ballistic Gel at 200Yards

[@guardianminifarm8005]

Well done my friend. Thank you for doing this. Demonstration of the limitations of the 300 BO. It isn't the best option for deer out to 200 IMO. I am not sure we can be confident that these bullets will perform in an animal like they do in gel. Will they consistently tumble in the animal like they do in gel to produce these impressive damage paths? I am not sure. If a hunter puts one of these in the right place you may have a clean harvest. But after hunting deer for over 30 years with many, many tools and power types and projectile types(including archery) I have witnessed good hits not always produce clean harvests. We have lost very few animals but we have had to work much harder than necessary to retrieve animals that were hit really pretty well. At times this was due to poor performance of the projectile. We appreciate the time, energy, resources and thought invested in this test. All the best and happy New Year.

Great video. I wonder what the 110 grain bullets would do. 300BO using bullets designed for 308 or 3006 suffer.

110 coppers are where it’s at with 300BO. Barnes TacTX, Hornady 110CX, and S&B 110 TXRG.

I’m with you 100%. I personally don’t want a heavy, tumbling bullet.

I don't know as I've seen the 110 TAC-TX at 200yds into gel. I'd like to see it...I kind of wonder at that range how much penetration you'll see with that light of a projectile expanding as much as they do. And that says nothing of hitting bone. I run those at 2200FPS out of an 8.5" barrel, even at 100yds I'd be leery the light projectile won't be going fast enough to penetrate well. FWIW, as someone else mentioned it, I'm sure these bullets tested are designed for 300BO, these aren't handloads.

try the maker bullets.

[@preacherbiggin]

100% on the Makers

[@mblake0420]

Try 125 grain sst and 110vmax, i believe you will have better results.

[@Texasmade4444444444]

Yes 110 and 120s is what i wanna see 150s are to slow at that range

[@patb7723]

Yeah definitely I also wanna try the phantom defense ammo company makes some spicy 300 loads like the 86 grain spicy bois or 120 grain plus p loaded spectre where they use different brass looks different like silver or stronger zinc but look like would hit hard

[@danieljaster7655]

110 grain v max

I load the 110 vmax's in my 8" at ~2150fps for hd. Awesome round
