300 Blackout Ammo
From military use to civilian defense, the .300 Blackout cartridge has been growing in popularity since it's introduction to the market in 2011. Supersonic loads have ballistics to the 7.62x39 bullet, while subsonic loads are for those who shoot suppressed firearms.
AR-15 Platform Alternative
300 Blackout Ammo
One of the most popular alternative chamberings for the AR-15 platform, .300 AAC Blackout ammo is easily distinguished by its relatively small case and huge bullet. This somewhat odd-looking cartridge fulfills a number of niches better than the default .223/5.56 caliber with better close-range performance and excellent potential in suppressed firearms.
.300 Blackout ammunition comes in two distinct flavors: subsonic and supersonic. Supersonic loads typically fire a light 90-130 grain bullet at a muzzle velocity of around 2,200 feet per second with ballistics comparable to those of the Russian 7.62x39mm. Subsonic ammo, on the other hand, fires a much heavier bullet in the 220 grain range with a muzzle velocity of around 1,000 feet per second to avoid the sonic "crack" that partially negates the advantages of a suppressor.
The .300 AAC has been embraced for a wide variety of purposes, with hunting, match, and defense loads available from most manufacturers including Nosler, Federal, and Corbon. Notable adaptations of the round include Remington's Hog Hammer series featuring Barnes TSX copper bullets as well as Hornady's Zombie-Max hollow point series for those prepping for the undead apocalypse - you can find a wide variety at cheap prices for sale here at Widener's.

Wolf 300 AAC Blackout 145 Grain FMJ Steel Cased – 500 Rounds

Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Wolf Condition New Bullet Weight 145 Grain Bullet Type Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) Use Type plinking at the range Casing Type Steel Quantity 500 Ammo Caliber 300 AAC Blackout Primer Type Berdan Magnetic Yes UPC Barcode 645611308680 Cost Per Round 50¢ per round The beauty of Russian steel! Wolf’s ammunition features plenty of ferrous metal that will keep your wallet fatter. It’s going to attract a magnet, sure, but it’s going to save you money as well!
This cartridge is loaded with a 145 grain bullet, which gives a 300 Blackout rifle that supersonic muzzle velocity which simplifies long-distance shooting. The bullet’s copper-washed exterior is only skin deep – beneath it lies a hard, deformation resistant layer of soft steel.
Wolf’s steel cases aren’t outright impossible to reload. With special equipment and enough time you’ll be able to do it. But is it worth it? No – unless there was absolutely no other way to get 300 Blackout ammo. But while they are effectively non-reloadable, Wolf’s cases do wear PolyFormance polymer coating to protect them from corrosion and smooth out cycling in a semi-auto.
This ammo’s Berdan primers operate on a slightly different principle than America’s preferred Boxer primer – but they are just as non-corrosive! -

It’s looking right at you, pal! This round’s 147 grain bullet weighs way too little to avoid breaking the sound barrier. Upon taking flight at 2,000 fps – kerkow! Not the sort of sound a suppressor’s designed to suppress, that’s for sure.
But you know what? That “little” extra noise won’t bother you one bit. If you want to see a flatter 300 BLK trajectory in action, then it’s well worth the cost of admission.
You’re not sinking your money into overly fancy bullets when you invest in this ammunition. The full metal jacket does the bare minimum it needs to in order to feed and fire in a semi-automatic, and it’ll be just as accurate as you make it. The real “selling point,” as it were, is the FMJ’s steel-free core and jacket: your ticket into any range that won’t have magnetic ammo on its premises.
This loose-packed ammo is loaded with new brass cases. Order some component bullets from our fine website if you feel an urge to handload them! -

Winchester Super Suppressed 300 AAC Blackout 200 Grain Open Tip – 200 Rounds
$174.95
$159.85
Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Winchester Condition New Bullet Weight 200 Grain Bullet Type Open Tip Use Type plinking at the range, Subsonic Casing Type Brass Quantity 200 Ammo Caliber 300 AAC Blackout Manufacturer SKU SUP300BLK Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 20892224490 Cost Per Round 79.9¢ per round Is Winchester’s Super Suppressed line of ammunition only meant for suppressed firearms? Not at all! This 300 AAC Blackout ammo will supply cleaner and quieter performance out of suppressed and unsuppressed pistols, carbines and rifles alike!
Winchester’s clean-burning powder isn’t the only reason for this round’s low-residue performance. The bullet’s base is fully encapsulated, which prevents hot propellant gasses from evaporating any lead off its core. That means virtually zero lead residue will accumulate on your bore or inside your suppressor!
This round’s quiet report is the work of its bullet. At 200 grains, it simply cannot become supersonic before clearing the muzzle, and accordingly cannot register a jarring supersonic crack on ignition.
The open tip is often confused for a hunting or self-defense bullet, but it is in fact not capable of terminal expansion. Its nose cavity is just the byproduct of the open tip bullet’s production process. Molten lead is inserted through the aperture so it can cool in place to become form-fitted – a feature which enhances accuracy.
Winchester’s 300 Blackout ammo is always made in America, where it is loaded with reloadable brass cases and very dependable primers and powder. This ammo is designed to fully cycle all semi-autos. -
Hornady Frontier 300 AAC Blackout 125 Grain FMJ – 200 Rounds

Hornady’s reputation for making exceptional projectiles is one that they earned the legitimate way, and they wouldn’t go through such trouble just to team their bullets up with lackluster components. They’re also highly particular throughout their quality assessment procedure, so you can take heart that not one round in this box will let you down while you’re outside trying to enjoy yourself.
This 300 AAC Blackout cartridge has a 125 grain full metal jacket projectile. Its bullet will promote reliable feeding, preserve a rifle’s accuracy by not layering its bore with lead residue over the course of a long shoot, and penetrate whatever kinds of targets you’d like it to (within reason). Hornady’s brass casings are as well-made, properly annealed, and interchangeable with one another for even better assured reliable cycling, and their Boxer primers and clean burning propellant behave precisely as you would have them. It’s hard to treat your rifle to much better than what these rounds will provide! -

While Frontier rounds are frequently manufactured at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant, the United States Army’s relative ambivalence toward the caliber likely contributed to Hornady making this round all by themselves. Still, it evinces through and through the great quality for which Hornady is so revered, and that it has been so painstakingly inspected means it will do wonders for you during your next one-on-one time with your rifle.
This round’s 125 grain projectile has a full metal jacket, so it’ll function positively in any semi-automatic firearm and preserve accuracy as you shoot. The round’s factory fresh brass casing is sturdy yet supple enough at the neck and shoulder for repeated handloading, and the non-corrosive primer won’t cake your weapon’s sensitive action with residues that would treat it like lunch. Its carefully measured propellant is similarly clean burning as well! -

$18.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Winchester Condition New Bullet Weight 200 Grain Bullet Type Open Tip Use Type plinking at the range, Subsonic Casing Type Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 300 AAC Blackout Manufacturer SKU SUP300BLK Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 20892224483 Cost Per Round 94.2¢ per round Super Suppressed ammunition is perfect for any rifle with a suppressor screwed onto the end of its barrel. This 300 AAC Blackout ammo won’t just keep all those baffles a whole lot cleaner – it will also make your suppressor itself more effective at its job!
Winchester loads this round with their open tip range projectile. First things first: The open tip will not expand as it penetrates soft tissue, and in fact delivers terminal ballistics akin to an FMJ. It is an accuracy-first bullet, with a form-fitting core that was poured through the opening in its jacket’s tip while it was still molten.
This bullet’s flat base promotes accuracy by offering a uniform surface for propellant gas to thrust against. The jacketed base also locks propellant gas away from the core, thus stopping it from vaporizing lead that would accumulate inside the barrel and suppressor.
A Super Suppressed cartridge relies on a simple mechanism to ensure its subsonic muzzle velocity: a heavy bullet. At 200 grains the open tip range bullet cannot issue a cracking report upon exiting the barrel, which makes a rifle run quieter even if it hasn’t got a suppressor.
Brass cases and non-corrosive primers also help this ammo fire up clean. Reloadable and American-made! -

And by “jimblies,” we mean severe lack of subsonic 300 AAC Blackout target ammunition? Then the cure is close at hand. We’re offering you Hornady Frontier!
This cartridge’s bullet is too heavy to pose any risk of breaking the sound barrier. It’s what’s scientifically referred to as a “big boy” – a heaving 208 grains, which attains muzzle velocity 100 fps shy of supersonic when it is fired out of Hornady’s 24” test barrel. You could ask for no better if you’re trying to see what your suppressor can really do!
And you won’t have to turn your pockets inside out in order to observe such subsonic performance. Hornady outfits this target puncher with a full metal jacket, which isn’t engineered for expansion, or particularly deep penetration at that. (We’re quite sure you could make good use of this ammo’s FMJs for varmint hunting, though.)
This ammo’s high-quality bullets, reloadable brass cases, and clean-burning explosives all prove that Nebraskans know what’s what. Order as many boxes as you like, because our boss told us we can’t keep whatever we don’t wind up selling! He also told us not to microwave fish in the company breakroom!

The V-MAX’s pointed polymer tip streamlines its aerodynamic profile remarkably, and its AMP jacket gives it the rotational stability needed to always find its target. Upon impact, that tip will wedge deeply within the underlying swaged lead core in order to commence rapid fragmentation, made all the more potent by the bullet’s highly concentric jacket.
The BLACK line of ammunition is designed to deliver consistent results out of any black gun, regardless of how it operates or whether or not it is suppressed. With these 200 rounds’ uniform brass casings, non-corrosive primers, and clean burning propellant, you can count on exemplary performance out of any rifle that is able to fire them. -

Its high quality brass casing, clean burning propellant, and non-corrosive primer give it a degree of versatility which you’ll value greatly if you’ve several kinds of rifles and want to buy one ammunition for all of them.
This round’s 110 grain V-MAX projectile is highly accurate thanks both to its streamlined polymer tip and virtually perfectly concentric AMP jacket. Upon impact that tip will drive quickly down the hollow within the bullet’s precisely formed swaged lead core, initiating practically instantaneous fragmentation which is assured to bring down varmint and human-sized target alike. The V-MAX’s efficacy is in no way hindered by this round’s fast 2,375 fps muzzle velocity, either! -

It’s all about the accuracy, baby.
Every molecule of the ELD Match works toward creating the most consistent trajectory possible. Its polymer tip is ballsitically efficient and centered. Its secant ogive profile stirs up incredibly little drag, and its boat tail further enhances its ability to retain momentum downrange. The ELD Match’s AMP jacket and swaged lead core both ensure exceptional rotational stability. And because this round’s bullet is extremely heavy at 208 grains, it boasts the superior inertia it needs to treat wind drift like it’s nothing. The culmination of all these features? A 0.648 G1 ballistic coefficient .30 cal match grade bullet!
The ELD Match will send any varmint to an early grave, but don’t let its polymer tip fool you This bullet cannot expand, which makes its terminal ballistics more or less equivalent to those of an FMJ or HPBT. It’s not suitable for hunting whitetail, and it’s really no better for home defense than any run of the mill range load.
Hornady makes certain their customers can truly appreciate the ELD Match’s outstanding precision by loading their BLACK series ammo with premium brass, propellant and primers. Made in the Cornhusker State! -

These low-velocity cartridges expand predictably at varying speeds due to the design of the 190 grain Sub-X bullets. Crimped into the mouth of each Boxer-primed brass casing, the Sub-X features a flat polymer Flex-Tip that protects the cavity of the hollow point. On impact, the Flex Tip dissipates as the copper jacket curls back over the soft lead core to create devastating wound paths.
Shooters with a desire to reload spent casings can reuse the new brass. The brass casings are non-corrosive and filled with clean-igniting powders that help reduce caustic buildup in your barrel.

Might not feed in your AR mags

I tried this ammo in five different kinds of AR magazines. Failure to feed was a major issue with all of them in my rifle. I suggest trying them in your application before committing to a large order.

Hornady Subsonic 300 AAC Blackout 190 Grain Sub-X – 20 Rounds
$31.85Product Type Ammo Manufacturer Hornady Condition New Bullet Weight 190 Grain Bullet Type Polymer Tipped Use Type home defense, Subsonic Casing Type Brass Quantity 20 Ammo Caliber 300 AAC Blackout Manufacturer SKU 80877 Primer Type Boxer Magnetic No UPC Barcode 90255808773 Cost Per Round $1.59 per round This 300 AAC Blackout round by Hornady has a muzzle velocity of only 1,050 fps. That’s nowhere near what it would take to break the sound barrier, and accordingly very quiet -- especially so if your weapon is outfitted with a silencer. Still, this round is optimal for self-defense, because it features Hornady’s 190 grain Sub-X projectile.
The Sub-X sports Hornady’s Flex Tip, a post made of soft polymer nestled on the rim of the jacket and which projects downward into a precisely formed cavity within the core. Upon impact the Flex Tip builds up tremendous energy before it connects with the core, at which point it causes the bullet to mushroom outward devastatingly.
As a cartridge for self-defense, this round is cleverly loaded with temperature stable propellant that has been formulated to reduce muzzle flash upon ignition. That will preserve your vision if you ever have to engage a threat in the nighttime. In spite of its lesser muzzle velocity, this round still meets FBI protocol by penetrating up to 18” with 90 percent or greater weight retention in ballistic gel. This round will not part with its efficacy when fired in a shorter barreled rifle. -

With its 135 grain FTX bullet it promises both the accuracy and the terminal performance you need not only to hunt deer and coyote, but also to keep your homestead devoid of people who covet the treasures you’ve stored there.
The FTX features Hornady’s proprietary Flex Tip, a soft polymer spike which enhances the bullet’s ballistic coefficient and also initiates massive expansion beginning at the moment of impact. As the Flex Tip forces its way downward, Hornady’s InterLock ring keeps the bullet’s high antimony lead core and heavy jacket bound together to promote a wound channel that will extend to the vitals. The FTX also features a secant ogive profile that greatly improves its accuracy.
The motivation behind Custom ammo is to give shooters quality like they might otherwise only have experienced from a handload. These rounds utilize casings and primers that a discerning handloader would also choose for the job, and are inspected by masters of their craft. -
Hornady Custom 300 AAC Blackout 110 Grain CX – 20 Rounds

Obviously, you’re not going to be naughty by hunting with them wherever they’re banned. But this Hornady Custom ammo offers a lot more than just legal compliance with certain places’ hunting laws!
This 300 AAC Blackout cartridge is loaded with a featherweight 110 grain bullet. It’s light because it’s not weighed down by lead. The Copper alloy eXpanding hasn’t got any, which accounts for its very clean performance and very high muzzle velocity: 2,285 fps, out of Hornady’s own 16” test barrel.
The CX works hard to conserve that velocity. It features a Heat Shield tip, which uses its Drag Variability Reduction Technology flat point to reduce dispersion and even out drag, and which is also made of heat-resilient polymer. That sleek frontal profile transitions to an equally sleek midsection, which is grooved to minimize drag even further.
The CX is much stronger than an ordinary lead-core bullet. It resists fragmentation so effectively that it still has 95% or more of its original weight when it comes to a rest inside (or on the other side) of an animal. The CX fully deserves the “X” in its name, too, as it supplies eXpansion in spades. -
