300BLK Hunting ammo

[contenderv07]

I'm trying to find some ammo for my 300BLK. I have been searching high and low for barnes VOR-TX but can't find it anywhere (other than gunbroker for way too high). Does anyone have any recommendations for a different bullet for hunting?? I was looking at the hornady 110gr custom or the federal powershok 120gr. Thanks for any help

Gorilla 300 AAC BlackOut, 110gr Barnes TAC-TX - 160 Round Bucket This load is manufactured to the same insane quality standards as the other Gorilla Ammunition match loads. This product features a 110gr Barnes TAC-TX projectile and a factory new brass case. The TAC-TX has an all-copper design...

Don’t know how it compares to the Barnes pricing but it’s solid stuff

This ^

That's about how much the Barnes load goes for in normal times. Your gun (and the deer) won't know the difference.

On another note I've killed a handful of deer with the 110 gr Hornady VMAX in either the Custom or Black loading (same/same.) The deer have all dropped where they stood.

Do you need bullets or loaded ammo? I’ve got a box of 110 tax-tx item#30321 if that’ll help you.

looking for loaded ammo right now

Most any 110-125 grain ammo will work. The hornandy SST bullet is also a hammer.

Defender ammo has some decent stuff for cheap.

I ran a few boxes of their subsonic and its was terrible accuracy. Even at 50 yards

thanks everyone!! I just ordered some of the Gorilla 110gr varmageddon. I really need to build a more traditional caliber hunting rifle LOL

That's odd. We have taken loads of hogs with them.

I have multiple .308s. I prefer the .300 BLK. Plenty for NC Whitetails.

I have a bucket of that varmageddon load. Haven't shot a deer with it but it should work. You likely won't have an exit wound so tracking may be tough if it doesn't drop. If it performs like the VMAX though the vitals will be shredded/liquefied and it'll drop in it's tracks.

Gorilla has some awesome ammo. We ordered subs from them in 6.5 and was surprised with how good they perform
