.300 AAC Blackout VMAX performance - 12/22/17 05:28 PM
Got curious and looked at factory loads of the 300 blackout.
I'm a fan of 55gr VMAX in my 22-250 but I only shoot neck or head. The one body shot I took was recovered and very dead (great damage) but no blood trail. The one shoulder shot my dad took had to be shot again because we didn't give her enough time and she went into a thicket.
So, with the increased weight and lessened velocity, how does this bullet in this cartridge perform? Specifically the Hornady BLACK box, because those are the specs I'm going on.
