If you go subsonic (muzzle velocity lower than 1,125 fps), then you\u2019ll observe much steeper bullet drop and weaker striking energy \u2013 albeit with the accompanying advantages of lower recoil and softer report.

That\u2019s largely due to a physical phenomenon known as \u201ctransonic destabilization\u201d (TD), wherein a projectile picks up a wobble as its velocity slows from supersonic to subsonic. If a bullet has a supersonic muzzle velocity, then TD will necessarily cause it to start wobbling slightly at some point downrange. Conversely, a bullet with a subsonic muzzle velocity cannot be affected by TD.<\/p>\n<p>This BLACK series cartridge by Hornady isn\u2019t just accurate because its bullet keeps its tip so reliably trained on its target. That bullet is the A-MAX, which combines an ultra low-drag polymer tip, sleek and concentric secant ogive profile Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket, swaged lead core, and boat tail to attain one of the highest G1 ballistic coefficients a factory-loaded 300 BLK projectile has ever had: 0.648! That\u2019s the mark of a bullet which truly thumbs its nose at the frontal air resistance and wind deflection.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t magically accurate subsonic 300 BLK ammo, mind you. You\u2019re signing up for high-arching trajectory parabolas when you go subsonic, so aim carefully.<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-324\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-324\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th colspan=\"4\" class=\"column-1\">80891 300 BLK 208gr A-MAX; 16\" bbl; 0.648 G1 BC<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Range (yds)<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Velocity (fps)<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Energy (ft lbs)<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Elevation (in)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">0<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">1020<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">481<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">-1.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">50<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">1003<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">465<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">3.6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">100<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">987<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">450<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">150<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">973<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">437<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">-12.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">200<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">959<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">425<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">-34.1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">250<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">946<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">413<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">-65.3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-9\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">300<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">933<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">402<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">-106.1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-324 from cache -->\n<h3>Best Supersonic 300 AAC Blackout Ammo for Varmint Hunting<\/h3>\n<h4>Nosler Varmageddon 110 Grain FB Tipped<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Product No. 69193<\/li>\n<li>Bullet Weight: 110 Grains<\/li>\n<li>Bullet Type: Flat Base (FB) Tipped<\/li>\n<li>Muzzle Velocity: 2,200 fps<\/li>\n<li>Muzzle Energy: 1,182 ft lbs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I\u2019m not too interested in varmint hunting with subsonic 300 BLK.

This round\u2019s bullet is very light and has a turbocharged muzzle velocity to show for it \u2013 almost Mach 2! The Varmageddon bullet sports a flat base, which increases short-to-mid-range accuracy by giving the propellant gasses a clean, uniform surface to push against (but which lacks the drag-reducing effect of a boat tail). Once the bullet\u2019s tip stabs into varmint flesh, it rams inward to catalyze grenade-like fragmentation.<\/p>\n<p>Use this ammo on nothing larger than a yote and you\u2019ll be a legend.<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-325\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-325\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th colspan=\"4\" class=\"column-1\">69193 300 BLK 110gr FB Tipped; 16\" bbl; 0.292 G1 BC<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Range (yds)<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">Velocity (fps)<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">Energy (ft lbs)<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">Elevation (in)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">0<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">2200<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1182<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">-1.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">50<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">2064<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">1040<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0.3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">100<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">1933<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">913<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">150<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">1808<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">798<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">-2.6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">200<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">1688<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">696<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">-7.9<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">250<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">1575<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">606<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">-16.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-9\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">300<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">1469<\/td><td class=\"column-3\">527<\/td><td class=\"column-4\">-28<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-325 from cache -->\n<h3>The Takeaway<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter wp-image-11892 size-full\" title=\"Firing 300 Blackout at the range\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoforsale.com\/ammo-club\/media\/DSC2684-Web.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoforsale.com\/ammo-club\/media\/DSC2684-Web.jpg\" alt=\"The author firing 300 blackout at the shooting range\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%27683%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201024%20683%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%27683%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoforsale.com\/ammo-club\/media\/DSC2684-Web-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ammoforsale.com\/ammo-club\/media\/DSC2684-Web-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoforsale.com\/ammo-club\/media\/DSC2684-Web-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.ammoforsale.com\/ammo-club\/media\/DSC2684-Web-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.ammoforsale.com\/ammo-club\/media\/DSC2684-Web-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoforsale.com\/ammo-club\/media\/DSC2684-Web-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.ammoforsale.com\/ammo-club\/media\/DSC2684-Web.jpg 1024w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>300 BLK ammo is divisible into two categories: supersonic, and subsonic.
