Description
Hornady BLACK .300 AAC Blackout with a 110-grain V-MAX bullet is built for shooters who want a supersonic load optimized for varminting, target work, or general-purpose use out of an AR-platform rifle. The V-MAX is a polymer-tipped varmint bullet designed around rapid, controlled fragmentation on impact — the tip initiates expansion reliably at a wide range of velocities, which matters in .300 Blackout because muzzle velocity can vary noticeably with different barrel lengths. That consistent terminal behavior makes this load more predictable across different hosts than a standard FMJ round would be in the same role.
Running at a supersonic muzzle velocity, this is not a subsonic load and is not optimized for suppressed, quiet use — it is the other end of the .300 Blackout design intent, trading the subsonic advantages for a flatter trajectory and more retained energy at distance. The brass casing is reloadable, which is relevant to anyone running high volumes through a precision or varmint rig who wants to get value back from their brass. Each box contains 20 rounds. Hornady loads the BLACK line to cycle reliably across both carbine and pistol-length gas systems, which is a practical consideration given how varied .300 Blackout builds tend to be.
