Jones with SSK Industries developed a wildcat round in the early 1990s that he called the 300 Whisper. Advanced Armament Corporation developed the round in 2010 with the idea to shoot .30-caliber bullets from an M4 platform while using 5.56\/.223 BCGs and magazines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-the-300-blk-is-a-medium-range-hunting-round\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-best-300-blk-ammo-for-hunting\" title=\"Best 300 BLK Ammo For Hunting\" data-level=\"2\">The 300 BLK Is A Medium Range Hunting Round<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-300-blk-hunting-ammo\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-best-300-blk-ammo-for-hunting\" title=\"Best 300 BLK Ammo For Hunting\" data-level=\"2\">300 BLK Hunting Ammo<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-how-300-blk-hunting-ammo-was-tested\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-best-300-blk-ammo-for-hunting\" title=\"Best 300 BLK Ammo For Hunting\" data-level=\"2\">How 300 BLK Hunting Ammo Was Tested<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-best-heavy-bullet-winchester-power-point\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-best-300-blk-ammo-for-hunting\" title=\"Best 300 BLK Ammo For Hunting\" data-level=\"2\">Best Heavy Bullet: Winchester Power Point<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-best-traditional-bullet-federal-power-shok-nbsp\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-best-300-blk-ammo-for-hunting\" title=\"Best 300 BLK Ammo For Hunting\" data-level=\"2\">Best Traditional Bullet: Federal Power Shok\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-most-accurate-copper-bullet-hornady-custom-nbsp\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-best-300-blk-ammo-for-hunting\" title=\"Best 300 BLK Ammo For Hunting\" data-level=\"2\">Most Accurate Copper Bullet: Hornady Custom\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-best-inexpensive-hunting-round-fiocchi-hyperformance-nbsp\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-best-300-blk-ammo-for-hunting\" title=\"Best 300 BLK Ammo For Hunting\" data-level=\"2\">Best Inexpensive Hunting Round: Fiocchi Hyperformance\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-best-long-range-round-sierra-gamechanger-nbsp\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-best-300-blk-ammo-for-hunting\" title=\"Best 300 BLK Ammo For Hunting\" data-level=\"2\">Best Long Range Round: Sierra GameChanger\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-fastest-round-gorilla-hunt-nbsp\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-best-300-blk-ammo-for-hunting\" title=\"Best 300 BLK Ammo For Hunting\" data-level=\"2\">Fastest Round: Gorilla Hunt\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-most-energy-and-accuracy-nosler-ballistic-tip\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-best-300-blk-ammo-for-hunting\" title=\"Best 300 BLK Ammo For Hunting\" data-level=\"2\">Most Energy And Accuracy: Nosler Ballistic Tip<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-best-copper-expanding-round-barnes-vor-tx\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-best-300-blk-ammo-for-hunting\" title=\"Best 300 BLK Ammo For Hunting\" data-level=\"2\">Best Copper Expanding Round: Barnes VOR-TX<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-conclusion-on-300-blk-ammo\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-best-300-blk-ammo-for-hunting\" title=\"Best 300 BLK Ammo For Hunting\" data-level=\"2\">Conclusion on 300 BLK Ammo<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I gravitate toward 110- and 125-grain bullets, mostly for the velocity and how I\u2019ve seen them perform. Also included are some 115-grain bullet loads and 150-grain options, but in my opinion if you want to shoot soft-recoiling 150-grain bullets, dust off your granddad\u2019s<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/search?keyword=.30-30%20lever%20action%20rifles\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-best-300-blk-ammo-for-hunting\" title=\"Best 300 BLK Ammo For Hunting\"> .30-30 lever action rifle<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They called it <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/silencing-300-aac-blackout\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-best-300-blk-ammo-for-hunting\" title=\"Best 300 BLK Ammo For Hunting\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"1209\">.300 AAC Blackout<\/a>. The round was originally meant for military and defense situations. Loaded with 200-grain bullets it runs subsonic at 1,000 fps. Change the bullet weight to 110- to 150-grains and go supersonic with muzzle velocities closer to 2,300 fps and the round easily makes the jump to hunting applications. Part of my hesitation with the caliber was bullet and load options were few back then. Times have changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-300-blk-is-a-medium-range-hunting-round\">The 300 BLK Is A Medium Range Hunting Round<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As it stands the 300 BLK is a great medium-range hunting cartridge. If you hunt wild pigs or whitetail deer, it is a great option. The round has been compared to the <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/search?keyword=.30-30%20winchester\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-best-300-blk-ammo-for-hunting\" title=\"Best 300 BLK Ammo For Hunting\">.30-30 Winchester<\/a> and while they are both medium-range calibers, the 300 BLK performs more like a 7.62x39mm round of SKS and AK fame. It has low recoil, is accurate, and makes a nice hole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-300-blk-hunting-ammo\">300 BLK Hunting Ammo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today there are a lot of different 300 BLK ammo from a variety of manufacturers, with different bullet types and weights. I went to ammunitiontogo.com since this website offers a lot of choices when it comes to 300 BLK hunting ammo with expanding bullets. The FMJ and open-tip match bullets are for training and are not included in this list. Nor is subsonic ammo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-300-blk-hunting-ammo-was-tested\">How 300 BLK Hunting Ammo Was Tested<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I ran all the 300 BLK hunting ammo through a 16-inch barrel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ruger.com\/products\/ar556\/overview.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-best-300-blk-ammo-for-hunting\" title=\"Best 300 BLK Ammo For Hunting\">Ruger SR-556<\/a> Takedown with a <a href=\"https:\/\/sightmark.com\/products\/wraiththermal\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"hunt365-best-300-blk-ammo-for-hunting\" title=\"Best 300 BLK Ammo For Hunting\">Sightmark Wraith Mini Thermal optic<\/a>. Testing 300 BLK hunting ammo through one gun provides a good idea of how the ammo will perform in that particular gun, but it also gives you a good idea of the consistency of the ammo. Most 300 BLK rifles have a 16-inch barrel especially if it is an AR platform. Most bolt actions have a similar barrel length, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-2556-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Ruger SR-556 Takedown with a Sightmark Wraith Mini Thermal optic\" class=\"wp-image-195867\" title=\"3 - hunt365 - Best 300 BLK Ammo For Hunting\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-2556-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-2556-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-2556-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-2556-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-2556.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">All 300 BLK hunting ammo was tested through a Ruger SR-556 Takedown with a Sightmark Wraith Mini Thermal Optic.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I chronographed the rounds to gather muzzle velocity and I calculated muzzle energy.

Translated the GameCharger bullet flies through the air easier and there is less drag on the bullet so with a 100-yard zero the bullet only drops about 2.8 inches at 150 yards. Not exactly long-range but we are talking about the 300 BLK, aren\u2019t we?

The bullet is manufactured using an extrusion process for the copper jacket and then the lead core is added inside the jacket. The polymer tip was new at the time and is commonly used today by other ammunition manufacturers. Accuracy is sub-MOA in 300 BLK and every animal I\u2019ve killed with it dropped quickly.
