300 BLK reloading recipes data for bolt action.

[PAV]

I am interested in reloading data for 300BLK bolt action.
To be more specific, I have Ruger American Scout planning to use for hunting.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

I have had good luck with H110 in the 300x221.
Here is what Quickload says for a Barnes 130TTSX.

Thank you,

I just ordered 2 lb of IMR 4227. Some people say it's more accurate then H110. I'll find out. I am planning to use 150gr to 200gr bullets. Should be good for hog hunt within 150 yards.

Lead free bullets are longer than lead bullets so you generally go lighter so you can push them faster to get more energy out of them.

Here is a 150gr TTSX over 4227.

The 150gr bullet is costing you about 12% energy loss over the 130gr bullet.

Watch out for cut down & reformed LC 5.56 brass. I had some jamming issues, I think with the extractor

Do you think 130gr or lighter will be enough to take down hog? I know it all about shot placement. I'm not taking about head shot.
With my .308 150gr bullet I have no problems taking down hog @ 250 yards. I never hunted with lighter bullets.

A lot of people use the 2000fps or 1000ft-lbs minimums for deer and some people use those for Hog as well.
If you follow the 2000fps rule, neither the 150 or the 130 are much good in the little blackout.

Do you think 130gr or lighter will be enough to take down hog? I know it all about shot placement. I'm not taking about head shot.
With my .308 150gr bullet I have no problems taking down hog @ 250 yards. I never hunted with lighter bullets.

308 is a whole different level of velocity/energy.

308 has more energy at 300yds than the 300 blackout has at the muzzle.

300 BLK reloading recipes data for bolt action.

For Hogs try a heavy sub sonic bullet. It will pass thru both sides of the hog including shoulders.

200 to 240 grain bullet will do it.

So will almost any non-expanding bullet at supersonic speeds but that's not necessarily the best way to kill things.

Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it.

For a pig or a hog the kill zone is the front shoulder area. If you hit there, it is an ethical kill.

300 BO

IVE NEVER USED THIS FORUM SO BARE WITH ME BUT DO WE JUST POST WHAT WE WANT AAS FAR AS AMMO OR WAIT TILL SOME3ONE ELSE POSTS?? I NEED 300 BO BADLY IS WHY IASK?!

[scotty99]

I just did a fair amount of velocity testing with a 130gr 300BO load and Alliant 300-MP was the hands-down speed king. It was 150fps faster than H110 or 4227 in my AR.

With a longer barrel, Lil Gun can also be a good choice.

Barnes makes a 110gr. TTSX in .30cal that you might get close to 2400fps in a bolt gun. At 200 yards or less that should be plenty for an average hog.
