Re: Hornady 300 Blackout 208gr. Amax Subsonic ammo not consistently subsonic?

Knowing temp and velocity would be helpful. Temps were about 70's, no idea on velocity. At 70, they will start cracking around 1125 fps. That’s pretty fast for a “subsonic round”, but I’m pretty sure that Remington got tired of complaints and their ammo no longer has Subsonic anywhere on the box. I...

Hornady 300 Blackout 208gr. Amax Subsonic ammo not consistently subsonic?

So, I've shot Remington, Sig Sauer, and Lellier & Bellot subsonic ammo and it has all been subsonic. I bought some Hornady 300 Blackout 208gr. Amax subsonic ammo on sale and shot some and I'd say that the majority of it is not subsonic. I wasn't sure if it was just me so I loaded my Ruger Americ...

Re: Frustrated with my CZ 527!!!

My new 300 BO Ruger American Ranch Rifle wouldn't load either. I sent it in and when it came back they had re-barreled it. It works so smooth now and feeds everything from light target loads to heavy deer hunting loads. Couldn't be happier.

Maybe send yours in.

Re: Ruger American Ranch

I like .300BO Lancer mags......clear and reliable. However, with lighter loads they have been a little bit noisy.

I have .300BO Pmags and they are nice but so tight I have to slam it into the rifle to seat them and that's why I went to Lancer.

Re: Meet my latest build - with special thanks to Dellet

I did do the whole class with subs but that probably wasn't the best choice for the 100 yard stuff. Since it wasn't really a competition, I wanted to see how the load with the 180 grain subs held up to the 'default' on the reticle for 100 yards. Unfortunately the group size opened up so much I am n...

Anyone have poor results with Lehigh Defense 300 Blackout 194gr. Subsonic Maximum Expansion on Deer?

I tried this Lehigh Defense 300 Blackout Whisper 194gr Subsonic Maximum Expansion on deer this year. Out of a 8.5" barrel AR with suppressor. Had a medium sized doe about 40 yards away. Took a nice relaxed, broadside shot on a doe. Doe jumped and it appeared the front shoulder was broken. Waite...

300 Blackout 190gr Sub-X® Subsonic - reliable and proven Subsonic round for Deer?

300 Blackout 190gr Sub-X® Subsonic, just saw a box of this at Fleet Farm.



1.) Is this a proven and reliable subsonic round for deer?



2.) If not, what is a better subsonic 300 BO round for deer?

Re: Have they fixed Ruger American Ranch Rifle's feeding problem???

thanks for the update....so there is something more than just the mags going on...pretty sure you didn't keep your original 2 mags but would have been nice to know if they worked in the "new" gun. however I also can say that the lucky 13 mag works with ALL my different 300 loads....weird ...
