300 Blackout for deer

[Kyguy]

Who's got good real world experience using the .300 Blackout for deer? I've got access to an area that's all close range shooting, nothing past 150 yards and most of it will be inside of 75. Taking the Creed or the .308 is excessive.

killed at least 20 with SubX ammo and 300BLK with mine from 100 or less. 11" barrel. Killed 5 others with 110gr Hornady ammo, non-subsonic. I like to shoot them right up the top of the front leg. DRT usually. Not much blood trail and they run like a mfkr with a lung shot.

My daughter has one in an AR platform that she uses.
Havent had a chance to take anything with it yet. But its shooting 125 Sierra Pro Hunters and it shoots them well.

My son hunted this year with an AR .300 Blackout where closer shots are the norm. Last weekend we hunted a Soybean field edge and he harvested a 100 # Doe and a nice 8 Point. The doe was right at 100 yards but the Buck was crossing the field at 185 yards. I believe his total for the years so far is 8 does and 2 Bucks.

He rolls his own and is using 150 grain SST bullets. Whatever his recipe is, works. What surprises the heck of me is that most of his kills are pass throughs. 20-30 yards is the average run with 1 of the Bucks being a bang flop.

I will say that he is an excellent shot however, I've been pleasantly surprised at the killing power.

Depending on the replies, I might be looking for one dirt cheap too. LOL

Yeah, debating the CVA Scout 14" pistol as an option too.... or re-barreling one of the .223 rifles I have.... or just buying another rifle. Too many choices.

That cva would be handy!
