Best 300 BLK Round For Hog Hunting

[shol92779]

What's the best 300 BLK round for hog hunting? I'll probably be using a 10.5" pistol if that makes a difference.

If you want subsonic hunting ammo then I’d go Discreet Ballistics 100%. I’m not up on supersonic 300blk, but any reputable company loading the 110 Barnes will probably be your best bet.

I handload but the Barnes 110 is THE hunting bullet for 300 blackout

Get something other than a 300BO for hogs.

100yds, Barnes 110. Nasty round for the first 100

Barnes 110 gr seem very popular. Plenty of good field reports.

I’ve killed a pile of them with the Barnes TAC TX [emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]]][emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6][emoji6]]][emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6]]].

125 nosler BT are great . And so are the 110 Barnes
Plenty of swine have fallen to both out of my 527

Hornady 110gr cx is pretty bad medicine. And unlike Barnes, you can actually buy it

My dyslexia kicked into gear when I read this thread title as "Best 300 BLK Round Frog Hunting"

Im severely disappointed. Carry on.

My experience with the 110 V-Max has been limited to it's use in .308 Win as we once issued it (Hornady 110gr TAP) as duty ammo, kills hogs on contact.

I've not tried any supersonic loads in the .300 BO so I have nothing to offer in that regard. I see guys killing the shit out of hogs though with Barnes 110gr bullets loaded supersonic. I have sone, just have not loaded them up.

I'm 99% sub guy when using the .300 BO and I've used 220gr, 200gr, and 208gr projectiles which certainly are not expanding at all at about 1050 FPS. I have to make sure I'm within 50 yards AND make a good high/forward hit for success. Behind the shoulder with subs is a no-go based on my experience.

In my experience it depends what you're looking for. If it's just a deadly round that's hearing safe, something mono metal that opens up at low velocities. But if the idea is to kill a pig without alerting the remaining pigs, it's basically a crap shoot. Unfortunately between the sound of the bullet impacting the pig, and the inevitable squealing and thrashing, it doesn't generally work as well as you would hope.

Sounds like a good time
