For hunting applications where the 300 Blackout 110 grain V-Max excels — white-tail at woods distances, feral hogs in thick brush, and coyote out to 200 yards — Ammo Inc pairs the Hornady V-Max polymer-tip projectile with a supersonic propellant charge that delivers 2350 feet per second at the muzzle. The 300 AAC Blackout cartridge, a necked-up derivative of the 5.56 NATO case, was designed for short-barreled rifles and suppressed use, but this lighter 110-grain load prioritizes velocity over subsonic stealth. You get flat trajectory, rapid expansion on soft tissue, and adequate energy (1349 ft-lbs) for medium game inside 150 yards.
Performance at a Glance
The Hornady V-Max bullet — a match-grade projectile with a polymer tip over a lead core — initiates expansion on contact, fragmenting to create wide wound channels. Ammo Inc loads this bullet in reloadable brass cases with non-corrosive Boxer primers. The G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.29 and sectional density of 0.166 place this round in the light-for-caliber category, optimized for velocity and shock rather than deep penetration. Twenty rounds ship per box, DOT-regulated for ground transport only.

This load sits at the lighter end of the 300 Blackout ammo spectrum — faster and flatter than the common 125-grain and 150-grain hunting options, but less forgiving on barrier penetration and wind drift. Inside 150 yards on soft-skinned game, the V-Max’s rapid expansion compensates for the lighter mass.
Safe Handling & Compliance
Federal law requires purchasers to be at least 18 years old for rifle and shotgun ammunition, and at least 21 for handgun ammunition. Ammunition cannot be shipped to certain states, counties, and cities — review our ammunition shipping restrictions before ordering. Store ammunition in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and out of reach of unauthorized users.
- Treat every firearm as if it is loaded; keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire; never point the muzzle at anything you are not willing to destroy; be sure of your target and what is beyond it.
- Verify local and state regulations governing ammunition purchase, possession, and transport before ordering.
- This ammunition contains lead. Wash hands after handling and avoid inhalation of combustion residues. California Proposition 65 warning applies.
