For shooters running 300 AAC Blackout ammo in AR-15 or bolt platforms, the Magtech 115-grain jacketed hollow point strikes a balance between velocity and bullet weight — 2280 fps at the muzzle from a 16-inch barrel, generating 1328 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle. This is a supersonic load, meaning you hear the crack downrange and the bullet stabilizes quickly in standard 1:7 or 1:8 twist barrels. The 300 AAC Blackout cartridge, also known as 7.62x35mm, was designed to deliver .30-caliber performance from the AR-15 magazine and bolt, switching between subsonic and supersonic loads without platform changes. This 115-grain offering from Magtech sits in the middle of the supersonic weight range — lighter than 125-grain hunting pills, heavier than 110-grain match loads — making it a do-everything option for the range, hog hunters, or those stocking a defensive carbine.
Built for the Box
Magtech manufactures components in-house at one of the largest small-arms facilities in the world, controlling quality from raw brass to finished round. Each case is brass with a boxer primer, so once-fired hulls reload cleanly — no berdan anvil or crimped primer pocket to fight. The jacketed hollow point bullet uses a copper jacket over a lead core with a cavity at the nose, designed to expand on soft tissue while holding together through light barrier material. The 0.325 G1 ballistic coefficient means this bullet sheds velocity faster than a sleek match projectile, but for 300 Blackout ammo applications inside 200 yards, the BC is more than adequate. Non-corrosive powder and primer keep your gas system and chamber clean, and the 16-inch test barrel velocity of 2280 fps translates to real-world speeds from most carbine-length uppers.

This load fits any SAAMI-spec 300 Blackout chamber — AR-15 uppers, bolt rifles, and single-shot platforms chambered in 7.62x35mm. Magtech lists the intended use as range and target, though hunters use 115-grain JHP loads on hogs and deer inside 150 yards where state law permits hollow points on game.
Safe Handling & Compliance
Federal law requires purchasers to be at least 18 years old for rifle 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.
- Follow the four rules of firearm safety at all times — treat every firearm as if loaded, never point at anything you are not willing to destroy, keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire, and know your target and what lies beyond it.
- Verify your state and local laws permit purchase and possession of 300 AAC Blackout ammunition — some jurisdictions restrict hollow-point projectiles for certain uses.
- This product contains lead. Handling, discharging, or cleaning firearms can result in exposure to lead and other substances known to cause birth defects, reproductive harm, and cancer. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. For more information, visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
