Hrndy Black 300blk 208gr Amax 20/200

Hornady Black 300 Blackout 208 Grain A-MAX ammunition delivers subsonic ballistics optimized for suppressed rifle platforms and short-barrel configurations. This 20-round box loads a 208-grain A-MAX projectile at 1,020 feet per second, engineering subsonic velocity for use with sound suppressors while maintaining terminal performance in intermediate-range engagements. Hornady Black ammunition is purpose-built for AR-15 platforms chambered in 300 BLK, feeding reliably across a broad spectrum of bolt carrier configurations.

The 208-grain bullet weight is deliberate in 300 Blackout ballistics—heavier projectiles inherently travel at subsonic speeds while retaining sufficient kinetic energy for intermediate targets. A-MAX bullets feature a tangent ogive, which improves seating consistency in magazine-fed rifles and reduces feeding issues common to some conventional bullet profiles. Muzzle velocity of 1,020 fps ensures the round stays subsonic downrange, critical for suppressor performance and hearing safety in enclosed or populated ranges. The combination of mass and velocity produces predictable point-of-impact shifts when transitioning between suppressed and unsuppressed platforms.

This load suits precision rifle training, suppressed duty use, and hunting applications where subsonic signature matters. Law enforcement and military units employing short-barreled rifles with integrated suppressors standardize on subsonic 300 BLK loads for noise mitigation without sacrificing point-of-aim accuracy. Hornady's manufacturing tolerances ensure consistent chamber pressures, critical for extracting reliable accuracy from short-dwell-time platforms like 7.5- or 8-inch barrel rifles. The 20-round box format enables standard magazine loading without compromises in ammunition availability or logistics.
