Interesting read. I got back today from a hunting trip a mate and I both run 300BLK we got six stags between us I gave him some 194gr Lehigh ME to try for the first time as he’s been using the 208gr A-max for the last 4-5 years in his Rem 700 mostly for head neck shots. It was the first time he’s shot over 180m with his blackout, and I dailed out to 260m on a 26 degree up hill shot in the lungs. We both lined up the stags and fired 2 shots each in 5 seconds after they dropped and slid off the hill the hill erupted in other stags bolting up the hill. The first for the trip we shot two Hummel spikers fighting in the fog at 60m.
Back to reloading I’m running ADI 2205 for everything supers and subs, home made 300BLK brass from LC 223 cut down, sized, trimed to spec then I weight each case into 3 weight groups to get the lowest ES for best long range. My 12” barrel shoots the 194gr ME 9.1gr of ADI2205 @ 1018fps, with the same batch my mates rem 700 16” barrel is doing 1070fps. Going super I’ve only used nosler 125gr BT @ 2005 fps, I do know of a guy down south using hornady 110gr v-max and has shot 100 deer with his AR 300BLK.
