Is this BS were is the load info?
Check out that crimp.
This round just keeps getting better and better, whats the expansion range on that?
The bullet is being tuned now for optimal penetration depth, and the extra-large tip not only keeps the weight down to 110 grains for more velocity, but it also allows for function at lower velocity / longer range. I really expect it to be all that and a bag of chips.
The bullet is designed to be loaded to full 5.56mm magazine length.
Expect to see many more things like this over the next year.
I think a Noveske 300BLK upper is in my future.
Glad to see that manufacturers are listening to customers asking for more offerings. This will most probably become a superior small/medium game hunting cartridge.
Any numbers for muzzle velocity or ballistic coefficient?
Not yet.
Ok so 110g great looking forward to some enegry numbers. My father in law has been useing the 115g XLC in his 300 RUM for years crazy bullets you guys have there just awsome what they will do.
Energy should be like the Hornady 110 grain ammo, except this bullet will hold together, penetrate deeper, do better on intermediate barriers, and fill the magazine.
That looks like it should do the job. I’m going to buy some to try when I can find them.
Can you share the min expansion velocity of the projectile? Im more interested in the bullet than the round.
That thing just looks wicked.
While I think all these cool hunting and subsonic bullets are great,
it is NOVEMBER of 2011 and still no cheap 120 grain FMJ from Remington.
That should be priority #1, get some good cheap ammo out there so the product can be shot for fun-then release all these cool HP’s and subs for the hunting and supressor crowd.
The lack of a cheap FMJ is what has essentially stalled the 6.8.
Hornady has the 110 grain and 200 grain and Remington has the subs, I have even seen CMMG ammo, but all these are $1 a pop or more, most folks will not be intrigued until the $10-12 box blasting ammo comes out in mass.
Barnes making this does not slow down Remington from making the UMC ammo. They are completely different factories and groups of people.
The UMC ammo has finished development, and is scheduled for production as soon as the 220 and 125 runs are complete.
UMC will be 115 grain, and it is not FMJ, it is OTM.
All good points but the 300BLK seems to be leaps and bounds ahead of the 6.8 at a similar point. Hell, at 1.5 or 2 years into 6.8 there was no ammo, different companies were producing brass with different primer pocket sizes and no one had really achieved the factory velocity specs because of jacked up chambers…
But cheap ammo will make or break any new round going in a semi-auto rifle. It sucks having $30 of ammo in one mag…
Same here.
