300 AAC Blackout

[20X11]

Hunting? Depends...could be excellent depending on range/animal size. Inside of 400 yds on Deer or Antelope size game the ballistics indicate it would be fantastic. Look at the Atlanta Arms 125gr Nosler ballistic tip load at about 2300 ft/sec. If you are going to hunt Antelope at 500-700 yds, I wouldn't use it. If you are going to hunt elk at more than 200 yds (with a 147 gr load for instance), I wouldn't use it. Run a ballistics program(plenty free online) on the desired bullet/velocity and you will see the useful hunting range and energy this round has. I plan to hunt deer with mine. Hogs? great round for them as well.

Think .30-.30 rifle...would you take it on your hunt?...if so 300 AAC blackout is a good choice.
