Overview

Federal American Eagle Suppressor 300 AAC Blackout 220-grain OTM represents the most economical path to high-volume subsonic shooting. Specifically engineered for consistent accuracy and reduced noise in suppressed firearms, this ammunition delivers match-grade precision at subsonic velocities without the premium pricing of expanding defensive loads. The 220-grain Open Tip Match bullet provides excellent ballistic coefficient (0.650 G1) and bullet length (1.49 inches), ensuring stable flight and consistent point of impact from shot to shot.

With a muzzle velocity of 1,000 fps and muzzle energy of 488 ft-lbs, Federal's 220gr OTM remains comfortably below the speed of sound throughout its flight path. The clean-burning powder formulation is optimized for subsonic operation, reducing carbon buildup in gas systems and suppressors during extended shooting sessions. This makes it an ideal choice for suppressed training, where high volume shooting demands economical ammunition that won't foul the system or require excessive cleaning.

While the OTM bullet design prioritizes accuracy over expansion, making it less suitable for defensive applications than purpose-built expanding bullets like Hornady Sub-X, it excels in its intended role as affordable subsonic training ammunition. The brass cases are non-corrosive and reloadable, adding further value for shooters who reload. For shooters who want to maximize trigger time with their suppressed .300 Blackout rifles without breaking the bank, Federal American Eagle 220gr OTM provides match-grade accuracy at training ammunition prices.
