Gorilla Ammunition
Solid copper subsonic .300 BLK with engineered nose for reliable expansion at subsonic velocities.
Gorilla Ammunition 300 AAC Blackout 205-grain Subsonic represents the boutique ammunition manufacturer's approach to solving the subsonic expansion problem. Using a solid copper bullet with a precisely engineered nose cavity, Gorilla has created a subsonic load that delivers reliable expansion at velocities where conventional hollow points typically fail to open. The 205-grain bullet weight provides excellent sectional density for deep penetration, while the copper construction ensures near-complete weight retention throughout the wound channel.
At 1,030 fps from a 16-inch barrel with 483 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, the load remains comfortably subsonic while delivering more energy than many competing subsonic offerings. The engineered nose cavity is designed to initiate expansion through fluid dynamics rather than relying on the high-velocity impact forces that conventional hollow points require. This allows the bullet to begin opening at impact velocities as low as 900 fps, making it effective from the shorter barrels commonly used on suppressed .300 Blackout platforms where velocity loss is a significant factor.
Gorilla Ammunition has built a reputation for producing premium, small-batch ammunition with meticulous quality control. Each lot is tested for velocity consistency, accuracy, and terminal performance before release. The brass cases are sourced from premium manufacturers and loaded with carefully measured propellant charges to ensure consistent subsonic velocities across temperature ranges. For hunters using suppressed .300 Blackout platforms on medium game or for defensive users who demand both quiet operation and terminal effectiveness, Gorilla's 205gr Subsonic provides a premium option from a manufacturer dedicated to the .300 Blackout cartridge.
