Overview

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.

Gorilla's current loaded-ammunition page lists the 20-round GA300205PS box at 1,040 fps with a 0.42 G1 ballistic coefficient. The companion projectile load-data sheet identifies the GAP300205 projectile as a 205gr expanding subsonic 300 Blackout projectile with a 16-inch test barrel and load-data velocities ranging from 970 to 1,040 fps depending on powder. The engineered nose cavity is intended for subsonic expansion, but users should still verify function, point of impact, and terminal expectations in their own barrel length.

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.

Key Features

  • 205-grain solid copper bullet with engineered expansion nose cavity
  • Loaded-ammunition page lists 1,040 fps
  • 0.42 G1 ballistic coefficient listed by Gorilla
  • Engineered nose cavity for subsonic expansion
  • Solid copper construction provides near 100% weight retention
  • Small-batch manufacturing with rigorous quality control testing
  • Premium brass cases loaded for consistent velocity across temperature ranges

Pros

  • +Engineered nose cavity provides reliable expansion at subsonic velocities
  • +Solid copper construction ensures maximum weight retention
  • +Small-batch quality control delivers consistent lot-to-lot performance
  • +Effective from short barrels common on suppressed .300 BLK platforms
