Overview

Hornady BLACK 300 AAC Blackout 110-grain V-MAX is a fast supersonic loading for .300 Blackout applications that prioritize rapid expansion. Part of Hornady's BLACK line specifically engineered to function across various AR platform configurations, this ammunition features the proven V-MAX polymer-tipped bullet. The polymer tip initiates rapid expansion upon impact while the boat tail design supports accuracy and flat trajectories.

The 110-grain bullet weight provides a useful balance for .300 Blackout supersonic applications, delivering 2,375 fps muzzle velocity and 1,378 ft-lbs of energy from standard barrel lengths. This combination provides rapid terminal effect on small-to-medium game and defensive scenarios while maintaining supersonic velocities well beyond 300 yards. The ballistic coefficient of 0.29 supports consistent downrange performance, while the V-MAX design prioritizes fast expansion over deep barrier penetration.

Hornady engineered this ammunition to function reliably across direct impingement, gas piston, suppressed, unsuppressed, bolt action, and various barrel lengths. This versatility makes it an excellent choice for hunters, home defenders, and tactical operators who need ammunition that performs consistently regardless of platform configuration. The brass cases are reloadable, and the ammunition's consistent performance makes it suitable for both hunting applications (varmints and medium game under 50 lbs) and personal defense scenarios.
