Barnes worked with AAC to create a 300BLK-optimized bullet that provides the ideal cartridge length and an expansion threshold designed around 300BLK’s velocities. FEATURED: 300BLK Barnes 300 AAC Blackout-optimized bullets provide the terminal effects that you expect and reliable intermediate-barrier performance from even the shortest-barreled carbines and PDWs. Our new oversized plastic tips add to our existing bullet technology to keep the weight down and the velocity up, for a flatter trajectory and optimal penetration even at extended ranges. 300 AAC Blackout, created by Advanced Armament Corp. and Remington Arms, is a reliable 30-caliber solution for the AR-15 platform that uses existing-inventory 5.56mm magazines for a full 30 round capacity. The highly-efficient cartridge can change between standard full power ammunition and quiet-when-suppressed subsonic loads without any adjustments needed to the firearm. It has as much energy from a 16-inch barrel as 5.56mm does from a 24-inch barrel, all while having less flash, blast, and noise. Being 30 caliber, 300 BLK is less effected by obstacles, such as automobile glass, than 5.56mm. The gain in frontal area from 5.56mm to 30 cal is 89.1% - even more of a boost than the 60.7% size advantage that 45 Auto has over 9mm. 300 AAC Blackout is a SAAMI-standard cartridge that is supported by over 150 companies. Even with today’s shortest-barreled carbines and PDWs, ven Barnes 300BLK-optimized bullets provide reliable expansion and dependable performance through intermediate-barriers like auto glass and car doors. The custom-tuned bullet profile, made reliable by our newly-developed plastic tip, provides the key to exceptional feeding and operation with standard AR-15 magazines.
