The Hornady Black 300 Blackout 110gr NTX delivers lead-free performance optimized for both subsonic and supersonic applications. This premium ammunition features Hornady's NTX (Non-Toxic eXpanding) bullet technology, making it compliant with lead-free hunting regulations while maintaining terminal effectiveness.
What Makes This Different
The NTX bullet construction uses a polymer tip with a gilding metal jacket and compressed copper core, eliminating lead entirely without sacrificing expansion characteristics. Unlike traditional lead-core bullets, the NTX maintains consistent weight retention of 95% or higher while creating reliable wound channels. The optimized powder charge delivers consistent velocities around 2,375 fps from 16-inch barrels, providing flat trajectory performance at hunting distances.
Key Features
- 110-grain NTX lead-free bullet with polymer tip for reliable expansion
- Compressed copper core construction ensures 95%+ weight retention
- Optimized for 300 Blackout chamber specifications and feeding
- Boxer-primed brass cases suitable for reloading
- Muzzle velocity of approximately 2,375 fps from 16-inch barrel
- Compliant with lead-free hunting zones and regulations
- 20 rounds per box for convenient range sessions
This load excels in hunting applications where lead-free ammunition is required, delivering effective terminal performance on medium game at typical 300 Blackout engagement distances. The lighter bullet weight provides higher velocity than heavier subsonic loads while maintaining manageable recoil characteristics. Range testing shows consistent grouping performance in quality barrels, with the polymer tip initiating reliable expansion at impact velocities above 1,800 fps.
