The Hornady American Gunner 300 Blackout 125-grain hollow point delivers consistent terminal performance for hunting and tactical applications. This ammunition combines Hornady's precision manufacturing with an affordable price point that doesn't compromise on quality or reliability.
What Makes This Different
American Gunner ammunition features select propellants optimized for each cartridge, ensuring consistent velocities and enhanced accuracy across different barrel lengths. The 125-grain hollow point projectile expands reliably at 300 Blackout velocities while maintaining structural integrity for deep penetration. Each cartridge undergoes rigorous quality control testing to meet Hornady's performance standards typically reserved for premium hunting lines.
Key Features
- 125-grain hollow point bullet designed for controlled expansion
- Optimized powder charge for consistent 300 Blackout performance
- Brass cases suitable for reloading applications
- Boxer primers for reliable ignition in various conditions
- 50 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (500 total rounds)

This load performs effectively in both supersonic and hunting applications where expansion is critical. The 125-grain weight provides an optimal balance between velocity retention and energy transfer for medium game hunting within 200 yards. Law enforcement agencies appreciate the consistent performance across different barrel lengths, from 8-inch SBRs to 16-inch carbines. The hollow point design ensures reliable expansion while the controlled construction prevents over-penetration in defensive scenarios.
