Anybody shot any of this ammo, it caught my eye and was wondering if anyone had any experience with it?
Wow, I'm wondering what the twist rate is in that barrel. My .300 is built on the AR platform with a pistol gassed 10.5" melonite coated barrel, 1:8 twist. And I'm getting better groups with most of the 220gr stuff, but the Remington shoots the tightest group through my gun. I've not had a single failure after more than 200 rounds. Of course, it's not a long range build, but accurate none the less. The Hornady was higher priced and I bought 200 rounds of it before I'd bought anything else. Except for some PNW I bought recently, it shoots the worst group. Wish I'd spent the money on the Remington.I disagree. I had one round not even go off after a full hit in the primer from my Remington 700 AAC .300 blackout rifle and I frequently see fliers in a 5-shot group from this ammo. The Hornady 208 A-max from this rifle is incredibly quiet and significantly more consistently accurate. Again this in a bolt action so I'm not sure what accuracy level you are looking for. The Hornady 110 V-max...is INCREDIBLY accurate and I can put every round in a 0.5" (or better) group.
You may be right about length and twist. My 7.5" blackout AR likes the heavy stuff better.Wow, I'm wondering what the twist rate is in that barrel.

yeah, I can't make that load work for me and stay quiet at the same time. If you happen to have any of that 220gr Remington left though, I'd gladly trade you the Hornady 208 grainers I have left.You may be right about length and twist. My 7.5" blackout AR likes the heavy stuff better.
The 700 is 5R rifled 1:7 twist at 16" long.
When I tell you I don't think there is a more accurate .300 blackout rifle than this one with 110 v-max, I'd put it up against anything. The .5" group is 5 rounds at 100 yds through a kestrel .308 suppressor
Also. I wouldn't trust velocity data from semi-autos. Way too much spent gas on action movement that affects velocity. Take that all with a grain of salt. I'll tell you what, I'll chrono my Remington with the loads I pictured and let you know if his data stacks up
I bought a bulk of .300 AAC brass on a deal a while back and haven't gone any further. In fact, the bench is still set up for 44 mag that I was loading this past summer. Looking forward to nasty winter cabin fever days approaching.Exactly! I just wish my 168, 165, and 150 would cross over! I have everything for. 308. I also have built new .300 from cutting and trimming .308 brass already...it wasn't easy. I am thinking of building a jig to hold brass to cut them down closer to trim height quicker. I have tons of .223 (too much), and it would be nice to have a couple of thousand rounds of .300
