I just came in from the woods hunting with my suppressed 300blk bolt action ruger american. This is my second year with this rifle and I have harvested about 10 deer ranging from fawns to a large 10pt with this setup. I bought this gun because it was cheap, threaded and available quick when I needed a host for my new suppressor. I am using supersonic commercially loaded hornady 125gr sst rounds loaded about 2100fps tested with a chrono. Sounds like a 22lr through a silencerco hybrid.
While I have had great success with this round so far, I would definitely say it is a marginal deer round. I only take archery style broadside double lung shots, and do not reliably achieve pass through on larger deer. That is fine for my style of hunting, but if you are planing on hitting the shoulder or neck I would go for something with a little more power. I have very little confidence that you could double lung after passing through the thick part of the shoulder blade. I have also only had 1 out of 10 deer do the hydrostatic shock "dead right there" and it was small fawn. A 308 would be more like 5/10 for the same shot. I have purchased a 458 socom upper, a 45-70 encore barrel, and want to get a 450 bushmaster to play with for next season. However if you are not planning on suppressing I dont think there is an advantage to these thumper rounds. |

I use the 110gr barnes and they do open up well. The problem is they dont' have the knock down power, the bullet didn't exit on a 120lb doe at 75 yards. You wont have a problem mortally wounding a deer, but they don't drop where you shoot them either. |

Just got two boxes of Lehigh 194 gr Maximum Expansion 300 Blk sub bullets today. Can't wait to load some up for next season.

Same with the hornady 125sst, they open up real good and make lung soup but dont have enough energy left to reliably exit. Shooting down into a valley with a suppressor they really dont know what just happened, so they trot 10-20m and fall over. With an unsuppressed shot they could prob do a good 20 second sprint and cover over 100m. Not exactly what I want during rifle season.
