300 blackout pistol vs largish boar - Page 2

Yes sharkbite that explains it well. Because when I shoot it at close range, around 15 yards or less the bullet hits low, and then evens back out at 19 yards.

A 110 grain 30 caliber bullet leaving the muzzle at 2250 is not marginal for anything in NA. I'm not a 300 blackout fan but, if I were I'd load up a 125 grain bullet and call it done. You'll kill everything you hit well. You won't no matter the ballistics if you don't. A 300 RUM won't make up for poor shooting. And won't kill quicker with a good hit. What else needs to be discussed here other than key board semantics? God Bless

Before it gets pointed out, this assuming anything you'll find in Texas and within the range in which you can reasonably expect to kill it.

Nice job tipsy! Did you get any pictures? I've been building a 300 blk upper, so I'm glad to hear of your success.

Tipsy, if you can make the caliber and loading work for you and your hunting, that is what matters. Based on the guys I know that have hunted hogs with it, it is best used as a head/neck/cns sort of round, which is just what you did. Job done. Good deal!

Thanks guys, and I do have some pics, but have never had luck posting them here or links to photobucket. I can't wait to see if this bullet will exit on a shoulder shot. I'll post pics on future hogs.
