Description
The Hornady BLACK .300 Blackout 110 grain V-MAX is built for shooters who want velocity and expansion from their .300 Blackout rifle. This is a supersonic load that prioritizes accuracy and terminal performance, running at 2,375 fps with clean-burning propellants that keep your barrel fouling minimal. The load comes in brass cases with quality primers for reliable feeding across gas piston, direct impingement, and bolt-action platforms.
What Makes the V-MAX Bullet Work in .300 Blackout
The V-MAX bullet is a lightweight polymer-tipped design that does its job fast. The tip drives back on impact and causes rapid expansion, which is exactly what you want when the goal is immediate energy transfer on varmints and small game. The boat-tail design helps with trajectory and accuracy. This bullet generates 1,377 foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle, enough to get the job done on coyotes, hogs, and other medium-sized targets out to reasonable ranges. It will give you tight groups from a good rest and works in both suppressed and unsuppressed setups.
Hornady BLACK Designed for Modern Rifles
These cartridges are part of Hornady's BLACK line, which means they're engineered with modern sporting rifles in mind. The ammunition functions reliably across different barrel lengths and AR configurations. The load maintains supersonic velocity well beyond 300 yards, so you get consistent performance even when conditions stretch your shooting distance. The ballistic coefficient of 0.29 supports a flatter trajectory than heavier projectiles, which helps with accuracy at distance.
You're getting factory consistency here. Every round is loaded to the same specification, so velocity spreads are tight and you can dial in your zero and trust it to stay. For range work, varmint control, or training at distance, this load delivers the speed and accuracy you'd expect from Hornady.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this .300 Blackout round work in both suppressed and unsuppressed rifles?
Yes, the Hornady BLACK 110 grain V-MAX is designed to function reliably in both suppressed and unsuppressed platforms. The supersonic velocity maintains performance regardless of whether you're running a can or not, giving you flexibility across different setups.
What kind of game is this .300 Blackout load suitable for?
This load is purpose-built for varmint hunting and small-to-medium game. The V-MAX bullet's rapid expansion makes it effective on coyotes, hogs, and similar-sized targets. The supersonic velocity and 110-grain weight deliver the velocity needed for consistent terminal performance without requiring the deeper penetration of heavier bullets.
Can I reload the Hornady BLACK .300 Blackout brass?
Yes. The ammunition comes in reloadable Boxer-primed brass cases, so you can reload them if you're into handloading. The non-corrosive primer means you'll have clean, functional brass to work with.
What is the ballistic coefficient, and why does it matter for this .300 Blackout?
The ballistic coefficient is 0.29 (G1), which contributes to flatter trajectories and better downrange velocity retention compared to heavier .300 Blackout projectiles. For a 110-grain varmint load, this supports accurate shooting at extended ranges and helps maintain supersonic velocity beyond 300 yards.
