Description
This 220-grain open tip flat base round is purpose-built for the .300 Blackout platform and hits well below the sound barrier at 940 fps. The heavy bullet and subsonic velocity make it the go-to choice for anyone running a suppressor, eliminating the supersonic crack that even a suppressor can't fully muffle. When fired suppressed, these rounds live up to the quiet reputation the caliber earned in its original military design.
Remington UMC Quality You Can Count On
UMC ammunition has been around for decades and sits at the sweet spot between reliability and value. These cartridges come in reloadable brass cases with non-corrosive primers, so if you reload, you've got cases worth saving. The ammunition is loaded right here in the USA and features clean-burning powders that'll keep your bolt carrier cleaner than dirtier surplus stuff. You're not paying premium match-grade prices, but you're getting solid factory ammunition that groups consistently at the ranges where subsonic .300 Blackout typically performs.
Designed for AR-15 Reliability
The open tip flat base bullet design works with standard AR-15 magazines and bolts, no modifications needed. The round's powder charge was specifically tuned to cycle reliably in AR-15s while keeping velocity subsonic, so you get the reliability people expect from the platform without having to fiddle with gas blocks or springs. A cannelure on the bullet ensures loaded length consistency and keeps the crimp holding firm, eliminating bullet setback issues that can plague reloaded subsonic ammo. This attention to detail shows Remington understands what people actually use this ammunition for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I choose 220-grain .300 Blackout over lighter loads?
The 220-grain weight is specifically optimized for subsonic performance. It travels below the sound barrier, which means suppressed fire stays quiet without the supersonic crack that even the best suppressor can't fully eliminate. If you're running a suppressor on a short-barreled AR, this weight is the standard choice for stealth.
Will this Remington UMC ammo cycle reliably in my AR-15?
Yes. Remington tuned the powder charge to reliably cycle in standard AR-15s while keeping the round subsonic. The ammunition feeds from standard 5.56/.223 AR-15 magazines without modification. That said, some suppressed systems are pickier than others, so if you run a very tight gas setup, test a small batch to verify function.
Can I reload the brass cases?
Absolutely. These come in reloadable brass with Boxer primers, so they're worth saving after firing. You'll find die sets and resources specifically for .300 Blackout reloading from major manufacturers. Many handloaders appreciate getting quality brass at factory ammunition prices.
Is this ammunition suitable for hunting?
The 220-grain subsonic load is better suited for suppressed target work and training than hunting. If you're looking for hunting-grade .300 Blackout, lighter supersonic loads (110-130 grains) deliver better expansion and range. Subsonic match bullets at these velocities won't expand reliably on game animals.
