Re: Maximum range for 300 bo
a 110 grain gmax bullet
Range (yards) Velocity (fps) Energy (ft.-lb.) Trajectory (in)
Muzzle 2380 1383 -1.5
50 2244 1229 0.1
100 2112 1090 0
150 1985 962 -2.1
200 1863 848 -6.4
250 1746 744 -13.1
300 1635 653 -22.8
100 yards is well above the magical 1000 ft.-lbs. limit that some insist on.
200 yards is clearly doable, not particularly great.
300 yards... eh... Will a well placed bullet going 1635 fps with 653 ft.-lbs kill a deer, yes. is it a good choice, no

Re: Maximum range for 300 bo
Thanks, so 100-150 is easily doable. I rarely make shots beyond 100 any who and if I need to Ill just have to move to a larger cased caliber. I was just hoping the 300 would take out the need for an AR15 and a 308 bolt rifle and be the multi use rifle. I guess it can do it to some degree.
What about long range precision shooting? Out to 4-600. I wonder if I need to get a 6.5 or 308 to do that. I guess the main reason im asking this is im going to get a Nightforce NXS in 5-22 or 8-32 power and wondering if the 300 can reach out to distances that the scope can handle. I like the low recoil plus it's suppressed (AR 300) and it seems to be a good intermediate range rifle.

Re: Maximum range for 300 bo
An NXS with that magnification is way overkill on a 300 blk in my opinion. That scope will handle ranges outside your own personal shooting ability, regardless of the platform.
But hey, if that's what you want, it's a fantastic optic that won't let you down.

Re: Maximum range for 300 bo
I agree with your statement, I just like lots of magnification. I think that the 300 bo with the nxs is just kind of a start for me to venture back into midrange shooting.tsands974 wrote:An NXS with that magnification is way overkill on a 300 blk in my opinion.

Re: Maximum range for 300 bo
What would the max range be with 220 gr subs?

Re: Maximum range for 300 bo
70 yards
Re: Maximum range for 300 bo
180yd kill with 300BLK. Lasered distance. 125gr Hornady SST. supersonic handload. Expanded and exited, not recovered.
TR-24G 1-4 on my build.
Went 20yds from the spot where she was hit.
Max range in the food plot this was taken from is 194, which I would be comfortable taking.
300yds, I dunno, have to try to recover a pill first. Don't have anyplace that long here. Probably just grab my 243 or 6.5g for that poke.
My Daughters from 2013.
I took one the previous day at 25yds, same rifle/blind/load/result, different plot.
