Some rounds are for self-defense. Others are for hunting. Others still are for wasting recyclables with. But this 300 AAC Blackout American Gunner ammo by Hornady? It’s for showing off how accurately you can shoot while turning distant targets into lacey doilies.
This round’s 125 grain bullet is a hollow point, but not in the sense most newer shooters are accustomed to. That’s a Match HP bullet, which Hornady developed to turn a rifle into a surgical instrument. A Match HP has an Advanced Manufacturing Process jacket, totally concentric and balanced to promote superior rotational stability in flight. Its swaged lead core perfects that balance, and its secant ogive profile is optimized to decrease drag and flatten the HP Match’s trajectory. This bullet’s base ends in a taper to decrease drag even more, enabling it to pierce the air extremely efficiently as it absolutely beelines toward a target.
Could a Match HP serve you for self-defense? Without question. 1,313 ft lbs of muzzle energy are 1,313 ft lbs of muzzle energy at the end of the day, and wielding such heightened accuracy will not prove a disadvantage when the chips are down. Just don’t bank on terminal expansion to speed up how quickly your target goes sideways.
Hornady’s supple brass and the tight tolerances their casings are bottlenecked according to ensure snug chambering and unfailing extraction from a semi-auto. The meticulous manufacturer made certain each round in this case of 500 will perform identically with consistent propellant charges and non-corrosive Boxer primers.
