Federal .300 AAC Blackout American Eagle Suppressor Ammo FAQ:
The 220gr bullet is on the heavier end of the spectrum for .300 AAC Blackout ammunition. This weight is typically used for subsonic loads to maintain energy and effectiveness at lower velocities.
The effective range can vary depending on the firearm and shooter, but typically, this subsonic ammunition is most effective within 200 yards. Beyond this range, bullet drop and wind drift become more significant factors.
This ammunition should function in most .300 AAC Blackout firearms, but it's always recommended to check your firearm's manual or consult with the manufacturer. Some firearms may require adjustments to cycle reliably with subsonic ammunition.
The trajectory of this subsonic round will have a more pronounced arc compared to supersonic loads. It will drop more quickly at longer ranges, requiring more holdover or scope adjustment for accurate shooting at distance.
Yes, the brass cases from this ammunition can be reloaded. However, as with all reloading, proper procedures and safety precautions must be followed, and load data specific to subsonic .300 AAC Blackout should be used.
For optimal accuracy with this heavy 220gr bullet, a faster twist rate is recommended. A 1:7 or 1:8 twist rate is typically ideal for stabilizing these heavy subsonic bullets in the .300 AAC Blackout.
The Open Tip Match design contributes to excellent accuracy by providing a consistent bullet profile and weight distribution. This design is favored by many precision shooters for its ability to provide tight groups at various ranges.
While a specific break-in procedure isn't necessary for the ammunition itself, following the firearm manufacturer's recommended break-in process is advisable. This typically involves cleaning between groups of shots for the first 20-50 rounds.
Due to its subsonic velocity, this ammunition typically produces less muzzle flash than supersonic loads. This can be beneficial in low-light shooting situations, even when used without a suppressor.
