I've loaded Hornady and Nosler 125 grain. The only thing that I have shot at this point was a paper target through the chronograph. The Barnes black tips are almost more elusive than big foot. I was lucky enough to find a few boxes on the back of a shelf at a gun store a while back. Felt like I won the lottery.
I have looked for the black tip since Sandy Hook...I haven't seen any at all in component form. I have seen it multiple times in completed cartridges. I suspect that's where the little they are making is going.
nosler makes a 110 grain black tip that is currently available at midwayusa. i just ordered some. after i make some loads and test it i will post the results.
fyi, i was planning on using the nosler black tip for target practice. i am also looking for the barnes black tip for hunting hogs.
Why shoot 110gr over 125gr? The speer tnt bullets sounds to.do.a good job on deer and hog. I cant wait tell Wednesday my rcbs ar 300 blk dies come it. Gonna be like a kid on Christmas day bahahaha
I load and shoot 30 and 357 herrett, and developing 30 herrett loads has helped me quite a bit with bullet selection for the 300AAC. I load 110 and 125 grain bullets in the 30 Herrett almost exclusively. My preference for it is the 110 grain soft point round nose developed for the M1 Carbine loads. It does marvelous things to varmints out of a 14" barrel. I have loaded some in the Blackout, but haven't had a chance to take them and the chrony out to the range yet. Shooting these out of the Encore, probably won't feed well out of the AR
I've used the 125 TNT and had no problems. I found a sale on them a year ago picked up a couple of thousand of them.
