[QUOTE="Buttermilk, post: 1860974, member: 5262"] My family has killed 5 deer using the 300 Blackout. One good buck was shot and never recovered, and not counted in the 5 deer. 4 deer were shot using the Nosler 125 BT. It has been our experience this bullet needs and benefits from more velocity than the little Blackout is capable of pushing it to. (using a 30-06 downloaded for an 11 year old with the Nosler 125 BT at ~2600 fps was much a better killer). The Nosler 125 BT showed some expansion but not as much as I would have preferred. No bullet was ever recovered, with complete pass throughs and exit wounds weren't all that great, though expansion was evident. A switch to the Barnes 110 TAC-TX produced better results on the 5th deer. So far, we've not killed anything more with the Barnes, but the Barnes 110 TAC-TX clearly showed better performance even with one deer being shot. The Nosler 125 BT was my handloads and in one bolt gun was 2250 fps. The other gun is an AR15 at 2200 fps muzzle velocity. The Barnes 110 TAC-TX is going ~2450 fps from the AR15. I like the 300 Blackout round, but it certainly is no real powerhouse. [/QUOTE]
