This video tests 110-grain subsonic .223 ammunition, evaluating its terminal performance and reliability. The test reveals that while the ammunition is subsonic from a 16-inch barrel, it did not reliably cycle the action of the AR-15, requiring manual cycling. Terminal ballistics showed significant yawing and a total penetration of 19.5 inches in ballistic gelatin, with initial disruption around 3 inches. The presenter suggests limited practical application for typical users, comparing its niche utility to subsonic 300 Blackout.
This video presents a gel test of Gorilla Ammunition's 110gr Controlled Chaos load in .300 AAC Blackout, manufactured by Lehigh Defense. The instructor notes the bullet's design aims for fragmentation, creating significant disruption. While penetration was deeper than some standards, the instructor argues it's preferable to insufficient penetration for vital organ reach. The test indicates the load is adequate for defensive use, though other .300 AAC loads may offer superior performance.
This comprehensive guide details the development of a supersonic .300 Blackout hunting load using the 110gr Barnes TAC-TX bullet. Expert instructor Johnny from Johnny's Reloading Bench methodically tests loads with Hodgdon Lil' Gun and Winchester 296 powders, analyzing chronograph data and group sizes. The Winchester 296 powder proved superior, yielding exceptional consistency and velocity, making it the recommended choice for .300 Blackout hunting.
