Lehigh Defense 300 Blackout for Hunting

Published on July 14, 2015
Duration: 17:38

This video tests Lehigh Defense's 300 Blackout ammunition for hunting, specifically focusing on subsonic loads. The 170gr Controlled Fracturing and 194gr Maximum Expansion rounds were tested in ballistic gel and a simulated hog anatomy ('Porkzilla'). The 194gr round demonstrated superior expansion and penetration, making it the recommended choice for hunting applications.

Quick Summary

The 194gr Lehigh Defense Maximum Expansion subsonic 300 Blackout load is recommended for hunting. Tests in ballistic gel and a 'Porkzilla' simulation showed it provides excellent penetration and reliable, significant expansion, making it ideal for harvesting game.

Frequently Asked Questions

What 300 Blackout ammunition is recommended for hunting based on the test?

The 194gr Lehigh Defense Maximum Expansion subsonic load is recommended for hunting. It demonstrated excellent penetration and reliable expansion in ballistic gel and simulated hog anatomy tests.

How does Lehigh Defense's 170gr Controlled Fracturing 300 Blackout ammo perform?

The 170gr Controlled Fracturing subsonic round fragments early upon impact in ballistic gel. While the base penetrates well, the fragmentation pattern is designed for specific terminal effects.

What is the 'Porkzilla' test simulation?

The 'Porkzilla' test uses ballistic gel with pork ribs attached to simulate the anatomy of a hog. This test evaluates how well ammunition penetrates bone and maintains its terminal performance.

Are subsonic 300 Blackout rounds effective for hunting?

Yes, subsonic 300 Blackout rounds, particularly specialized hunting loads like Lehigh Defense's 194gr Maximum Expansion, can be effective for hunting due to controlled expansion and reduced noise.
