300 blackout pistol vs largish boar

Some of the grisliest wounds I've seen have been from 223 fmj pass throughs on hogs

When I first started hunting hogs, I believed all the hype about large calibers needed for hogs... Being that I had a .223 rifle, I used fmj trying to get the penetration that I thought was needed.... The results were quite shocking, lots of blood and nasty exits

After that I used expanding ammo for hogs...
 
The trajectory dope I use for my 300 blk in my m&p 15, which has a factory 16" barrel. I sight it in at 19 yards dead on and it will shoot out to between 190 and 200 yards before the bullet drops any. That is with a 110 gr bullet. I use a 4x12 Bushnell dusk and dawn banner scope.
 
Yeah it climbs to about three inches at 100 yards or so. I had just stated that it did not drop until 200 yards, which is true.
 
Your bullet is climbing and then dropping.

Bullets dont "climb". It is dropping from the instant it leaves the barrel. It goes "up" only because the bore is pointed up to intersect the line of sight thru the optics or irons. But its falling the whole time. Cant beat physics...
 
Yes sharkbite that explains it well. Because when I shoot it at close range, around 15 yards or less the bullet hits low, and then evens back out at 19 yards.
 
A 110 grain 30 caliber bullet leaving the muzzle at 2250 is not marginal for anything in NA. I'm not a 300 blackout fan but, if I were I'd load up a 125 grain bullet and call it done. You'll kill everything you hit well. You won't no matter the ballistics if you don't. A 300 RUM won't make up for poor shooting. And won't kill quicker with a good hit. What else needs to be discussed here other than key board semantics? God Bless

Before it gets pointed out, this assuming anything you'll find in Texas and within the range in which you can reasonably expect to kill it. :) God Bless
 
Tipsy, if you can make the caliber and loading work for you and your hunting, that is what matters. Based on the guys I know that have hunted hogs with it, it is best used as a head/neck/cns sort of round, which is just what you did. Job done. Good deal!
 
Thanks guys, and I do have some pics, but have never had luck posting them here or links to photobucket. I can't wait to see if this bullet will exit on a shoulder shot. I'll post pics on future hogs.
