I used this load in a 16” bolt gun to smoke a ground hog at 212 yards (thank you lrf). Can confirm it was an Armageddon situation for that varmint (it blew his face off). I have been very happy with underwood ammunition for 10mm, 300blk, 45-70 and 458 socom. Never had one fail to ignite.

How does this ammo do as an accurate and long range option?

[-]

EquivalentOk1005@reddit

Good enough. Not spectacular, but a good balance of accuracy and performance. Farthest I shot it was 550.

[-]

DUCK_FACE_JONES@reddit

This good for home defense? 👀

These and 110 vmax at 2000-2200fps don't fragment like they are intended to do at 3000+ from a 308.... They mushroom into a nice .5" slug that fucks hard.

Lots of folks use a 110 vmax or varmageddon for deer with the above results.

GuacIsExtra99cents@reddit

Are these g2g out of a suppressor?

[-]

accounts_baleeted@reddit

Should be. They hold up at 308 velocity.

If you have a 1:5 twist you might make sure that the jacket stays intact, but usually those are ultra short barrels with even less velocity.

GuacIsExtra99cents@reddit

I have a 1:7 10.5 . Ive only ever shot 200 and up but ill have to give these a shot and chrono

[-]

accounts_baleeted@reddit

You should be good. I handload the same bullet for my 1:7 9" and get about 2150-2200fps at near max loads. Never had an issue other than suppressed supers in a 300blk are pretty harsh relative to a 556, but its a 30cal, and twice as heavy of a bullet.

Bearloom@reddit

If you're defending against marmots, yes.

I don't know who would be using .300 Blackout for varmint hunting, though.

[-]

accounts_baleeted@reddit

110 varmint bullets from a blackout at ~2100 fps mushrooms into a nice .5" slug.

This stuff will absolutely fuck up a person, or deer.

What about the perfidious deer-people?

[-]

TheImpalerKing@reddit

Hornady's Holy X-Terminator line actually has a silver penetrator, but unless you can get those on sale they're insanely overpriced. Dipping the bullets in holy water gets pretty equivalent results as long as you keep the powder clean, for a fraction of the cost.

[-]

wadech@reddit

Noted.

AscendantJustice@reddit

From my research, one of the most recommended rounds for deer hunting with 300 blk is Barnes 110 gr VOR-TX so as long as this performs similarly, it'll probably be pretty decent for home defense.

[-]

Deeper__Thought@reddit

Barnes is a monolithic, solid copper projectile meant to expand and retain mass

This is a traditional copper jacketed polymer tip. These things will usually shed their jacket on impact and splinter out. Its a super thin jacket though, so not hugely damaging to larger targets.

Yes you can use vmax or varmageddon or whatever on two legged game, but its not nearly the legendary performance of the solid copper barnes- controlled reliable expansion and focused energy delivery

AscendantJustice@reddit

Yeah I looked into the details of the Nosler bullet a little more after I sent that and learned that it had a lead core. I guess my point was more about the grain weight and speed and not focusing on the "varmageddon" name. Thanks for the detailed explanation though. I'm glad I didn't buy any for deer season.

Those poor squirrels.

[-]

Yoboy923theflame@reddit

I guess this is rebranded nosler varmageddon. It’s gtg for home defense.

[-]

RavenRocksPrecision@reddit

It’s not rebranded. Underwood is a highly regarded loader and they’re just using a Nosler bullet in this load. They’re known for producing some great speciality ammo.

[-]

Yoboy923theflame@reddit

Gotcha thanks for letting me know

[-]

Yoboy923theflame@reddit

I wouldn’t

[-]

awesome_jackob123@reddit

I’m not familiar with these specific rounds but something tells me they would be.

223 Remington 50 & 55gr Nosler Ballistic Tip also the same price.

[-]

chuckisduck@reddit

with that 20% off, today I spent $450 on some 300 and 223, thanks!😅

[-]

mm1046256@reddit (OP)

I'm jealous, the code won't work for my account but it works for others 😔

[-]

SlateBlueSporting@reddit

Snagged some 55 gr .223 also.

The Underwood blemished 124 grain for $10/box is a helluva deal, too, but I’m good on JHPs at the moment.
