Hornady utilizes state of the industry loading techniques and peerless quality control protocol in order to make certain that every Frontier round will perform admirably in whichever kind of firearm that can chamber it.

This round’s bullet weighs 125 grains, a weight you’ll certainly find familiar if you’ve worked your way through what its caliber has to offer. Its core is uniform, and its jacket is concentric — that means rewardingly accurate shooting you can enjoy under any circumstances. A first rate primer, propellant, and brass do everything to complement so well-made a bullet’s performance.

History of aac 300 blackout

Although the 5.5645mm NATO round has gained widespread acceptance in the military, some special operations groups frequently need a round that performs better than what is offered by high-energy, standard velocity rounds and has subsonic performance superior to standard 919mm Parabellum (the common pistol and submachine gun round). [3]

In collaboration with Remington Defense, AAC created the.300 AAC Blackout to satisfy this need. The new cartridge was designed to address several of the reported shortcomings of other large-caliber M4 cartridges. Colt Firearms and other gun manufacturers had attempted to chamber various.30 caliber rounds for AR-pattern rifles and carbines in the past, but they ran into difficulties. Even when specially adapted AK-47 magazines were used, the 7.6239mm’s rather sharp case angle created feeding problems, and the results were still subpar. [Reference needed] Due of its increased case head diameter, modified bolts were also required. While having similar parts-interchangeability issues, rounds like the 6.8 SPC and 6.5 Grendel did allow for the use of the regular M4/M16 30-round magazine, albeit with a reduced capacity.
