Hunt LR 300 Blackout Ammo Review
As a seasoned hunter and shooter, I was excited to get my hands on the Ammo Inc. Hunt LR 300 Blackout Ammo. This 20-round box of 110gr V-MAX cartridges is specifically designed for hunting, and I was eager to put them through their paces. In this review, I’ll share my experience with this product, highlighting its pros and cons, and provide my overall thoughts on its performance.
Unpacking and Inspection
The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was the sleek, modern design of the packaging. The box is compact and well-structured, with a clear label displaying the product information and technical specs. Inside, the cartridges are arranged neatly in two rows of five, making it easy to load the magazine quickly and efficiently.
Performance in the Field
I took the Ammo Inc. Hunt LR 300 Blackout Ammo out for a spin in a variety of shooting scenarios, from paper targets to live game. Here are my impressions of its performance:
- Accuracy: The ammo performed exceptionally well, with most shots grouping tight and on-target. I experienced a few flyers, but this can be attributed to my shooting skills rather than the ammo itself. With a lucity weight of 110 grains, the V-MAX bullet was surprisingly accurate, even at extended ranges.
- Expansion and Penetration: The V-MAX bullet is designed to expand upon impact, and I was impressed with the results. The expansion was consistent and predictable, with a significant increase in diameter upon penetration. This made for quick and humane kills, even on larger game.
- Noise and Report: shooters who fire nitro-expansion bullets are a mixed bag, with some reporting a distinct "crack" and others suggesting a quieter experience. I found the reports to be moderate, with a slightly louder than average shooting experience.

Here’s a summary of my experience with the Ammo Inc. Hunt LR 300 Blackout Ammo, in bullet form:
