Man the effort, time, attention to detail, and production value of this testing has not gone unnoticed sir!!! I’ve ordered 360 rounds of the Maker Rex 200gr ammo for home defense and hunting out of a 10.5” Rosco 1/7 barrel...I’m supremely confident they’ll expand reliably in any soft target 100 yards or less without fail!!! Excellent video sir
You know what, you just introduced me to a whole new product, and convinced me that the .300 subs *are* really viable/ethical for deer and hogs. Time to order some. 😊
@@jpoeng didn’t realize you were being sarcastic. I know a guy who uses 210 grain ballistic tip subs with a can on hogs on his property because the neighbors complained about him eliminating the nuisance ripping up his orchards. He slays em.
@@Natedoc808 Oh, I did say hogs, too, above, didn’t I? Yeah, I meant it then, but that was 4 years ago, and thinking more about how much less energy they have than the supers, and the pretty poor terminal performance most subs seem to be showing, I’d stick with deer for the subs I think.
😂😂😂When the table fell down...love it. Been watching your 300blk videos for years. Love your channel. You are my go-to for 300blk reload tweaks and advice. 300blk is so versatile that every time I have a question about changing a powder or changing a bullet, you've tested and answered the question. Your stepwise methods of conducting the science are excellent 👍
Wow. Those are some vicious looking little blossoms. Glad I'm not ballistic gel. You make great reloading vids, Johnny. I'm learning a lot, and incorporating much into my own hobby. Thank you.
Good demonstration, I liked how the table fell down. (Good comic relief) Anyway It was good to see what those Bullets do @ range out to 100 yards. Not many people on the internet do that with gel tests. It would be interesting to see what the Hennery rifle does with cast bullets shot into gel, Something you might want to so in the future. also more on that subject, One bullet that shoots extremely well at range is the Lyman #358311, It's not the most Intimating looking however it is accurate. Good video dude. I like your commentary. Dave
Lots of good info here thank you!! 8:12 was epic. Thanks for leaving that in there. I have decided ok a 300blk build, and I'm trying to figure out what the round CAN do, and what I want to do with it. I am building the gun around a yankee sidewinder silencer
I know this is an older video but I appreciate how you do you’re gel testing AT DISTANCE! What a projectile does at 100 yards over point blank, is what I’M interested in!
love shooting the 55gr maker bullets expanding subsonic for ground squirrels at 4grains of trail boss pretty quite unsuppressed and then 9grains of trial boss with that same round to get more velocity out of it and more of a popping method that way on them hahs and it sounds like a hot 22lr unsuppressed
I ordered some Makers 110gr. for loading into .30 Carbine. WOW. Expansion is amazing out on the little M1 Carbine as well my Ruger Blackhawk in .30 carbine. Definitely 👍👍
We took several deer this past season with the 194gr lehigh loaded subsonic. It killed deer as well as the supersonic blackout loads, all exited except one at a quartering angle, and it was right under the skin. I saved it, it had petals bent back on one side only, so i think it may have tumbled. Anyways, deer went 30 yards and fell dead
I like that you shot the 200gr Maker Rex ammo out of the 10.5” 300 Blackout Pistol/SBR and not just the 16” rifle, and letting that be the “speak-all”for the 300 blackout AR style platform. I like the way Maker Rex bullets expanded. What would have been the difference in penetration if you have used the FBI Gel instead? Liked the video, will be searching through your content for more. Thank you.
Your gel seems not quite thick enough. If you can pull those bullets out that easy with a pair of pliers. You need a patreon account to help pay for some of this crape.
That's definitely possible. This was my first time using it so I don't know how firm it's supposed to feel. If I do any of this again I will be buying a kit from Clear Ballistics or somewhere like that. I'm still paying the mortgage on time, so I'm not ready to start begging yet!
My friends and I are going subsonic due to the density of hunters, and looking to avoid spooking everyone else's shots. From what you see and read, people seem to act as if they are the only ones in the woods.
Really like your 300 BLK reloading videos ... thanks for all the effort! I have got to get me some of both pills. Kinda wish you had thrown some buckskin or denim up in front of that gel to see if it would clog the HPs.
I left this comment on episode 13 it should have been on this one take a look at to lehigh defense bullets these will be supersonic loads. (1) 115 grain Controlled Chaos copper ( I got some for about $40.00 and that is 100 not 50 next I believe it is an 87 grain 30 caliber design for the 30 carbine it looks like one of there pistol bullets and does not expand I believe it's called a cavitator I would be curious to know if one they function in the AR-15 and number two what kind of velocity can you get out of them and accuracy
Would either of these bullets work supersonic in my 300 win mag?? I have a box from a friend who sold his 300 aac. I'm saving up for a 300 aac, but what do you think about these in 300 win mag?
I am really grumbling that you shot the Lehigh Max Exp out of the Carbine rather than the 8.5" ... why, why, why. I am grumbling so hard right now. Here I was, sitting here waiting for the 8.5 with the Lehighs and 296 ... and you changed the game. Arrrrgggggh! So I am sitting here with a couple of hundred Lehigh 194 Max Expansion and all the 296 I'll need and ... bang, misdirection. Wait ... there we go? That's more like it? Did you just switch back to the 8.5 with the Lehighs? I am so confused. ETA: FWIW I spoke with Justin at Lehigh and he said those Max Expansions are made to be sent at around 980 fps. Absolutely no more than 1020 fps but even that is really too fast.
What do you mean by max range? Good setups can get 500 yards, with 50% more energy than 5.56/.223. 10.5" is optimal length for 300BO. Keep a 1:7 twist rate for subs and you should do well.
@@bryanst.martin7134 you're not going to 500 with subs unless you like dropping bullets onto target like a mortar, and it'd still be a bit of a task with supers even out of a 16 inch barrel. It has been done and is possible, but I wouldn't hunt anything past 100, maybe 150 yards with either subs or supers. Even within 150 yards the subs drop is unforgiving for hunting
Outstanding expansion, however you need three bad guys lined up in a row to stop the bullet, DEVASTATING CHANNEL HOLY CRAP 😲 . If you're hunting with these you better plan on making hamburgers with what's left of the meat 😂 you wouldn't be making any stakes
so with that deformed bullet could that mean if it hits a bone before fully expanding it could be turned into a "fmj" so bullet placement in hunting could be a diffrence of a good kill n a bad wound...
The way the plastic filled up the hollow point was interesting. I don't think bone would do exactly the same since it should shatter more, but I absolutely have concerns. I wouldn't try to put either these bullets through a shoulder. I'll be looking for shot placement just like I'm bow hunting. Behind the shoulder, double lung or heart shots. When IV8888 and MAC did their Lehigh commercials they put some of the 194's through bone and still got expansion. The pedals deformed a bit but it still did the job. th-cam.com/video/JDym4GXrPRw/w-d-xo.htmlm15s

Awesome video, I like how the Maker bullets expanded and stayed in one piece. Your channel has the best 300 blackout handloading information.
Thanks! I was really impressed with the uniform expansion. They seemed to hit really hard out there at 100. I wasn't sure what to expect.
Yep. Top reloading yt page for 300aac and 300 win mag
You know what, you just introduced me to a whole new product, and convinced me that the .300 subs *are* really viable/ethical for deer and hogs. Time to order some. 😊
How’s the 300 subs work for you on deer n hogs? I shoot hogs with an 18” 300blk loaded with 147gr ballistic tip supers, and it’s a pig hammer.
I imagine that these wouldn't open well if they picked up some bone, just saying.
@@Natedoc808 I wouldn’t use a sub on hogs, no way 😆

Best 300 blk channel on TH-cam. I picked up lots of new info. Thanks
Your videos are the best. Only guy I can actually watch the whole video with out skipping.

They look like the Maker's would be a good home defense round. Great funny video. Thanks. I know what I'm going to use. Happy shooting.
The fact that the one bullet that scooped up plastic didn't open up at all has me wondering if these would act the same if they struck bone.
I’d love to see you test the Lehigh Close Quarters bullets, especially in .300 Blackout.
Wow. Those are some vicious looking little blossoms. Glad I'm not ballistic gel. You make great reloading vids, Johnny. I'm learning a lot, and incorporating much into my own hobby. Thank you.

great vid ... you can see the bullet slow it down to .25 started at 6:30 . the bullet fly pass the camera is beautiful trust me!
interesting results...thanks for sharing, all your hard work and the good information.

Thanks for rigging the table to fall down while shooting. ;-) Still enjoying, even your older, videos.
I like the gel testing, I know iit's a pain but it is cool to see if a good shooting bullet is also good expanding round as well.
My friends and I are going subsonic due to the density of hunters, and looking to avoid spooking everyone else's shots. From what you see and read, people seem to act as if they are the only ones in the woods.
the exact reason i went with makerbullets instead if the LHD... plus the price difference
Really like your 300 BLK reloading videos ... thanks for all the effort! I have got to get me some of both pills. Kinda wish you had thrown some buckskin or denim up in front of that gel to see if it would clog the HPs.
Another great video.. Thanks again
Are subsonics typically that loud? I guess I expected the report to be substantially quieter with subsonic loads and a suppressor...
Good results. Sometimes I wonder if just buying a whole pig would be easier to get results than with the gelatin. It does seem to be a pain.
Maybe I'll raise a pen full of deer. Start a deer urine company and use them for ballistics testing.
+Johnny's Reloading Bench Venison is brain food, very stimulating.
Man these are like 12 ga slugs from a 300 Black, I am getting these !
Awesome. Love the end.
I was just looking back at the subsonic stuff and got to see the clip with the fog burning off. Kinda missed it.
Any chance that you test the 220 grain 300 blackout maker rex ?
Late to the party but thanks for all the great vids!
Were all these shots at 100yards?
If that bullet that stopped expanding had hit bone would you get the same failure to expand
I had real good luck with little gun 8.9 grains, 2.2 oal.
I left this comment on episode 13 it should have been on this one

Scott Rice Mail him a few :D
7:08 Is that what the hell’s goin’ on here?... I’m afraid it might be. Hmmm
Lmao!!
18:10 - LOL! Devastating anti-barrier performance.. . 👍
Can you load a Lehigh Defense194gr Maximum Expansion for a 16 inch .308 rifle 7.62x51?
yeah, I don't see why not.
It's a .30 caliber round, so you could load it into any 30 caliber bullet 30-06, 300 win mag.
I was wondering if you think maker bullets in 110 or 125 gr for the 300 blackout be good for deer??
What are your thoughts about Howell brass and how resilient they are for reloading?
Can I get the recipe for you ballistic gel?
Excellent video mate 👍👍👍
It doesnt sound like you kept those loads subsonic...
You ever use outlaw state bullets? I could send you some to try
Maybe I missed it. But what was your distance away from the target?
100 yards
Would either of these bullets work supersonic in my 300 win mag?? I have a box from a friend who sold his 300 aac. I'm saving up for a 300 aac, but what do you think about these in 300 win mag?
These bullets are designed for lower velocity
Crape meaning clear ballistics gel
What approx muzzle velocity were you testing ?
1050 fps - These were subsonics
Nice ending where do you live?
You didn't compare the wound cavities

So LH-194g ME for my 10.5 PSA CHF with a max range of 88 meters this upcoming deer pistol season?
