Barnes 110gr or 120 gr TAC-TX

[sghoghunter]

I have a 300 blackout in a Ruger American and have both the 110 and 120 gr Barnes bullets. It has a 1:7 twist 16 in barrel. Which of the two would be most accurate at no more than 125 yds.

1:7 will handle both just fine, i bet accuracy will be similar, wont know til you try, I only have experience in 110gr out of a 1/8. No complaints.

I think the original loaded Barnes TAC-TX used a 120 grain pill. The guys who bought the ammo swore by it until it ultimately became impossible to get like everything else. I love Barnes just pricey, switched to 125 Nosler green tipped sizzlers under W296. good 100 yard zero that is dead on with my 220 subsonics at 50.

Shoot your rifle and see.

I would think the 120gr will be the most accurate , my .300bo is 1 in 8 twist and it wouldn't group the 110gr worth a flip, not compared to 125gr loads, that being said, the 110's would have been acceptable for hunting accuracy, about a 2-2/12 in group at 100yds, but the 125's were grouping right at an inch at 100yds. but since I'm an accuracy snob I won't use anything lighter than 120-125 gr
