I have killed over a dozen hogs this deer season with my little Rem 700 AAC 300 Blackout. Been using 240 SMK's with head shots out to 100 yards. It drops em like a bad habit. Recently I took a few does out with it using 225gr Hornady HPBT's at 1030fps. You'll notice that I have went back with the cheesy Hogue on the rifle but hey it works fine and is a lot lighter than in the AICS chassis. Folks damn them but if the end of the forearm isn't rested on directly it shoots fine.
Here's a test group shot at 30,40,50,60 and 70 yards, it's under an inch which will work just fine for it's purpose. Load was using 11.3grs or AA1680 in the 1:7 twisted factory bbl.
Both of these shots offered little resistance for the bullet as I could hear it whizz after the shot. Something for me to remember in the future as far as what's behind the deer. The first doe taken you can actually see the bullet kick up dust a few yards behind her.
All in all, this little rifle has impressed me and will continue to quietly take out hogs during the off-season 220-240grs at a time.
