Thinking about doing a 300 blackout pistol build for white tail hunting in WI. Just curious to see if any of you used a 300 blackout pistol for deer and would you recommend? I was thinking of a 10 inch barrel suppressed using supersonic ammo. Max distance would be 150 yards

110 ttsx bullets
I use 120 tac tx's in that exact set up. Works great.
What optic do you use?

I second the Barnes 110 tac they work great and open even at subsonic speeds
I wouldn't hesitate to use 125 Hornady SST or 110 MAX. Have to double check the velocity of the 125gr out to 150 yards though. I have a 7.5in pistol along with a 16" model 7 in 300 BLK. I've killed a few with the 16" loaded with 101gr hammer hunters loaded to about 2500fps.

I have killed several does while doing damage control. I will only use 110 TacTx for deer out of my 8.3" barrel. Not only is it the most accurate, but I feel it has the best penetration vs. speed out of pistol barrels. I always get pass throughs on broadside shots and usually less than 30 yds tracking with a really good blood trail. These go 2132fps out of my pistol with a 6" suppressor attached.

Johnny's reloading bench on YouTube has a 300 blk playlist. He has several videos on there testing hunting loads for deer.

are you sure those are barnes? Mine have x's on the base and 4 petals. Those look more like Maker bullets. Still seems like they would be very effective.

Don't look like barnes to me either-- they do resemble the maker 3 pedal design

Correct. 4 pedals would be Barnes. Nice catch. I will update now
