    Best VARMINT/COYOTE bullet for .300 BLACKOUT?

    i ran through a couple boxes of 110gr Z-max for .300 Blackout.. my rifle really liked them. I can find some online but i dont like buying factory ammo. What bullet would you recommend for varmint/coyote in the 110gr blackout range? Thanks

    No experience with either, but the 110gr Hornady V-Max is another viable option.

    110gr Varmageddon are super accurate, and explosive in 300blk.
    110gr V-Max and Z-Max are the same bullet, and they work good for some people.

    +1 on the 110gr varmageddon

    I have been using the Barnes Vortex Black tip factory loaded, but will eventually switch to my Varmageddon hand loads.
    The Barnes Vortex are brutal when they hit a target. Massive damage. Great for killing coyotes, not for subsistence hunting.

    What powder are you using for the 110gr varmageddon? I'm using H110 and Nosler data, But 17 grains seems low as a start. Would you share some load info just to get me close?

    Unfortunately all my reloading stuff is still in totes from my move. I have recently moved to 40 acres and built everything on raw land. Im currently in the middle of building a second cabin for my wife as an art studio and won’t get my reloading stuff out till this winter sometime. It’s actually the reason I am currently using factory loaded Barnes black tips to kill coyotes instead of my own hand loaded rounds.

    i do know that I was using h110, I just don’t know how much.

    That sounds a little low to me, but I think it is close.
    Best to work up for your rifle.
    If memory serves me right I want to say we were doing 17.5gr
