New 6.8 mm and .300 BLK tests

@DocGKR,

Hornady offers a 110gr Vmax and a 190gr "SUb-X, both load in .300BLK. Any plans to test either?

I ask because I complete my .300BLK pistol, Project: Krush Groove, because who deosnt love the 80's.

I'm not the Doc, but just in case you were unaware, here's a test someone else did that included the 110gr hornady Vmax in bare gel, through autoglass, and through a door panel.

My pedestrian takeaway from the above linked test is that the 110 Vmax looks good if you aren't concerned with barrier performance. Kind of like a 75gr OTM in 5.56.

I too await DocGKR's testing of, and comments on, those two rounds.

Here's my informal test for the 190gr Sub-X:

I just posted this in the other thread but a local company offers an all copper subsonic round that will perform much better and doesn't cost much more than the Hornady:

I've read one example of a slotted monolithic HP round that apparently came apart and destroyed a suppressor. I'd like to see some testing performed with these in some very fast twist barrels, like the 1:5 in SIG's Rattler and sub 16" .300blk MCX barrels.
