Midway just got in some Barnes 110's for those interested.

At least it's available. And not unlike most other popular calibers, a significant price increase over the summer. About three months ago, I bought the same .300BLK loading for $26.99, so the above price is a 48% increase.

But there’s a $3 a box rebate, so maybe only a 40% increase. Painful nonetheless.

Typical for me - - - I missed the rebate notice.

While I don't have what I'd consider a plentiful supply of 300BLK (actually, not sure what I consider that to be, compared to, say, a high-volume-shooting round like 9mm), one of the local ranges does manage to keep some range-quality 300BLK. Limits purchases to 2, 20-rd boxes, usually for about $.70/rd +/-, so not too bad. Several local shops are limiting the majority of their ammo sales to those buying a gun.

Somebody greased the damn slope and left a banana peel at the top for me to step on.

I'm building a PDW. Was going to go .223 since I just built my first AR and ramped up to load .223. But then I looked at the reloading data for the .300 and said hot damn.

Luckily I had an Aero lower laying around and managed to pick up a matching Aero upper & BCG, YHM 7.5" quad rail, 7.5" Faxon bbl (from a forum member, no less). The brace & other goodies are en-route.


No I just have to figure out a sight & ammo logistics.

7.5" Faxon bbl

I have a 7.5" PSA upper and bought the twin in 223, and 7.5" is a good reason to have 300BO!

I was just able to order fifteen boxes of Barnes VOR-TX 110-grain, from Cabela’s main site. Good luck, y’all.

Midway USA sent me an in-stock notice For this same load, a few days ago, but I was unable to react soon enough.

I just received an in-stock notice from Midway USA, at 0703 HRS, 07 October, regarding 300 BLK 100-grain Barnes VOR-TX.

Good luck, y’all!

(I reckoned that it might not be polite to post a direct link, as Midway USA purchases do not provide affiliate-link financial benefit to P-F.)

Edited to add: it is good to finally be able to vet enough carry mags with a specific, favored defensive load. I had originally been concentrating on buying 125-grain loads, but their availability, across several brands, severely diminished. Barnes 110-grain VOR-TX has been popping-up, several places, recently, so I have shifted attention to it.

Quick Q: favorite place to buy either the lancers or gen3 .300 pmag? TIA.
