From what information I could find the Barnes 300 AAC Blackout 120 Grain, Jacketed Hollow Point ammo is supersonic and the ballistic information for the ammo is from testing with a 16" barrel. So in terms of stability with a 7.5-10.5" barrel and suppressor compatibility I recommend contacting Barnes Bullets for that information.

This Barnes 300 AAC Blackout, 120 Grain, Jacketed Hollow Point/JHP ammo could be used for Hog Hunting. If you want a heavier bullet the ammo at the link below would be another good option.
