SIG SAUER 300 Blackout Ammo & Ammunition

300 AAC Blackout Ammo is a relatively new centerfire rifle caliber, developed in 2009 and approved by SAAMI in 2011. It's designed to fill the niche in between 5.56x45mm NATO rounds and the 9mm for use in carbines. It is available in subsonic and supersonic loads, allowing for tactical versatility when combined with suppressors. Best of all, it only requires a simple barrel change for conversion from a 5.56 NATO on an AR platform.

Does SIG make a 300 Blackout?

Yes, in addition to their line of 300 Blackout Ammo, SIG SAUER makes several models of firearms chambered for 300 BLK. These include the SIG MCX VIRTUS Pistol, SIG MCX Rattler SBR, SIG MCX VIRTUS SBR, SIG MCX RATTLER CANEBRAKE, and SIG MCX Rattler PCB. Of course, there are many other manufacturers that make rifles, pistols, and SBRs chambered in 300 AAC Blackout, most of them are on an AR platform, but you can find them in different styles including bolt-actions.

What ammo do I need for 300 Blackout?

Even though a firearm may chamber different calibers, and 300 AAC Blackout Rifle Ammunition may chamber into other firearms, 300 BLK should only be fired through firearms with the caliber designation stamped onto the barrel. There is no interchangeable caliber like .223 Remington through a 5.56 NATO or 7.62 NATO through a 308 Winchester.

As always, do not fire any ammunition in any firearm before fully checking and understanding the firearm manufacturer's specifications.

What is the weight of the SIG Sauer 300 Blackout round?

Like many other calibers, SIG SAUER Rifle Ammo for the 300 AAC Blackout comes in a variety of bullet weights and bullet types depending on your intended application.
