Frequently Asked Questions
Will this ammunition cycle reliably in my AR-15 pistol or short-barreled 300 Blackout rifle?
Yes. The Hornady Custom 135 gr FTX is a supersonic load designed to function reliably in standard 300 Blackout semi-automatic platforms, including AR-15 pistols and rifles with shorter barrels. Because it is a supersonic load (not a subsonic), it is not optimized for suppressed, subsonic use — for that application, look for loads in the 200–220 grain range. Always verify your specific gas system and buffer setup for optimal cycling with any new ammunition.
Is the FTX bullet effective for deer and hog hunting?
Absolutely. The FlexTip (FTX) design initiates rapid, controlled expansion upon impact, even at lower velocities, making it highly effective on medium to large game such as whitetail deer and feral hogs. The 135 grain weight strikes an excellent balance between velocity and retained energy downrange, delivering lethal terminal performance within ethical hunting distances — typically inside 150 yards for the 300 BLK cartridge.
Can I reload the brass cases after firing?
Yes. Hornady Custom ammunition is loaded in premium brass cases using Boxer primers, making them fully reloadable. The high-quality brass is known for excellent dimensional consistency and durability, often allowing multiple reloading cycles when properly sized, trimmed, and inspected. This adds long-term value for handloaders looking to maximize their investment in quality brass.
