LEHIGH DEFENSE 300 BLK - 194 GR - BTHP - 20 RDS/BOX
Lehigh DefenseThe Lehigh Defense 300 Blackout 194 Grain Maximum Expansion BTHP delivers devastating subsonic performance, engineered with proprietary hydraulic expansion technology to create the largest wound channels available in any factory loaded ammunition on the market today.
- 194-grain boat tail hollow point optimized for subsonic 300 BLK performance
- Maximum Expansion Technology opens via hydraulic energy on fluid-based targets
- Muzzle velocity of 1,050 fps from a 16-inch barrel — reliably subsonic
- Muzzle energy of 475 foot-pounds delivers serious terminal effectiveness downrange
- Brass-cased construction ensures reliable feeding, extraction, and reloadability
- Will not expand on dry mediums like drywall, wood, or sheet metal — reduced over-penetration risk
Who This Is For
This ammunition is purpose-built for suppressed 300 Blackout rifles where subsonic performance is the priority. It's ideal for hunters pursuing deer or hogs who want maximum tissue disruption without the sonic crack, home defenders running a suppressed AR-platform rifle who need controlled expansion and reduced over-penetration, and shooters who demand premium factory loads with consistent, predictable terminal ballistics every time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this ammunition cycle reliably in a suppressed 300 Blackout rifle?
Yes — Lehigh Defense loads this ammunition specifically for reliable function in 300 BLK platforms, including suppressed configurations. At 1,050 fps from a 16-inch barrel, it is reliably subsonic, making it a natural pairing with a suppressor. However, gas port tuning or an adjustable gas block may be beneficial in some builds to ensure reliable cycling with heavy subsonic loads, as individual rifle setups can vary.
How does Lehigh Defense Maximum Expansion Technology actually work?
The Maximum Expansion bullet uses precisely engineered hollow point cavities designed to expand through hydraulic pressure when the projectile contacts a fluid-based medium such as tissue. Upon impact, fluid is forced into the cavity at high velocity, causing the petals to fold back and create an extraordinarily wide wound channel. Critically, the bullet does not expand on intermediate barriers like drywall, plywood, or sheet metal — meaning it retains its profile through common barriers and only expands upon reaching the intended target.
Is this ammunition suitable for hunting, and what game is it appropriate for?
Lehigh Defense Maximum Expansion subsonic 300 BLK loads are well-suited for hunting medium-sized game such as whitetail deer and wild hogs, particularly at close to moderate ranges common in suppressed hunting applications. The wide hydraulic expansion delivers excellent energy transfer and tissue disruption. Always verify that subsonic ammunition meets the minimum energy or velocity requirements set by your state's hunting regulations before heading into the field.
