![]() ![]() If anything, it’s the heavier bullets that are more likely to keep going. There’s much said, unsubstantiated, about “over-penetration” of higher-velocity bullets. I agree, but not for some reasons commonly given. Just a bit about the whole “defensive ‘rifle’ debate:” some say something like 5.56 is not a good choice for home defense. (Clearly, supersonic Blackout beats it soundly.) 45 ACP is a reliable choice for a defensive round, subsonic Blackout beats it. 45 ACP handgun loading, if we’re going on (the admittedly incomplete) calculated energy figures. 300 Blackout subsonic loads are a little more powerful than a routine. Most subsonic blackout ammo uses a bullet in the 200-grain range, and, of course. That’s another debate for others to work through in other articles, but it’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Plus, I’m a believer in “bigger is better” respecting impact effectiveness of a bullet. 300 Blackout is plenty powerful, in my estimation, and with radically better “shootability” than a higher-pressure carbine loading. Subsonic Blackout has a radically milder blast and report than 5.56 or supersonic Blackout. Now, there are some very effective flash suppressors out there, but they don’t take a bit off the noise. In the dark, maybe just up out of bed, and then there’s a blinding fireball and an ear-splitting report, and it’s difficult to recover situational awareness, especially at my age, and even with my rail-mounted light.
