300 blackout 85gr Spicy Boi
I have tried 3 different Phantom Defense 300 blackout loads. All I can say is WOW. My 8.5” 1 in 7 twist barrel and my 7.5” 1 in 5 twist barrel love Phantom Defense ammo. I consistently had closer groups with all three loads, Spicy Boi, Specter +P and Slow Papi. I compared each load to a similar loads. For example, I compared the Specter +P 120gr to Remington 120gr core lokt and produced tighter groups at all ranges, 25 yards to 200 yards. I compared the subsonic Slow Papi to several different subsonic loads(from 25 yards to 100 yards)and Slow Papi was consistently producing tighter groups. The SPICY BOI was great and beat every single other load I tried, from 110 V-Tac to 150gr core-lok. I’m also extremely impressed with the performance in gel testing I have seen online with all three loads. Phantom Defense will be the only ammo I use in the coming up deer season. Next I will be buying the 220gr Big Brother.

85 grain Spicy Boi 300blk
Did some testing for accuracy so far n shot 5 and 10 shot groups at 50yards and 100 yards. Out of my 9 inch Radian Arms 300blackout w a Silencerco OMEGA and got great results for such a light progectile. At 50 yards I was getting a 1.5 inch group off a bag prone. 100 yards they opened up to 3 inches (10 shot group) In my opinion these are perfect for what they're designed for CQB devastation, but knowing they're still accurate enough at 100 is good to know. Can't wait to try the 110 tac txs you guys load. They fly best next to the AAC Sabre 110s and are sub MOA out of my setup. Will get some chron info and push these out to 300 and see how they do. They gta be moving at least 2400 out of a 9 inch barrel but we shall see. I love the extra care put into the cases. Not sure if they are reloadable but will try that as well. Wish someone would come out with a 110 grain training round round, so my zero wouldn't be so up n down. I'd love to and do shoot and reload allot of Barnes 110 tac txs as they are the most accurate round I've found, but even reloading them the cost gets up there! Wish I could add some photos to this review. It was freezing out and super windy the day I tested these but a 3 to 3.5 inch group at 100 yards is definitely respectable!
