A few years ago .300 Blackout was fairly scarce at some big box stores. Now most have a decent supply of different brands. Cabelas, Gander, and Fleet Farm always carried Remington brand since I’ve started shooting .300 BO. They used to carry the subsonic stuff all the time at a time when they normally only carried Remington and one or two others.
Now most of these stores carry many .300 BO ammo options including the Remington ammo but only in supersonic now. I can never find the Remington stuff in subsonic for the last few years. I can find subsonic .300 BO from other manufacturers. I’ve talked to the gun clerks and they say they just aren’t ordering then Remington .300 BO in subsonic, only supersonic and they aren’t planning on it either.
Why is this when subsonic shooting is what the .300 BO was specifically made for?
The Remington subsonic .300 BO I found to be some of the most accurate out of my gun and also cheapest at $17 a box.
Why do big box store carry Remington .300 Blackout ammo in supersonic but not Subsonic?
*** I also wish they would mark the ammo as (subsonic) rather than you reading then bullet weight and and velocity and hoping it’s subsonic. As you can see in the below pics the description notates subsonic on the older yellow box but not the newer white boxes.
This is the ammo I’m talking about. Normally in the white box now.
