Lehigh Defense Maximum Expansion .300 AAC Blackout ammunition (brand part no. LA300BLK-194-ME) loads a heavy 194-grain tipped boat tail hollow point bullet, a design built to do exactly what its line name promises: open as wide and as reliably as possible on impact. The polymer tip drives into the hollow cavity on contact, forcing the jacket to peel open into a wide, aggressive mushroom rather than a modest, controlled expansion, trading some penetration depth for maximum wound-channel diameter near the surface. That heavy-for-caliber weight also helps the round retain usable energy at .300 Blackout’s typically shorter engagement ranges. For .300 Blackout shooters who want the widest possible expansion on impact, this rifle ammunition from Lehigh Defense is built for exactly that.
