I would say Wilson Combat is getting serious.


For Immediate Release

Wilson Combat is excited to announce that the 300 HAM’R cartridge, originally developed in 2018, has been accepted by SAAMI as a standardized cartridge.

The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Institute, Inc. (SAAMI), is the organization at the forefront of promoting firearm safety by creating standards that ensure safety, reliability and interchangeability of firearms, ammunition and components.

The .30 caliber cartridge is designed to optimize performance of 95gr-150gr bullets and to function in the AR15 platform. Muzzle velocities range from 2280fps to 2770fps out of a 16” barrel depending on bullet weight. The cartridge operates at a maximum average pressure of 57,500psi.

Designed for self defense, law enforcement and hunting applications, the terminal performance of the cartridge is comparable to the legendary .30-30 Winchester. However, the 300 HAM’R has a substantially flatter trajectory due to the higher ballistic coefficient of the bullets used.

In addition, Wilson Combat would like to publicly thank Starline Brass of Sedalia, MO, Western Powders of Miles City, MT and Sig Sauer Ammunition of Jacksonville, AR for their assistance during development and an extra thanks to Sig Sauer Ammunition for submitting the cartridge to SAAMI.

About Wilson Combat:

Wilson Combat has been in business since 1977 and is an industry leading manufacturer of high quality firearms for self protection, law enforcement, military and recreational use. Headquartered in Berryville, Arkansas Wilson Combat manufactures cutting edge handguns, rifles, shotguns, firearm accessories and ammunition. Visit WILSONCOMBAT.COM for more information.

@bwilson,

Mid South has these for a great price.

Suitable for 300 HAM'R plinkers?

Anyone else waiting for the first round of pissing and moaning from Blackout lovers proclaiming it's really no better than their pet, ala 6.5 you-know-what?

Midsouth has a line in their description that says, "Can be loaded up to 1950FPS". Wilson's loading data has 150s going over 2200fps.

If these are the Berry plated I didn't have great luck with them when I tested. The best bang for buck for a range ammo bullet that I know of is the Speer 130gr HP, it's the least expensive .30 cal bullet Speer makes, shoots very good in the 2400-2450fps range and most of the local guys around here kill a lot of hogs with them.

I finally took the new .300 Ham'r out yesterday. What a hoot!

I started at 50yds, for sight-in purposes. The first five shots made one ragged hole. I shot 110gr Hornady SPs, 125 Speer TNTs, 130gr Speer HCFN, and 130gr Speer HPs. All four bullets made nice, tight groups with CFE-BLK powder. All loads cycled without a hitch with a 10-rnd Lancer .300 Blackout magazine.

The wind was cranking pretty good, and it knocked the target stand over a couple of times, so I didn't stretch the distance past 50 yards. I'll stretch it out further, next time, and I'll break out the chronograph for some velocity numbers, too. Can't wait! This thing is stupid-fun to shoot!

There is no use in fighting. The hook has been set and they are already starting to reel you in. smile

I know how you're feeling, they are fun, accurate, and recoil very little.

Disregard,

Found your answers on page 8 and again on page 10.

Speer 125 TNT.

Been a while since I’ve read the whole thread.

What’s the upper limit on game with the 300 HAMR and the 125 TNT?

Deer? Elk?

Nice to see this thread bump.

I've got a 16" aero m5 AR10 that I built with Wilson Combat's lightest 308 barrel. Great shooter.

Run it with a 3x prism scope. Nice and light.
125 TNT is my bullet of choice, cuz I stocked up on them when they were cheap.

Today I saw the price of starline Ham'r brass for much cheaper than 308 and realized I could probably have the same performance as my AR10 in a much lighter package.

Kicking myself I didn't pickup a Ham'r barrel during the last Wilson combat holiday sale when they were dirt cheap.

Of course I could've built a whole upper then for the barrel price alone these days.
