I've shot 3 deer and about 10 pigs using blacktip 110 and varmeggedons. Deer shots were through heart/lungs and ran 50 yards or less. No shock like a 270 or 30-06 but it expands perfectly and does the job well. Bigger buck shot at 150yds in lungs piled up quick and had minimal meat waste. Pigs shot up to 150yds in the head and drop like a rock. Ones shot in body ran but not terribly far, max track was about 80 yards.
Gun is all around great setup. Its lightweight and short, making it easy to maneuver. Suppressed with about 8.5" barrel, illuminated dot in scope, high enough power to split ear hairs. No recoil and reasonablely cheap to shoot.

My 7 year old son shoots lights out with it at 100 yards. Killed a spike and pig with it this year. No recoil and a lot better blood trail with it than the 223 he shot last year. It is a cheap PSA upper shooting 110g Hornady Full Boar. So far I’m happy with the results. I asked him it could sell the gun and he gave me the stink eye and told me heck no lol.

I've killed a bunch of hogs with the .300 Blackout. I don't have one myself but two of my buddies do.
I will say this though if you don't plan on running it suppressed there are a lot better choices out there. That was their whole idea around choosing it over anything else. If I was going to get a rifle with intentions of using it suppressed the .300 Blackout would be it.

This! It will kill but you have better options out there.
