Hornady Subsonic 300 Blackout 190gr Sub-X Ammunition is expertly engineered for exceptional accuracy and consistent performance at velocities below the speed of sound. This makes it an ideal choice for hunters and sport shooters in New Zealand and beyond who seek a quieter shooting experience, particularly when using a suppressor. Featuring the innovative 190gr Sub-X™ (Subsonic - eXpanding) bullet, this ammunition is specifically designed to deliver reliable expansion even at lower velocities, crucial for effective hunting.

The advanced construction of the Sub-X™ bullet includes a robust lead core, complemented by long grooves in its gilding metal jacket. This thoughtful design, combined with the bullet’s flat profile and the patented Flex Tip® insert within its hollowpoint cavity, ensures consistent and dependable expansion upon impact. A cannelure is also precisely incorporated for a positive case crimp, significantly enhancing reliability, especially in semi-automatic firearms.

This Hornady 300 Blackout subsonic load meets or exceeds stringent FBI Protocol terminal ballistic test requirements, demonstrating its effectiveness in real-world scenarios. Comprehensive testing into ballistic gelatin shows an impact velocity of 1,020 fps, consistently achieving 16-18” of penetration and retaining over 90% of its original weight. This ensures reliable terminal performance for various hunting applications.

Experience a significantly reduced report compared to traditional supersonic rounds. When paired with a suppressor, Hornady Subsonic Ammunition offers an even quieter shooting experience, making it perfect for discreet hunting or range sessions. Unique powders, specifically optimised for subsonic use, contribute to a remarkably low flash signature, ensuring discreet performance whether your firearm is suppressed or unsuppressed.
