Hornady® Subsonic Ammunition — designed for accuracy and performance below the speed of sound — now comes in both rifle and handgun loads.
Subsonic Handgun utilizes tried-and-true XTP® bullets that expand reliably at subsonic velocities. The Sub-X bullet used in Subsonic Rifle features a lead core. Long grooves in its gilding metal jacket combine with the bullet’s flat profile and the patented Flex Tip® insert within its hollowpoint cavity to help it expand reliably at low velocities.
Powders are selected for optimal performance and consistency from lot to lot.
Most rounds shot great and were very quiet when fired through my 45/70 and Primal suppressor! I shot a dozen rounds with two misfires. The primers were hit, but I think they were seated a little too deep. Overall, I still like this ammo.
I had 3 that misfired, but not sure if I would’ve had more if I’d used more to sight my rifle. I might have found a few more! It looked like the primers were seated too far in. It would strike the primer but not enough to ignite it. I liked the ammunition because the suppression was great with very little sound! I’m not sure if I’ll buy more since I have two boxes and they’ll last a while, plus I’m not sure if I’ll hunt with them after the misfires.
