Hornady Subsonic 450 Bushmaster 395gr Sub-X

Hornady Subsonic 450 Bushmaster Ammunition

Hornady Subsonic ammunition represents a thoughtful approach to modern rifle shooting. Designed to perform reliably below the speed of sound, this load offers shooters a practical combination of reduced noise, manageable recoil, and genuine stopping power.

The Sub-X Bullet Design

The heart of this load is Hornady's Sub-X bullet—a purpose-built projectile engineered specifically for subsonic performance. Key features include:

• Patented Flex Tip insert within the hollowpoint cavity that promotes reliable expansion at low velocities
• Long grooves in the gilding metal jacket that work in concert with the bullet's flat profile
• Lead core construction for consistent weight and predictable ballistics
• Flat profile that enhances stability and accuracy in flight

Performance Characteristics

This 395-grain load delivers velocity around 1,050 feet per second—well below the sound barrier. The result is a round that performs exceptionally well for:

• Training and practice with significantly reduced noise signature
• Shooters seeking lower recoil without sacrificing terminal performance
• Suppressed rifle applications where subsonic velocities are essential
• New shooters who benefit from the gentler shooting experience

Quality and Consistency

Hornady selects powders specifically for optimal performance and lot-to-lot consistency. Each 20-round box represents ammunition built to exacting standards, ensuring that every shot performs as intended.

Whether you're training, hunting, or simply enjoying a more pleasant shooting experience, Hornady Subsonic ammunition delivers reliable, accurate performance below the speed of sound.
