Hornady Sub-X 45 Cal 395gr Subsonic Bullets

Hornady Sub-X Subsonic Expanding Bullets

The Sub-X represents a thoughtful solution to a specific problem: delivering effective terminal performance from subsonic ammunition. These 395-grain bullets are engineered to expand reliably at velocities below the speed of sound—a performance envelope where conventional bullets often fail to open properly.

Design Features

Reliable Expansion at Low Velocity

• Patented Flex Tip insert in the hollow point cavity initiates expansion even at subsonic speeds
• Long grooves in the gilding metal jacket work in concert with the flat profile to promote consistent opening
• Lead core construction provides the weight and density necessary for deep penetration

Practical Construction

• Cannelures around the bullet body ensure positive case crimp, critical for semiautomatic firearms where loose bullets can cause feeding problems
• Gilding metal jacket resists corrosion and provides consistent performance across different barrel conditions

Ideal Applications

These bullets excel in 450 Bushmaster and other 45-caliber platforms where shooters prioritize noise reduction without sacrificing terminal effectiveness. The subsonic design makes them suitable for hunting and sport shooting where hearing protection is a concern.
