Hornady Sub-X 30 Cal .308 190 Grain Subsonic Bullets

Hornady Sub-X Subsonic Expanding Bullets

The Sub-X represents a thoughtful engineering solution for shooters who demand performance without excessive noise. These 190-grain .308 caliber bullets are purpose-built to function reliably at subsonic velocities—below the speed of sound—where conventional expanding bullets often fail to perform.

Key Features

• Patented Flex Tip Insert: Located within the hollowpoint cavity, this innovation ensures reliable expansion even at the reduced velocities inherent to subsonic loads
• Long Jacket Grooves: Strategically placed grooves in the gilding metal jacket promote controlled, consistent expansion
• Flat Profile Design: Optimized ballistics for subsonic performance
• Lead Core Construction: Provides the weight and density necessary for deep penetration
• Cannelure Ring: Enables positive case crimp, making these bullets ideal for semiautomatic firearms where consistent seating is critical

Performance Profile

These bullets are engineered for shooters who understand that subsonic ammunition demands different design principles than standard loads. The combination of the Flex Tip insert and jacket grooves allows the bullet to expand reliably at velocities where traditional hollow points simply won't open. This makes Sub-X an excellent choice for suppressed rifles, where subsonic ammunition is often preferred for optimal sound reduction.
