In the realm of ballistics, effectiveness often comes with a thunderous report. Yet, Hornady's Sub-X (Subsonic eXpanding) bullets challenge this notion by delivering substantial results without the accompanying noise. These projectiles are crafted for those who demand performance below the threshold of sound.
The 30 CAL .308 190 GR Sub-X bullet is an embodiment of innovation and precision engineering. At its core lies lead, ensuring weight and stability essential for deep penetration even at reduced velocities. The gilding metal jacket features long grooves that enhance ballistic efficiency while maintaining structural integrity as it courses through the air.
A hallmark of this design is its flat profile combined with a patented Flex Tip insert nestled within its hollowpoint cavity. This marriage ensures reliable expansion upon impact, despite traveling at subsonic speeds—a feat seldom achieved in traditional ammunition design.
Cannelures on these bullets offer a positive case crimp, which translates to enhanced reliability when used in semiautomatic firearms—an advantage not only in consistency but also in safety during cycling operations.
For enthusiasts or professionals seeking quiet efficacy without sacrificing terminal performance, Hornady’s Sub-X provides an exemplary solution: subtle yet potent.
