In the world of firearms, precision and performance are paramount. Enter Hornady's Sub-X Bullets, a testament to innovation in subsonic ammunition technology. These .45 caliber bullets, specifically tailored for the 45-70 Government cartridge, boast a diameter of .458 inches and weigh in at an impressive 410 grains. The essence of these projectiles lies in their ability to deliver formidable results without the thunderous report typically associated with high-power rounds.
At its core, the Sub-X (Subsonic - eXpanding) bullet is engineered for deep penetration while maintaining velocities below the speed of sound. This unique capability is achieved through its lead core construction coupled with long grooves etched into its gilding metal jacket. Such design elements work harmoniously with the bullet’s flat profile and patented Flex Tip insert housed within its hollow point cavity. This synergy ensures controlled expansion even at reduced speeds—a critical factor for ensuring stopping power when discretion is necessary.
Furthermore, Hornady has incorporated cannelures into each projectile's design to provide a positive case crimp—an essential feature that enhances reliability when used in semiautomatic weapons platforms. Whether you're navigating dense woodland or managing urban environments where noise suppression is crucial, Hornady's Sub-X Bullets offer an optimal balance between stealth and impact.
For those seeking mastery over their shooting experience without compromising on efficacy or safety, these bullets represent not just another choice but a superior one.
