Subsonic Ammo

Showing all 20 results

Subsonic ammunition, designed to travel below the speed of sound, offers quieter shots with reduced sonic crack, making it ideal for use with suppressors or bolt-action rifles. With lower muzzle velocity and a heavier bullet, subsonic ammo ensures low recoil and effective range, perfect for both small game and tactical use in the United States. Explore subsonic rounds today for a more discreet and controlled shooting experience.

The Benefits of Subsonic Rounds

  • Decreased Noise: Subsonic ammunition travels below the speed of sound, reducing or eliminating the supersonic crack typically heard with higher-velocity rounds. This results in significantly lower noise levels.
  • Use with Suppressors: Subsonic ammo works seamlessly with suppressors, benefiting hunters by enhancing their effectiveness in reducing sound and recoil.
  • Accuracy and Recoil: Subsonic ammunition is most effective for hunting and self-defense applications because it tends to offer lower recoil due to its heavier bullet and slower speeds. This makes it easier to maintain accuracy, especially in a bolt-action rifle or semi-automatic firearms.

  3. Penetration & Expansion: We perform FBI-calibrated testing using Type A Ordnance Gelatin to accurately measure penetration and expansion. Every self-defense and hunting round is rigorously validated for consistent performance.
  4. Velocity & Pressure: Our rounds are precision-engineered using clean powders, optimal burn rates, and proven bullet weights, following caliber-specific guidelines for exceptional consistency. We use SAAMI specifications, trusted industry data, and advanced chronograph analysis to tightly control velocity and pressure.

Choosing the Right Subsonic Ammo for Your Needs

Selecting the best subsonic ammo depends on several factors, including firearm type, application, and desired performance.

  • Firearm Type & Barrel Length: Different firearms and barrel lengths impact subsonic speeds and overall performance. A longer barrel can help stabilize rounds, while some semi-automatic firearms may require specific loads for reliable cycling.
  • Application Type: Whether for self-defense, hunting, or recreational shooting, choosing the right subsonic ammo ensures optimal performance. Lower velocity rounds provide low noise for suppressed shooting, making them ideal for certain tactical and hunting situations.
  • Desired Benefits: Subsonic ammo minimizes supersonic crack, improves control with low recoil, and enhances accuracy at closer ranges. Those seeking quiet operation will benefit from lower velocity rounds designed for suppressed shooting.
