Hornady's Black 300 Blackout 208gr A-Max brings match-grade precision to the subsonic realm. At 1020 fps, this load slides in comfortably under the sound barrier while the hefty 208-grain A-Max projectile delivers consistent, repeatable accuracy that'll make you question everything you thought you knew about subsonic performance. It's the difference between merely shooting slow and shooting slow with surgical precision.

When darkness falls and sound discipline matters, this load truly shines. That carefully engineered A-Max bullet, originally designed for long-range precision, brings unprecedented stability to subsonic velocities. Paired with a quality suppressor, you'll appreciate the significant reduction in muzzle blast compared to supersonic loads. Yet unlike typical subsonic rounds that sacrifice accuracy for reduced velocity, this one puts rounds exactly where you aim, magazine after magazine.

From discrete pest control to serious training with night vision equipment, this ammunition opens up possibilities that standard loads can't touch. The 480 ft-lbs of energy might seem modest on paper, but when every round hits precisely where you aim, you don't need excess power. Urban property owners particularly appreciate how this load handles nuisance animals while minimizing noise signature. And for home defense? Let's just say that maintaining your night vision and protecting your hearing become much simpler when your ammunition works with you instead of against you.
