Product Overview
Hornady Frontier 208-grain FMJ is a plain full metal jacket .300 Blackout subsonic load made for target shooting. Its jacket is closed at the nose, and at 208 grains it is among the heaviest bullets in the caliber. It leaves the muzzle at 1,025 fps with 485 ft-lbs.
Subsonic at the muzzle, it leaves a suppressor no sonic crack to deal with. Hornady lists it for target work and for personal defense, and at 1,025 fps only Hornady's Black 208-grain ELD Match starts slower of the subsonic loads compared.
If you're cross-shopping, that Black 208-grain ELD Match is the same bullet weight 5 fps slower with a polymer-tipped match bullet. Sellier & Bellot's 200-grain Subsonic FMJ is 35 fps faster with 14 ft-lbs more at the muzzle.
- A 208-grain bullet, under only Ammo Inc's 220-grain Stelth of the subsonic loads compared
- 20 ft-lbs more at the muzzle than Hornady's own 190-grain Sub-X
- A plain jacketed bullet at the same weight as Hornady's Black 208-grain ELD Match, with a shade more muzzle energy
- A plain closed jacket, so it is a target bullet. Hornady's own 190-grain Sub-X is the expanding subsonic load
- Ammo Inc's 220-grain Stelth leads the subsonic loads compared on muzzle energy
