Product Overview

The Hornady Subsonic 250gr Sub-X is purpose-built for suppressed hunting with .350 Legend rifles. With a massive 250-grain bullet traveling at 1050 fps, this ammunition stays below the sound barrier to eliminate the supersonic crack that can startle game. Despite the reduced velocity, the Sub-X bullet's unique design initiates expansion at subsonic speeds, delivering 612 ft-lbs of energy on target with devastating terminal effect.

This ammunition excels for hunters using suppressed rifles who want to minimize both muzzle blast and sonic signature. The Sub-X bullet features a lead core topped with a polymer tip that drives rearward on impact, initiating expansion even at the lower velocities inherent to subsonic ammunition. The .265 G1 ballistic coefficient is the highest in the .350 Legend lineup, helping the heavy bullet maintain stability and accuracy despite its reduced velocity.

Hunters managing deer populations on suburban properties, hunting near livestock, or simply seeking reduced noise signature will find the Subsonic load invaluable. This ammunition is ideal for close-range hunting from stands or blinds where shots typically occur within 100 yards, as well as for hunters who want to take multiple animals without alarming the entire area. The combination of suppressed rifles with subsonic ammunition creates an exceptionally quiet hunting setup perfect for noise-sensitive environments.

Strengths
  • Purpose-designed for suppressed hunting with subsonic velocities eliminating supersonic crack
  • Sub-X bullet engineered to expand reliably at subsonic speeds
  • Highest ballistic coefficient (.265 G1) in .350 Legend for excellent stability
  • 250-grain bullet provides substantial mass for penetration despite lower velocity
  • Ideal for noise-sensitive hunting environments near residences or livestock
Limitations
  • Significantly reduced muzzle energy (612 ft-lbs) limits effective range to approximately 100 yards
  • Subsonic velocities produce substantial bullet drop requiring careful holdover
  • Higher cost per round than standard supersonic ammunition
  • Requires suppressor to realize full noise-reduction benefits
  • Not recommended for shots beyond 100 yards due to energy limitations
