How to read it: filled circles are the near and far zero, where the bullet's path crosses the line of sight;the triangle is the peak (max ordinate). The shaded band is the 8" vital zone, ±4" either side of the line of sight. The dashed line marks the edge of the hold-dead-on window. The chart is zoomed to where the zero matters; the tables below run to 400 yards.

Product Overview
Hornady Subsonic 395-grain Sub-X is a polymer-tipped .450 Bushmaster load made for medium game. The Sub-X bullet is built to open at subsonic speed, and at 395 grains it is far heavier than anything else loaded in the caliber. It leaves the muzzle at 1,050 fps with 967 ft-lbs and has a G1 BC of .300.
Zeroed at 150 yards, it drops 18.0 inches at 200 and 85.5 inches at 300. From a 100-yard zero it drops 34.9 inches at 200. It is still moving 921 fps at 200 yards.
If you're cross-shopping, Federal's Power-Shok 300-grain is the supersonic soft point in .450 Bushmaster, leaving the muzzle at 1,900 fps, and from a 150-yard zero it drops 6.9 inches at 200.
- Subsonic at the muzzle, so a suppressor has only muzzle blast to work on
- Loses only 129 fps between the muzzle and 200 yards
- The highest G1 BC in .450 Bushmaster, from the heaviest bullet in the caliber
- Its path matches nothing else in the caliber, so switching between it and a supersonic load means a new zero
- The least muzzle energy in .450 Bushmaster by a wide margin
- Without a suppressor the rifle is as loud as any other .450 Bushmaster
