Subsonic 7.62x39mm hunting and defense ammo? Sounds awesome! If you share that sentiment, then you’d better stock up on Hornady Subsonic before all the other rednecks beat you to it!
The reason for this round’s EXTREMELY low 1,050 fps muzzle velocity (75 fps lower than the speed of sound) is pretty obvious. Two hundred fifty five grains is OUTRAGEOUSLY heavy for the 7.62x39. But the proof is in the pudding: very gentle reports, and perfect operation with a suppressor.
This round’s Sub-X bullet is specifically designed for subsonic performance. When impact drives the Sub-X’s large polymer tip down the shaft of its deep hollow point nose cavity, the bullet reacts by undergoing HUGE expansion. Hornady places the Sub-X’s G1 BC at 0.365. If you’re firing a 20” barrel and zero in at 100 yards, then you can look forward to this kind of ultra-steep drop-off:
0 yds; 1,050 fps; 624 ft lbs; -1.50”
100 yds; 988 fps; 553 ft lbs; 0.03”
200 yds; 939 fps; 500 ft lbs; -34.04”
300 yds; 898 fps; 457 ft lbs; -107.49”
400 yds; 862 fps; 421 ft lbs; -224.03”
500 yds; 829 fps; 389 ft lbs; -387.63”
