Hornady Subsonic ammunition for .450 Bushmaster rifles is engineered to perform below supersonic velocities while maintaining consistent accuracy and controlled recoil. The load uses Hornady’s Sub‑X bullet design, which pairs a hollowpoint cavity, grooved gilding-metal jacket, and Flex Tip insert to promote expansion at lower velocities. This configuration is intended for shooters who require subsonic performance in hunting and precision applications.
