The Atomic Ammunition 00472 delivers consistent subsonic performance in 308 Winchester, engineered for suppressed shooting applications where noise reduction remains critical. This 260-grain soft point round nose ammunition maintains reliable terminal ballistics while staying below the sound barrier.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard velocity 308 Winchester loads that produce supersonic crack, this subsonic configuration eliminates the sonic boom entirely when fired through suppressed rifles. The heavy 260-grain bullet compensates for reduced velocity through increased mass, delivering substantial energy transfer on target. Factory-loaded consistency ensures reliable feeding and extraction across bolt-action and semi-automatic platforms.
Key Features
- 260-grain soft point round nose bullet optimized for subsonic velocities
- 308 Winchester brass cases with boxer primers for reliable ignition
- Velocity engineered to remain below 1,100 fps at muzzle
- Soft point construction provides controlled expansion on game
- Compatible with suppressed and unsuppressed rifles
- Factory-loaded ammunition eliminates handloading variables
- 50 rounds per box packaging for extended shooting sessions
This ammunition excels in hunting scenarios where stealth matters most, particularly for pest control and close-range game harvesting. The subsonic design reduces noise signature significantly when paired with quality suppressors, making follow-up shots more feasible. Accuracy remains consistent at typical hunting distances, with the heavy bullet maintaining trajectory better than lighter subsonic alternatives.
