The Atomic Ammunition 04911 delivers reliable subsonic performance in 357 Magnum with a heavy 230-grain lead hollow point design. This specialized load stays below the sound barrier while maintaining effective terminal performance for suppressed shooting applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 357 Magnum loads that produce significant sonic crack, this subsonic configuration generates substantially less noise signature. The 230-grain weight exceeds typical 357 Magnum bullet weights by 70-80 grains, creating momentum-driven expansion rather than velocity-dependent performance. Atomic's precision loading ensures consistent velocities below 1,050 fps across temperature ranges.
Key Features
- 230-grain lead hollow point bullet for controlled expansion
- Subsonic velocity reduces noise signature and eliminates sonic crack
- Heavy bullet weight maintains energy transfer at reduced velocities
- Lead construction provides cost-effective practice and training option
- Compatible with all 357 Magnum and 357 Maximum firearms
- Boxer-primed brass cases enable reloading capability
- 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
This ammunition excels in suppressed applications where noise reduction takes priority over maximum velocity. The heavy bullet design penetrates effectively through barriers while the hollow point cavity promotes expansion in soft targets. Range officers appreciate the reduced report for indoor facilities, while hunters value the minimal noise disturbance. The lead construction makes this an economical choice for high-volume training sessions.
