Hornady 82247 Subsonic 450 Bushmaster 395gr Sub-X Ammo 20rd Box

The Hornady 82247 Subsonic ammunition delivers reliable expansion and deep penetration while maintaining subsonic velocities in 450 Bushmaster platforms. This specialized hunting load combines the proven Sub-X bullet design with carefully matched powder charges to maximize suppressor effectiveness and reduce noise signature.

What Makes This Different

The 395-grain Sub-X bullet features a lead core with a gilding metal jacket and polymer tip specifically engineered for subsonic performance. Unlike standard 450 Bushmaster loads that achieve 2,200+ fps, this ammunition maintains velocities below 1,050 fps to eliminate the supersonic crack. The heavy bullet weight ensures sufficient energy transfer for ethical harvests on medium to large game at subsonic speeds.

Key Features

• 395-grain Sub-X bullet optimized for subsonic expansion
• Muzzle velocity approximately 1,050 fps for sound suppression compatibility
• Polymer tip initiates controlled expansion at lower impact velocities
• Lead core construction provides deep penetration and weight retention
• Brass cases suitable for reloading with proper components
• 20 rounds per box, 10 boxes per case (200 total rounds)
• Boxer-primed cases with consistent powder charges

This subsonic load excels in suppressed hunting applications where noise reduction takes priority over maximum range. The heavy 395-grain bullet maintains sufficient energy for ethical shots on whitetail deer and similar game within 150 yards. Accuracy typically ranges from 2-3 MOA in quality rifles, with consistent point of impact shifts when transitioning from supersonic loads. The ammunition functions reliably in both bolt-action and semi-automatic 450 Bushmaster platforms.
