Overview
Designed for subsonic applications, this 30 caliber .308 190 grain bullet is intended for hunters and reloaders building loads around lower velocities. Hornady’s FlexTip design is described as aiding expansion down to 900 fps, while the InterLock ring is included to help keep the jacket and core together during expansion. The cannelured jacket is noted for use in tubular magazines and semi-autos, making it a practical option for compatible hunting and shooting setups. Load data should be verified through a reloading manual or the powder manufacturer’s website before use.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed specifically for subsonic use, so it is not intended as a general-purpose .308 projectile for standard-velocity applications.
- The load-data note directs users to consult a reloading manual or powder manufacturer website, so setup requires outside reference material.
- The cannelured jacket is described as aiding use in tubular magazines and semi-autos, which suggests the bullet is tailored to those platforms rather than every rifle configuration.
