It uses the Sub-X bullet, which combines a lead core, long grooves in the gilding metal jacket, a flat profile, and a patented Flex Tip insert to support expansion at low velocities. Packaged in a 20-round box, it is a practical option for hunters looking for a subsonic cartridge in this caliber.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Limited to a 20-round box, so it may not suit high-volume range use or extended practice sessions.
  • Designed for hunting applications, so it is more specialized than general-purpose ammunition.
  • The Sub-X bullet is built around controlled expansion at low velocities, which is a specific performance profile rather than a universal one.
  • Brass casing is listed, but no additional load or compatibility details are provided here, so fit should be confirmed for the intended rifle and use case.
