7.62X39 HORNADY SUB-X 255 GR
HORNADYHornady’s 7.62x39 Sub-X 255gr (SKU: H80787) ammunition is purpose-built for subsonic shooting with maximum expansion — making it ideal for use with suppressors and short-barrel rifles. Whether you’re running a bolt-action or semi-auto platform, this heavy-for-calibre load delivers consistent performance with low noise and reliable terminal results.
The bullet itself features Hornady’s proven Sub-X™ (Subsonic eXpanding) design, engineered to expand even at low velocities. This is achieved through a soft lead core, long groove channels, and a Flex Tip insert that helps initiate expansion on impact — even when speeds drop below 1,050 fps. It’s quiet, clean, and devastatingly effective.
With a legacy of trusted performance in both hunting and tactical applications, Hornady’s subsonic ammo is relied upon by professionals who need their gear to work — no matter the situation. Suitable for pest control, hog hunting, or discreet range use, this is serious ammunition for serious users.
