Long grooves in its gilding metal jacket combine with its flat profile and the patented Flex Tip® insert within the bullet’s hollowpoint cavity to help it expand reliably at low velocities. Sub-X® (Subsonic - expanding) bullets deliver big results without a big bang! Designed to provide deep penetration below the speed of sound, Sub-X® features a lead core. We had a useful quantity of two of the powders listed, H4895 and Trail Boss.Ībout Hornady’s 30 Caliber 190 Grain Sub-X Hodgdon has published an extensive amount of subsonic load data, including for the 308 Winchester.
