The Subsonic Rifle Ammunition is loaded with a 300-grain Custom Competition hollow point boat tail projectile, a bullet design that combines the accuracy-optimizing aerodynamics of the boat tail base geometry with the terminal performance characteristics of a hollow point cavity in a high-weight subsonic configuration purpose-built for the 8.6 Blackout cartridge. The copper and lead construction delivers the consistent dimensional uniformity and ballistic coefficient performance needed for precision target applications, and the heavy 300-grain weight is specifically optimized for the subsonic velocity envelope of the 8.6 Blackout platform. At 950 fps from a 12-inch test barrel, this load remains reliably subsonic across a wide range of barrel lengths, ensuring consistent suppressed performance without the sonic crack associated with supersonic ammunition.
The nickel-plated brass case provides a corrosion-resistant, smooth-cycling case surface that feeds reliably in semi-automatic and bolt action 8.6 Blackout hosts while offering excellent case life for reloaders who want to recycle premium brass after initial firing. Suppressor-safe certification ensures this load is engineered to function reliably without the excessive carbon, debris, or pressure issues that can affect suppressor performance and longevity with non-approved loads. The 601.6 ft. lbs. of muzzle energy delivered by the 300-grain projectile at subsonic velocity provides meaningful terminal performance for target applications while remaining within the subsonic performance envelope that defines the 8.6 Blackout platform's primary use case.
