I've been bugging Hornady allot to release these for reloading. Shoot great out of my 8 inch BO. Nice and quiet too with my sandman-s. Never developed loads for subsonic but once I get some of these, will start. Already have about 20 boxes of the commercial ammo I've built up.

cool. I got tired of waiting and bought a bunch of Makers REX 220's. I'm hoping to put one into a deer this season (opening weekend was a bust).

I’ve had good luck with Nosler’s subsonic 220 he ballistic tip from an accuracy standpoint.

I can’t justify shooting a game animal with a subsonic to myself, so no experience with terminal performance.

What would happend if you put that bullet in a 300 RUM and shot it at 3300 fps?

KABOOM?

Which one? The hornady?

It might come apart in flight. I know the Nosler 220 subsonic is very inaccurate in my 300 ultra compared to the standard 220 partition. I tried it as a cheap hunting load comparison practice round.

More likely it would expand so fast that you would get a nasty surface wound if you hit something with it a close range. At long range it would expand well.

The subsonic bullets are intended to expand at lower velocities.

When I get a few boxes, will load up a few at max charge to see how they do out of my 308 bolt rifle. Could try some out of my 12.5 inch 308 AR too.

Probably not designed to stay together at that kind of velocity and accompanying spin rate. I'm guessing it would fly apart if it's designed to expand at subsonic velocities...

maybe it would break apart and act like a scattergun

I sent hornady a email to see if its possible to shoot these out of a 308 at max speed for a 190 grain bullet.

Ok I get that. I think of a kaboom as something else.

With a fast twist and extreme velocity, my bet would be the bullet would disintegrate in flight.

Something like this video

Got a reply:

Due to the fact it was developed for a small cartridge round it may not however; our lab is shooting the data for that bullet for other cartridges and the extended terminal velocity range, max and min. Once they have done that it will be available here and may be posted on the website but I'd ask that you contact us after the first of the year when it should be done.
Thank You,
TZ

Guess I will wait until they test it out. Still not in stock yet.
