Who This Is For
This ammunition is ideal for hunters pursuing whitetail, feral hogs, or other medium-to-large game who want to run a suppressor without sacrificing terminal effectiveness. It's also a smart choice for tactical and home-defense shooters running suppressed 450 Bushmaster builds who need a heavy, hard-hitting projectile that stays below the sound barrier while still expanding reliably on soft tissue targets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this ammunition suitable for use with a suppressor?
Yes — the Hornady Sub-X 450 Bushmaster load is specifically engineered to travel below the speed of sound (1,050 fps), making it an excellent choice for suppressed rifles. Running subsonic ammunition eliminates the supersonic crack of the projectile, allowing your suppressor to work at its full potential for noise reduction.
Will the Sub-X bullet expand reliably at such a low velocity?
Absolutely. Hornady designed the Sub-X bullet with subsonic expansion in mind. The Flex Tip® insert inside the hollowpoint cavity initiates consistent expansion even at reduced velocities, while the long grooves in the gilding metal jacket help the bullet open up predictably through soft tissue — addressing the biggest challenge of traditional hollowpoint bullets at subsonic speeds.
What firearms are compatible with this 450 Bushmaster ammunition?
This ammunition is chambered for any rifle or pistol chambered in 450 Bushmaster, including popular AR-15 platform rifles with a 450 Bushmaster upper, Ruger American Ranch rifles, and various bolt-action builds. Always verify your specific firearm's chamber markings and consult your owner's manual before use.
