![]() This is why the 55 grain SP flat base bullets work well as subsonic round!īullet Trajectory- Distance is in Yards and drop is in inches. OSA215-HORNADY 223REM 75 GR BTHP MATCH 20RNDS. NIO257-FEDERAL 223 REM 64GR JSP POWER-SHOK 20RNDS. Having a high BC bullet at subsonic does not benefit the shooter at all. OSA367-SHEET-ADI WORLD CLASS 223 REM 55GR SIERRA GAME KING 50RNDS. BC (ballistic coefficient) is for supersonic flight, and does not matter at subsonic speeds. This allows the 55 grain SP flat base to be more stable and have the potential to be more accurate at subsonic speeds than a BTHP design. The 55 grain SP flat base is a much shorter bullet than a similar weight 55 V-max or BTHP design. In a given twist rate (like a 1:10″ or 1:9″ barrel twist) and slow subsonic speeds, a shorter, flat base bullet is more stable than a longer BTHP or VLD match bullet of the same weight. Bullet length is a major factor in how stable it is out of the muzzle. Why use a 55 grain SP (soft point) flat base, instead of a BTHP, VLD, polymer tip or match bullet? When shooting at subsonic speeds, bullet stability becomes a huge factor for the bullet to properly stabilize and for it to shoot well. If you are zero’d at 100 yards with normal full power supersonic 223 or 5.56 ammo, your point of impact (POI) with the subs will be about 6″-12″ low at 100 yards. This ammo will NOT cycle an AR-15!!! It will shoot fine out of an AR-15, but you will need to manually cycle the bolt. The 55 grain SP bullet is marginally stable in a 1:12″ twist barrel at subsonic speeds, and should not be shot in any slower twist rate. 22 LR load features a 38-grain hollowpoint bullet that’s designed to expand at a lower velocity of 1,037 fps. If you have a 1:12″ twist, you will need to check bullet stability first before shooting through a suppressor. This ammo will NOT cycle an AR-15!! This ammo is designed for 1:10″ twist or faster (1:9″, 1:8″. ![]() ![]() This subsonic ammo is not designed for barrels longer than 24″. ![]() This ammo is loaded to SUBSONIC speeds for barrels from 10″ to about 22″ barrels.
