Description
Hornady’s Subsonic 350 Legend load is built around a straightforward problem: the .350 Legend case running below the speed of sound. At subsonic velocities, conventional expanding bullets often fail to open reliably because they depend on hydraulic pressure that drops off sharply at lower speeds. Hornady addresses this with the SUB-X bullet, which uses a long, flexible polymer tip seated above a lead core. On impact, the tip is driven rearward into the hollow point cavity, initiating controlled expansion even when velocity is modest. The result is a projectile designed to deliver terminal performance at the ranges and speeds where subsonic ammunition actually operates.
The 250-grain weight is deliberately heavy for the caliber. That mass helps maintain momentum downrange after the bullet leaves the muzzle below the sound barrier, which matters for consistent terminal behavior on medium game. It also contributes to the round’s characteristic mild recoil impulse, which makes it practical for platforms where felt recoil is a consideration. The subsonic nature of this load means it pairs well with suppressed rifles chambered in .350 Legend, where the absence of a supersonic crack is the whole point of the exercise.
Each box contains 20 rounds. This is factory-loaded ammunition from Hornady, not a reduced-power plinking load — the SUB-X bullet and overall construction are intended for hunting use where subsonic performance is required or preferred.
