#Subsonic rounds vs supersonic crack

HUSH Subsonic ammunition doesn't exhibit a supersonic crack thereby making HUSH ammunition quieter when shot through your favorite suppressor. Subsonic loads are ideal for shooting through suppressors because they help reduce the sound signature better than standard ammunition. The bullets and their profiles were chosen to give each load the most consistent, accurate performance of any available suppressor specific ammunition on the market. The ballisticians at Freedom Munition’s new ballistics lab custom built each load for suppressor usage each load features the cleanest and quickest powder for the caliber to help keep suppressed firearms as clean as possible while maintaining subsonic velocities and maintaining reliability.

Every round of HUSH is proudly loaded in our Lewiston, Idaho USA facilities.įreedom Munition’s HUSH ammunition line was designed from the ground up to provide the best in affordability, reliability and cleanliness in suppressed pistols and rifles. Affordability, accuracy and reliability are built into each HUSH subsonic round we manufacture. This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in reloadable brass cases. the three basics twist rates for black powder are 1:28 1:48 1:66 and i know for a fact that people can lob their huge chunks of lead out to the 1000yrd point.- 9mm HUSH suppressed 125.8dB. This now brings me back to Black powder rifles, which is basicly what we are kinda mimicing and those numbers are identical in velocities and such(only diff is bullet wieght).the idea everyone has been stateing was the rifle wasnt twisting the bullet enough to stabilize at the velocity. i think that i will SERIOUSLY be loading up some rounds this weekend just to put this to an end as i seriously think at 150yrds i will hold 3' or better (give an idea i hold on average 1.4' at 300yrd with my normal hand loads and any of you can research it in my previous posts)ĭust_Remover = you are right about the BC and twist rate on the bullet at a 1000yds (forgot it was NOT linear with loss in velocity to loss in rotation) 22 rim fire should be the ONLY thing used if needed.Īs for effective range: that is the disscusion. if i have critters around my house i need to use Sub.

Now civilian use i may differ from Dust on this. yes as both Dust_Remover and i have said tactical would be SHORT range as in urban (100yrds +or - a bit) Thank you lonewolf for the factual info, do you have any numbers to let us play with?Īs for the use of the sub round. Okay, this thread seems to be getting a little off track here. From the civilian standpoint, it's the desire to shoot the critters that are causing problems in the yard and you don't want your neighbors to be the wiser. I would run the numbers to figure out the differences, however I just got off work and i'm tired, so i'll leave the math to someone else.Īs for sub rounds from the tactical point, if I were in a combat or police situation where I were using sub rounds with a supressed rifle, I would likely be using them in urban conditions where the ranges are low, and the need to keep your position concealed is crucial. Yes, it's losing rotational speed, just not as quick. The rotation of the bullet still encounters friction from the air, however at a much lower coefficient of friction. The bullet actually is pushing against the air, and the friction of the air on the sides of the bullet is causing it to lose velocity. , and plinking past 150 isnt really in the nature of this round either so now accuracy is the only thing we need to worry about for plinking at say the 150 mark which is where we start loosing life on the roundįor the chart i choose a RN as the weight is pretty evenly distributed through the bullet and would NOT need to be loaded backwards (i still think it is more myth than fact at this time as the RN would disprove the backward theory)ĮDIT: after looking at the chart, i think this round may hold better than i thought even possibly out to 300 with out toumbling? anyone agree?Ĭlick to expand.Not quite, the bullet is going to lose some rotational velocity, however it won't lose it anywhere close to the rate that the velocity of the bullet itself is losing. the bullet will not start tumbling before 100rds in either load, so lets face it the only real use for sub is plinking, and a sub round should hold at least a 2' group at a 100yrds bare min i know ther is debate on this and i think that i need to load up a batch to see for my self.īut in the mean time lets look at the chartsįor tactical uses, anything over 100yrds wouldnt be done with Sub. The backwards load isnt solving the issue of accuracy. Yeah i read that as well, but the H*** if i am going to be the one that tries to figure out that pressure on my rifle with a load like that ? i mean if you load up backwards then think how FAR off the lans it will be.
