This widely available load offers the AR owner great versatility from one firearm, although many feel it’s unnecessary unless it’s used with a suppressor. With a bolt carrier group and barrel change, it can be fired through the AR15 platform.
300 AAC Blackout caliber, purpose-made for suppressed shooting. 223 load through my AR, being quite accurate at 175 yards while experiencing virtually no recoil nor roof-shaking noise, I had to cycle the bolt by hand.Ī notable exception is the popular. Though I had great fun shooting Atomic’s. Some subsonic loads can, consistently or occasionally depending on the firearm, fail to dependably cycle the action. To me, hearing protection and wider acceptance of our right to bear and use firearms are the biggest advantages, however long-term their realization. Quieter shooting is an asset not just for gun users, but also for non-shooting neighbors who are less likely to object to our hobby-at home as well as in the voting booth. Ear protection is still required on non-suppressed firearms, but it’s still much quieter. In addition, subsonic ammo helps to protect the irreplaceable asset of hearing. It’s also a good choice for teaching gun handling and marksmanship fundamentals to a new or very young shooter without the complication of recoil.
Some hunters claim the remaining animals may still spook, but since subsonic offers no muzzle flash and no directional bearing on sound, they may actually run in the hunter’s direction. When fired using a suppressor, subsonic is less likely to scare away the rest of the herd. That makes it a great choice for indoor or urban ranges, as well as hunting, especially for circumstances in which a landowner may want to eliminate more than a single varmint or pest animal. Even when fired unsuppressed, it’s substantially quieter. Uses for subsonic are any application where less noise and/or less recoil are desired. 22 LR is available in subsonic form, so far the author has not seen.
