For hunters who appreciate the legacy of the 30-30 Winchester but want modern subsonic capability, the Hornady 30-30 Win Rifle Ammunition Brass 20 Rounds 175 Grain Sub-X delivers controlled performance in a quieter package. Designed specifically for subsonic applications, this load pairs classic lever-gun heritage with advanced bullet engineering built for dependable expansion at lower velocities.
At the center of this cartridge is the 175 grain Sub-X bullet. Engineered to expand reliably at subsonic speeds, the Sub-X features a polymer tip and specialized internal construction that promotes consistent upset even when velocity is reduced. The heavier 175 grain profile helps maintain momentum and supports deep penetration, making it suitable for medium game at practical distances. It’s built to perform where traditional bullets might fail to expand under subsonic conditions.
With a muzzle velocity of 1050 feet per second, this load stays below the speed of sound in most environments, making it well suited for suppressed rifles and hunters seeking reduced noise. It produces 428 foot-pounds of muzzle energy, offering effective short-range performance with a softer shooting impulse.
Each round is loaded into high-quality brass casings and fitted with reliable centerfire Boxer primers for consistent ignition and smooth cycling. The brass is fully reloadable, providing long-term value for shooters who prefer to develop tailored handloads. Hornady’s strict quality standards ensure uniform powder charges and precise bullet seating for consistent accuracy.
Packaged in a 20 round box, this Hornady 30-30 Win 175 Grain Sub-X ammunition delivers modern subsonic performance while honoring the proven capability of a time-tested hunting cartridge.
The 30-30 Win 175 Grain Sub-X brass ammo delivers 1050 fps subsonic power.
