300 Blackout was specifically designed to run subsonic loads reliably from standard AR-15 components with a suppressor attached. Hornady Subsonic 300 Blackout 208gr A-Max gives that platform the ammunition it was built for — reliably sub-speed-of-sound, suppressor-optimized, and accurately loaded.
The 208gr A-Max carries enough mass to stay clearly subsonic across temperature extremes and barrel lengths from 7" pistols to 16" carbines — no guessing whether a hot day pushed a marginal load over the threshold. At 208 grains, this load is optimized for the intended application in 300 Blackout.
- Caliber: 300 Blackout

- Bullet Type: A-Max
- Velocity: Subsonic — below 1,125 fps

- Quantity: Box of 20
- Origin: Made in USA
For suppressed AR-15 hosts with 300 Blackout barrels, suppressed and unsuppressed. Designed specifically for 300 Blackout chambers — not interchangeable with 5.56. Gas-operated semi-automatic platforms may require an adjustable gas block or suppressor-optimized port to cycle reliably on subsonic loads — verify your specific host's requirements before committing to a full training session.
Charge weight is calibrated with enough margin below the subsonic threshold that temperature variation across seasonal use doesn't push a round unexpectedly over the speed of sound. Consistent brass internal volume keeps ignition uniform and velocity predictable from round to round.
Used by suppressed hunters requiring quiet pest control, SBR owners running cans on 300 Blackout hosts, and home defense shooters who want to reduce the pressure wave inside an enclosed structure without giving up terminal reliability.
Hornady Subsonic ammunition is made in Grand Island, Nebraska and held to the same component quality standards as the rest of the Hornady catalog — reliability is not an optional feature in a load where the entire point is consistent behavior.
