Hornady 7.62x39MM 255gr Sub-X

The Hornady 7.62x39MM 255gr Sub-X® (Subsonic eXpanding) Bullets deliver exceptional expansion and deep penetration while operating at subsonic velocities. Engineered for maximum effectiveness without excessive noise, these bullets are designed for reloaders looking to build precision subsonic loads for hunting, self-defense, or suppressed shooting applications.

  • Proven performance – Meets FBI terminal ballistic test protocols
  • Positive case crimp – Cannelured jacket for secure bullet seating in semi-automatic platforms

Important!

THIS IS NOT LOADED AMMUNITION

These are projectiles!  Projectiles are just one component of ammunition.  Projectiles alone cannot be fired from a firearm.  To create functional ammunition, you need additional components such as brass, primers, and smokeless powder.  Assembling these components requires specific knowledge, tools, and precautions.
