Namely, subsonic. Hornady has made mountains of 300AAC, both super and subsonic. What has been missing is a subsonic expanding round. That has now been fixed. The new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hornady.com\/ammunition\/subsonic#!\/\" campaign=\"SubX\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">SUB X <\/a>will expand reliably down to 900 fps, giving a range of about 250 yards.

Rifles are gaining more and more acceptance as a self-defense tool, so Hornady has stepped in to fill a gap. Rifle bullets are generally made to shoot a long way and open up slowly for larger game. With a defensive round, we want the opposite. Human beings aren\u2019t that thick ( most days), so we want expansion early. This not only creates the best wound channel, it decreases the risk of overpenetration. That is exactly what Critical Defense was created to do. Look for this on store shelves now, and get testing from us in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Hornady ammo, click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hornady.com\" campaign=\"HornadyAmmo\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hornady has continued to dominate the market in ammunition this year, always surprising with incredibly accurate factory loadings.
