Comparing .300 Blackout Supersonic Vs Subsonic.

.300 BLACKOUT AMMO is a very popular round and its popularity has increased in the last decade or so. Both its supersonic and subsonic variants of this are equally popular. supersonic are traditional round which breaks the sound barrier and gives a small sonic crack. Supersonic are not just traditional but are also used more for the simple reason that the faster the bullet travels better it is as it has more energy and less wind drift, also has more range and is less expensive.

 

The same is true for supersonic .300 blackout. subsonic .300 blackouts are heavier than supersonic ones, it is the weight that stops them from breaking the sound barrier, subsonic also gives lighter recoil. For example, 220 gr .300 blackouts are quit. Subsonic Ammo is known for lower recoil .300 blackout subsonic ammo is hearing safe and operator friendly, there are reports that in certain operations they are really useful, where guys in the adjacent rooms could not hear the sound of it being used in another room.

 

This subsonic variant is useful in certain conditions such as combat operation, self-defence and close range but as far as hunting is concerned, especially long range big game hunting they are not ideal. for big game hunting from long range supersonic .300, blackout ammo should be the choice. Although for close range pig hunting subsonic is the ideal choice as you can hit back to back shots at a faster rate. as far as comparing the two variants is concerned and stating which is better, well supersonic is better than subsonic in most areas but one i.e. if you want a silent kill then you can use subsonic .300 Blackout Ammo. although supersonic .300 can be suppressed that is not the ideal way, it is better to use the subsonic variant. .300 blackout subsonic can be the quietest round when fired through a closed breech firearm like a bolt action or single shot rifle. Also, it depends on the user and what sort of use he has, if he wants to shoot quickly and quietly then subsonic .300 but if you want to shoot flat with appropriate ballistic energy then supersonic has to be the choice.

 

Talking of price then subsonic is expensive and supersonic are cheaper as compared to them and for this reason, also they are more used in target practising, hunting etc.
