Armscor USA 9mm Subsonic Ammo - 147 Grain FMJ

147 Grain Subsonic 9mm

Armscor USA's 9mm subsonic load pairs a heavy 147 grain bullet with a full metal jacket for range practice and plinking. Subsonic means the bullet travels below the speed of sound, so it skips the sharp supersonic crack a faster round makes. That makes it a sensible pick for suppressed pistols and pistol-caliber carbines, and for shooters who simply prefer a slower, heavier load. Each box holds 50 centerfire cartridges.

Features

• 9mm Caliber — Chambered in 9mm, also known as 9x19mm or 9mm Luger, the most common handgun cartridge in the US.
• 147 Grain Bullet — At 147 grains this is the heaviest of the standard 9mm bullet weights, heavier than the common 115 and 124 grain loads.
• Subsonic Velocity — The bullet stays below the speed of sound, which keeps it from producing a sonic crack downrange.
• Full Metal Jacket — A copper jacket wraps the bullet's core so it feeds smoothly and leaves less lead fouling in the barrel.
• Round Nose Profile — The rounded copper nose shown on the box is the shape most 9mm magazines and feed ramps are designed around.
• Brass Cases — Each cartridge is loaded in a brass case with a centerfire primer seated in the middle of the case head.
• 50 Round Box — Rounds come in a 50-count retail box, a convenient quantity for a range session.
• Made In The USA — The box is marked as manufactured in the United States.

Range And Suppressor Use

This load fits any firearm chambered for 9mm, whether a duty-size pistol, a compact carry gun or a pistol-caliber carbine. Because the bullet never breaks the sound barrier, a suppressor can work on muzzle noise alone, which is why heavy subsonic 9mm is a common choice for suppressed shooting. The FMJ bullet is built for practice and target work rather than defensive expansion.
