Hornady Sub-X (Subsonic eXpanding) bullets are engineered to expand reliably at subsonic velocities. The 35 Cal (.357 dia) 250 grain Sub-X combines a lead core with a gilding metal jacket and the patented Flex Tip polymer insert to promote consistent expansion at lower speeds. Long grooves in the jacket and a cannelure provide positive case crimping, making these bullets suitable for semi-automatic firearms and handloaded subsonic applications.
