Description
This is subsonic ammunition built specifically for suppressed pistols. Remington and AAC worked together to create a load that performs reliably at subsonic velocities while staying quiet when you add a suppressor. You get a 230 grain flat nose enclosed base bullet, which is the key to keeping things clean downrange.
Why the Flat Nose Enclosed Base Design Matters
The FNEB bullet keeps exposed lead off the bullet heel, which means less leading in your suppressor ports after extended shooting. If you've ever shot suppressed, you know that fouling buildup is real. This ammunition design cuts that problem down significantly, making post-range cleanup way easier. You won't have that trapped lead gumming up your can.
Tight Velocity Control for Clean Suppressed Shooting
Running at 830 fps, this ammunition stays subsonic without any guesswork. There's no supersonic crack to deal with. Remington maintains controlled velocities from round to round, so you get consistent performance whether you're at 10 yards or pushing 25. In testing, this load produced groups right around 1 inch at 10 yards offhand from a 1911, which is solid performance from a suppressed platform.
Reliable Range Ammunition
Brass cases and consistent ignition mean you can count on this ammunition to cycle reliably through most .45 ACP platforms. A few thousand rounds fired through various hosts showed minimal failures. The ammunition feeds smoothly and runs clean, which pairs well with the FNEB bullet's design philosophy. Whether you're running a 1911, a Glock 21, or something else in between, this load handles the job without fuss.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Remington Subsonic .45 ACP cycle reliably in my 1911?
Yes, this ammunition cycles reliably through 1911 platforms. The 830 fps velocity and standard .45 ACP dimensions mean you'll get consistent feeding and ejection. Testing showed impressive accuracy from 1911s paired with suppressors, with groups under 1 inch at 10 yards.
What's the advantage of the flat nose enclosed base bullet?
The FNEB design removes exposed lead from the bullet heel, which prevents lead buildup inside your suppressor ports. This keeps your suppressor cleaner and requires less maintenance after extended shooting sessions. It's designed from the ground up for suppressed use.
Can I use this ammunition without a suppressor?
Absolutely. The 830 fps velocity is well below the speed of sound, so there's no supersonic crack even without a can. You get reliable performance and lighter recoil as a bonus when shooting unsuppressed.
How does this compare to standard .45 ACP ammunition?
Most standard .45 ACP runs around 800-900 fps anyway, so it's naturally subsonic. The difference here is that Remington controlled the velocity tightly and specifically engineered the bullet for suppressor use. The FNEB design is the real advantage, not necessarily the velocity.
