#SubsonicAmmunition

Norma designs some great ammunition manufacturing millions upon millions of cartridges for both the US and European markets. The company’s latest offering is their new TAC-22 Subsonic 40-grain ammunition featuring a lead round nose hollow point bullet and an advertised muzzle velocity of 1,017 feet per second keeping the rounds well under the range of supersonic making them much more pleasant to shoot, with or without a suppressor.

Subsonic ammunition is a world unto its own when it comes to the firearms, loading techniques, and materials used in their design and manufacturing. Handloaders will know the hell that it is to get a loading right and it’s places like Discreet Ballistics and people like David Stark who make it that much easier. Discreet Ballistics specializes in subsonic ammunition production and also produces some pretty unique suppressor innovations like their PopStop first-round pop reduction system. Today on the podcast Pete and David will talk about the company’s origins in New Hampshire and their recent move to Wyoming as well as the methodology and design behind their subsonic projectiles and ammunition.
