ANOKA, Minnesota – March 30, 2026 – Federal Ammunition is now shipping its new Federal Subsonic target soft-point and hollow-point loads, designed to deliver effective performance and extreme accuracy at velocities that produce whisper-quiet shooting through suppressors.
Federal Subsonic “For shooters who want noise reduction that’s real, not just relative, there’s finally a solution,” said Josh Vickers, Federal’s Centerfire Ammunition Product Manager. “Our team selected some of Federal’s most trusted and reliable target bullet designs and loaded them to muzzle velocities of 1,000 feet-per-second. At just below the speed of sound, this eliminates the harsh supersonic crack of standard-velocity ammunition that suppressors can’t silence without sacrificing the precision or performance shooters need. Our 45-70 Government, 308 Win., and 30-30 Win. and options are now shipping and are shooting great.”
