#Atomic ammo subsonic 223 full

My red dot is not sighted in on my new build yet, I was on a target that had already been shot, and my goal was to first see if these rounds would cycle reliably rather than see if they tumbled, etc. I did NOT evaluate for accuracy or downrange performance, for multiple reasons.

The next couple mags I used cycled 100% of the rounds, both slow shooting and faster shooting. The first mag cycled all but one round, which I cleared with ease and finished the mag.

I use a standard fixed gas block, and was pleasantly surprised to get not only subsonic performance, but cycling as well. I shot a total of 100 rounds through my 16' 5.56 build (1:9 twist, chrome-lined Stag barrel), along with my Blackhawk Gas Can suppressor (the same as a SilencerCo Saker 5.56). I was a bit hesitant at first, but excited to try something that had good potential. However, until recently, cycling subsonic 5.56 ammo didn' t exist at all unless you spent several grand on a rifle from Beck Defense and their proprietary ammo that also cost an arm and a leg. 223 caliber firearms.ĪTOMIC 00408 223REM 112 CYCLING TACT SUBS 50/10Įven though unicorns are 100% real, they' re pretty hard to find.
