Remington Subsonic .45 ACP 230-grain flat nose enclosed base ammunition (Remington part no. 28428) is engineered specifically for shooters running a suppressor on their .45 ACP pistol. Remington built this load to stay below the speed of sound for maximum sound suppression while still cycling reliably in semi-auto pistols. The enclosed base bullet virtually eliminates lead fouling inside suppressor baffles, making cleanup dramatically easier after a long session behind a can. This is a purpose-built round for anyone who wants their suppressed .45 ACP setup to run clean and quiet.
