This review examines Remington's new low-decibel, subsonic .410 ammunition, comparing its performance and sound signature to standard velocity loads. The reviewer tests patterning at 10 and 20 yards with different chokes and firearms, noting the tight patterns of the subsonic rounds. While praising the reduced noise and recoil for introducing new shooters, the reviewer expresses skepticism about its effectiveness for hunting small game due to low velocity and shot size.

Quick Summary

Remington's new low-decibel .410 ammunition features a low advertised velocity of 650 feet per second, producing a sound signature comparable to a .22 Long Rifle. This makes it ideal for introducing new shooters due to its reduced recoil and quieter report, though its effectiveness for hunting small game is questioned.
