Good to know it stays sub in a 16 inch. I've been a little concerned aboutit running sub in a 7.5 inch.Working on finishing up a case of this ammo right now. I got 1000 for $216 to the door last year and have been shooting it on a regular basis. This will stay subsonic even out of a 16" AR9. I haven't had any issues with it at all in my AR9, Glock 17, and a couple of other guns.
