Previously posted on Dec/ 2020, my only attempt at subsonic kill to date.

18" 1:11 .308 bolt rifle + Harvester 300
185gr Winchester subsonic HP ammo
50yd hit through the neck, entered behind left lower jaw and exit behind right ear.
Doe dropped and expired in 20~ seconds. The exit wound was no less than that of 165gr supersonic bonded ammo.

45 ACP+p 200 grain loads hover around 450-500 ft lbs which is a respected load.

Most 230 grain ball is 830-850 fps & 330-350 ft lbs.

Is that an app that lets you key in your dope to zero your rifle? If so, what’s the name of it?

This has worked really for me. Hard to find though.

Those are actually pretty good. A lot more reliable than the Remington 220gr (supposedly built by Barnes but I don’t believe it).

The pigs will still run...

Been wanting to try it out. Wasn’t sure if/how bad subs spooked pigs.

That explains it. Maker bullets are really good at making high performance subsonics.
