I hunted with a 125gr load last year, but may try cast subsonic suppressed this year (short range from a stand). Suppressed .300 is ridiculously quiet.


Are you looking for CNS shots, or breaking shoulders?


how about ribcage lung shots....


Putting a low velocity, small diameter bullet with a small chance of expansion through the lungs seems like a recipe for a tracking job I don't want.
