Subsonic .308 Ammo

I would suggest not using subs on deer. My buddy has beck ammunition subs in 308 and it’s very underwhelming on killing deer and pigs. Of the several I have seen him shoot there is not a lot of damage or blood loss no exits, he has quit using them on deer.
It’s basically a 38 special.
The ammo is very accurate though and is almost movie quiet.

So if you know all of that I’m assuming you recovered the deer?

So it’s not dead enough?

180 gr subsonic Makers Rex is what you seek. Enjoy the onslaught!

I’ve done a good bit of research on subsonic bullets in general for deer hunting and 100 yards is what I have read. I watched a video with the CEO of discrete ballistics and he says his bullet can be used at longer ranges. The video was very informative on on subsonic bullets in general not just discrete ballistics. I’m not sure if I believe the guy or not on the range.

When you used subsonic, did it leave a good blood trail for the doe?

I believe he told me that all 3 kills his son made last season was under a corn feeder and they dropped under feeder. I do remember one exit on a doe while skinning and it looked like what those old land shark broadheads did to deer in the eighties. Any expanding subsonic ammo should perform under 100 yards, I would think?

What’s the obsession with having a gun for everything? If you have a .308 with suppressor, I don’t see any issue with shooting subs.

You can get a much smaller rifle in 300 Blk out that is much more efficient at shooting sub sonic rounds.

If someone is completely against getting another rifle ok but my brother in law wanted me to figure out a sub sonic load for his 308 win and his 300 Blk out. I asked him the same thing. Why do you want a sub 308 win when you will have a 300 Blk out.

What’s the longest kill you have had with it?
