Hate to tell ya but the amax's and SMK s will have difficulty expanding at the subsonic speeds. Amax do most their damage being frangible and at higher speeds and will hit the expansion / frangibility wall pretty quick developing sub-sonic rounds.
I've never had great results on game with the 208s hornady package up for the whisper.
My go in the 300 Blk (same pill different parent cartridge) has been something with a wide impact area Meplat. Best was the Le high max expansions followed by the Barnes tac-TTSX but if you want a good easy to get round try the noslers ballistic tip or even Tnt's.
Just my 2c.
