    Subsonic with jacketed is a waste of time unless using the new specially designed ones
    Cast bullets are good hunting projectiles, at velocities from 1200 to 1800+, to get more power increase the bullet diameter
    .30 cal is really the smallest to consider stepping up to .35-.38 is better with bullets 200 pus grains
    No real intention to use them for hunting. Perhaps a rabbit, that would be it.
    I have abt 300, intend to use them for plinking.
    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

    A bit more bang is better.
