Thread: Hunting with subs in 300BLK

Having shot subs out of my 308 on fallow and pigs I really didnt like them as much as the as the bow which had a much bigger wound path. And limiting myself to 50m means its bow range with good practice and a compound. They killed but very slow often used both lead HPs and Lehighs. The Lehigh's were much better and id be happy shooting them for lungs etc within rage but the lead have been demoted to head shots (which i dont really or pests. I also used the factory Winchester subs but they were supersonic in my rifle although they did expand well they didn't seem to do any more damage than the lead bullets. I haven't tried the Sub x however and have only seen one shot and it was straight on as a homekill lamb and it kind of ramped up the skull and deflected. we didnt realise this at the time as the sheep got knocked out cold but woke up as we started to slit its throat. A closure inspection showed a cut/gouge up the forehead splitting the skin etc. Personally I do carry some sub loads with my 308 and will load some for my 7mm08 to carry to be able to shoot hares, possums etc but if i wanted a sub gun id buy something bigger bore like 45/70, 450 bushmaster.
