Thread: Subsonic load for 308

dont do it......by all means go light load,but subs suck if your aim is slightly off..... and shooternz on here has awesome 151grn hp cast projectiles at a fraction of the price of other options...highly reccomended.

Ok thank you for the info. Looking at the other replies, it does look like the strategies are usually Trailboss based. Im new to asking questions on this site, but want to know if its legit to ask about sourcing powders from other members. Or is it likely that everyone won't want to budge on powders anyway?!

MD is right. I persevered with subs for a year. Most of the time they worked out well with good head and neck shots, sometimes they didn't. If I was shooting baited pigs from a stationary position (or something like that), I'd give them another go, but for snap shooting in the bush, you either don't take the shot or risk injuring an animal that just walks off. Not for me. Your experience may vary.
