That looks to have potential. First shot was the sub sonic, the second two shots where full power loads super sonic.

I'd want to shoot a dozen or so animals before drawing too many conclusions though.

I have shot more than 40 including a few fallows, with 300 black/ whisper ,308 sub and 458 socom.
It is nowhere near as broad experience as tikka, but I start to have an idea of what can be done or not with them.

Pm me if you are interested.

I will happily accept an offer like that from anyone

Subsonic hunting rounds certainly do seem to split opinion! What I'm concluding is that they can be used for hunting under some circumstances, but probably best left to the experienced hunter/reloader.

Spent a few hours flinging subs at paper,balloons and steel yesterday and today. Shot a mix of Hornady 220gr RN, 208gr A-max, 151gr HP cast, Lehigh 168gr CF and the only supersonics 125gr BT, just under 300 for the weeks and 450km driving to the range.

To the testing, the Lehighs 168gr CF are very accurate with multiple first round hits on 4"-5" balloons at different angles from 6 degrees to 48 degrees out to 250m and centre hits on a 10" steel plate at 300m and 400m.

151gr HP cast bullets were so so in accuracy but I would be happy taking a goat deer pig out to 150m as I was getting first round hits on balloons to 160m. I was getting an ES of 22 with ADI AR2205 powder, have been trying different seating depths with little gain. May need to try Trailboss but its accurate enough for bush hunting range.

Thanks to the spammer for bumping this thread.

Are those cast loads subs or supers @tikka ?
I tried to develop a subsonic load with the 151gr cast HPs with 2205 in the Howa I had and it was complete garbage.
Velocity spread in excess of 50fps and groups were at best 3” at 100m.

I’m thinking of trying another 300blk and wondering if a Tikka build might be the better way to go than another Howa.

Subsonics and have got 2 other mates rem 700 300BLK using them too. I use AR2205 powder only and not needed to use anything else.
In the 308win I use Trailboss with the 151gr HP cast.

Dredging up an old one but that's very impressive. I have never shot my subs beyond 100 yards.

Beyond a 100yrds is we’re the fun starts with them :-)
