    I tried many combinations of bullets, then I went mad scientist and drilled hollow points in them, cut flutes in the jackets, used cast bullets, tried shooting them loaded backwards....you name it, I tried it....except the Leigh bullets, which someone on this forum generously gave me to try, but by that stage my enthusiasm for this rifle had run out.

    My conclusion was sub sonics will kill, great for head shots if you hit brain, but average at anything else. For lung shots, expect a long find as the animal will run a long way before dying (similar, but slightly further than a bow shot animal, but with way less blood to follow).

    Not trying to burst any bubbles, but in reality - unless you were poaching and didn't want anyone to know you're shooting there (no I'm not condoning), I'd choose a high velocity rifle any day over a sub sonic.
