Thread: Long range for a 300 blackout subsonic

Yes, just got another 2 box's of Lehigh 194gr Max Expansion from ODL, very good killers and large wound channel but have only shot a handful of deer with them, defiantly the best for body shots. In the weekend smacked a spiker and a sow at 85m in the neck and missed the spine but shredded the throat and jugular with them, he only went 30m before running out of oil pressure.
They do cost a bit but well worth it for the meat you get back.

This is bloody great to see.

Hunting with a subsonic at ranges past 50m requires the same principles as LR hunting. The current 'Ethics of LR hunting' debate I see playing out in some hunting magazines lately frustrates me to no end.

You cannot just throw a mandatory range out there and say that anything out past X distance is unethical.

Great to see @tikka taking his kit out and practising with it to gain the confidence and experience to know what is ethical within his limits and then using a pooch to garuntee he finds his animal (not that he needed to, bloody great shot placement there mate!).

Any fool can buy flash kit, it takes discipline and time to get out and practice to 'know your limits' so to speak.
