    CCI subs are also hollow point which helps, sub sonic helps keeping the noise down esp when shooting in paddocks so not to scare everything else too much, and easier on the ears of the shooter. I had more trouble with CCI SV solids punching straight through but the HP stopped the rabbits in their tracks, for me.
