Hi there and welcome!DICKERA wrote:Hey guys I'm a newbie here. I just wanted to say that this is a great thread just what I was looking for. My primary use for this weapon will be for suppressed whitetail hunting in MI. So some of you may have seen my premature post asking about expanding subsonic factory loaded ammunition.
I have purchased some of the Alexander 180g HP and also 180g TMJ. They said on the website that ballistics of the TMJ will be the same as the HP, that is why I purchased both. I plan to test to confirm that ballistics do match and I hope they do, so that I can sight and range shoot with the TMJ. I hope the ammo is as good as they say it is, it would be nice since it is the cheapest factory loads that offer expansion that I have found.
I will post my finding as to if ballistics match and how well I think the bullet expands in case anyone is interested in A.A. 180gHP.
It's cool to hear about new expanding 300BLK subsonic ammo. I hope it works out.
Word to the wise, be sure to read up, especially the 3rd post at the beginning of this thread and all the links in it (especially the last one hehe).
Also get plenty of trigger time at various distances. 300BLK sub hunting is a challenge with shot placement as an animal moves around on you. Be sure you can hit at 50, 75, 90, 100, and 110 yd distances with 100% confidence. This is no joke!!!
If you prepare well then you will enjoy the challenge, if not you will likely be very disappointed with the outcome. Best of luck!
