[QUOTE="WV Hitman, post: 3100637, member: 115208"] FireFly, I also tested bullets in my Whisper for Lehigh Defense. Their original bullets were very poor in performance. After many tries of progressive bullets I found an all copper that performs about as well as the 200 gr. RN. It's the 186 gr. Controlled Chaos. Cool bullet. A large hollow cavity with skives around the nose so 4 pedals separate when stricking game. Inside the cavity is a .17 cal. bullet. So when game is hit there are 6 tracks of damage- 4 from the nose pedals, 1 from the .17 cal. & 1 from the solid base. It performs exactly like the 220 RN-95% INSTANT drops of game. The only "problem" is that it shoots flatter than the 220 RN, so , I.e., of using my mil dot of 150 yd. for the 220 RN, I have to use the 125 yd. mildot for a 150 yd. shot. Obviously, since a suppressed bullet flies like a thrown rock a mil dot scope is MANDATORY for subsonic work. I see guys using regular scopes for their subsonic loads. This is a total waste of time & ammo. I also tried so newer subsonic rounds, i.e., the Horn. 190 gr subsonic. It shot so far off my 220 RNs that I didn't even try to use them on game. Besides, how is it going out perform the Lehigh Chaos & Sierra 220 RN? No contest. JD developed the Whisper using 240 gr. Sierra HPBT Match bullets. These kill by tumbling, leaving ragged exit holes and iffy internal damage. I made my longest subsonic shot with this on a deer at 270 yds. Double shoulder hit with both lungs hit showed very little internal damage. She ran close to 100 yards in an open field (no blood trail) & needed a finisher. Also, I tried 200, 220 gr. HPBTs. They are not long enough to tumble well. The deer I shot with them acted like they were not hit & ran a ways. Luckily, I found them. These bullets ARE NOT proper subsonic bullets for instant killing. Bottom line, use Sierra 220 RN & Lehigh 186 Controlled Chaos & you won't regret it. [/QUOTE]
