[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 989331, member: 8873"] The problem I have seen with running sub loads is the velocity spreads and accuracy. I have shot out to 400 yards with my sub/suppressed gun. Mine is a .510 caliber and with the 750 Amax with a G1 BC of about 1.0 it only loses 100 fps velocity out to aroud 600 yards. I have hunted with it but with Lehigh Defense subsonic fracturing bullets. Shot several animals last year and all were bang flops out to 200 yards, only without the dramatic bang. They claim expansion/fragmentation down to 750 fps with a BC of .884. That would make my rifle deadly way out there, but I believe the BC number to be quite inflated. I also have 40 MOA built into the mount and rings so as to have plenty of "up" adjustment. The trajectory is quite dramatic at extended range as you can imagine. I am thinking about buying some in .30 caliber to load in my 308 for my daughter to hunt with, but she shoots full power loads just fine. Since I get .308 ammo basically for nothing I don't think I should mess with it. It has a 20" threaded barrel and she likes to hunt with the suppressor attached. [/QUOTE]
