I plan on shooting my deer out of my archery blind this season, who here has experience shooting 190 sub-x at 20 yds? Is there a diffetent round i should look for or will this suffice?

I have shot quite a few deer with the 120 grain barnes bullets in the 300 blackout and they do quite well

The subX reports seem a little hit or miss, but I'd be fine trying them out.
I'm planning on using 200 gr Makers. They have an excellent reputation for subsonic hunting.

If you wanna stay subsonic I would give Makers subsonic bullets a try before the subx. Accuracy with the subx has always been great but the expansion doesn't even start to compare to the Makers line. If staying subsonic isn't a requirement then I'd go with the barnes 110g supersonic.
I have had good luck with 194 grain Lehigh defense for subs on deer and hogs but prefer the Barnes 110 supersonic.
Another vote for Makers
Nice!
I agree, the subx just doesn't do the damage needed everytime.

Friend if mine killed a 508 lb black bear last year. 208 eldx, 300 black out AR. Head of security at Biltmore estate. Was killing and eating 100lb goats. 75 yards, dropped it. Try to find picture.
I have hand loaded Sierra 125s. They are super sonic of course and they make a mess. The deer we have killed at 80 to 100 yards look like a 308 or 30 06 hit them wound channel wise.
Now we hope to try some subsonic this year. Where do you get the makers bullets? Ammunition or handloaded?

Another vote for the makers 200 Grain subs. My buddy group and I have killed a few deer with them all at 15-75 yds. They did very well, terminally.

Good selections
Heard good things on performance from the Lehie (sp) they are laser cut (4) petal supposedly with excellent reputation of high weight retention and reliable open at subsonic speeds
I've taken more deer than I care to count with a 300BLK out. IF Super 110 Barnes TAC TX, for subsonic the 190 Sub X is not a bad choice. Accuracy is better than the Makers, BUT like others have said here the Makers definitely do more damage on impact. Limit shots to under 100yds, and make a good shot and you'll be just fine. We killed at least 20 does one year from 25-100yds with both bullets and never lost a deer. All 1 shot kills.
