Anyone hunting subsonics for hog?

[JimFromTN]

I have been contemplating setting something up but most subsonic ammo does not seem like a very good option unless hunting under 50 yds. Seems like the best choice is either 450 bushmaster or 45/70 but still limited to 100yds or less which is the majority of my shots anyway. Looks like 45/70- gets a slight nod but there is a much larger list of options for 450 bushmaster and ammo is slightly cheaper. I already have a 45/70 but would need to be threaded which I won't do. Its a ruger #3.

I've used Lapua subsonic .308 to drop a number of hogs when I was in SC. All shots were within 50 - 75 yards, but were very effective. I forget the ballistics, but after a certain yardage the bullet basically falls off a cliff in terms of drop. I was hunting small clearings in pine forests, so it worked well for me.

I wouldn't hesitate to use subsonic .308 again.

Took a deer this year with my subs and a 300 blackout with 200 grain maker bullets, it worked great on the six point I would love to try them on a hog possibly this summer.
