[QUOTE="Comanche41, post: 2924332, member: 118547"] I can't speak about how they do on deer, but I do shoot a lot of them. Just bought another 500. I will use them on hogs when they come back on my place. Check over at 300blktalk. Also, the Hornady 190 factory loads are designed to run in any gun, like gas guns, and you get the noise and all that goes with it. I suspect that you would get better expansion out of the Makers or some of the other very expensive subsonic bullets. I have settled on the 190s for most of my shooting. I believe that the biggest problem with subsonic hunting is that most shooters don't shoot enough to know how to range the target and know the trajectory of their bullet at any given range. You've got to shoot...A LOT. 10 or 15 yards makes a big difference in the POI. You also have to have very consistent loads, meaning single digit SDs. The price of the Hornadys compared to the Makers allows me to do the necessary shooting. I've shot hundreds of rounds working up loads. I shoot a bolt gun. My 190 load is X grains of Unique (HP-38 is my backup). That gives me an average of 993 fps MV, single digit SDs, NO occasional supersonics, and MOA or better accuracy out to 200 yds. Zeroed at 100 yds, there is 34" of drop at 200 yds. Now I have to fill in the gaps at different ranges. [/QUOTE]
