Best bullets to load subsonic for 300blackout

[sawzall]

NOE 311-242-FN CAST FROM 50:50 wheel weight/pure lead, powder coated and loaded to 1000-1050 fps. Hits like a freight train

Why would you choose such a light bullet for subsonic?

If you have to limit speeds to 1050 -- a 195-220 grain subsonic specific bullet would definitely hold more energy-- and some of those heavies will reliably expand down to 600fps if you were so inclined

Went back and looked at my earlier post. I forgot to put exclamation mark after SST. My bad for not being clear on my statement!

May take a look at Berry's Bullets. No experience hunting with them, but great for target. It's a spire point. Available in 200 and 220 varietals

Another vouch for the Maker's Rex 200gr...

I'd hunt anything with these that you would hunt with a broadhead. Max range 150 yards and IIRC, with my load at 1050fps I zeroed at 75 yards and that gave a point blank range of 100 yards.

The cavity back bullet says expansion down to 600fps. I have not shot them that slow yet

Thanks

If you want to go cheapish I used Hornady 220gr roundnose and drilled a cavity down to the cannelure. In my Ruger American they were super accurate and killed deer at 100 or under. If commercial I'd go with the Lehigh.

Ive loaded up some of the 190 sub-x and had a 10 shot group at 75 yards that would fit in a golf ball sized circle. Currently loading with 12.5 grains CFE BLK. Super quiet with my suppressor and getting consistent 1035 fps out of them. Thats going to be plenty accurate for me, and I'm looking forward to using it on critters this next fall.

Berrys makes great plated lead bullets for blaster ammo - but for expansion the Makers are still much better, I wouldn't shoot a Berrys into an animal.

But I do shoot the heck out of Berrys in 300 BLK into targets through, at about 1/3rd of the cost of Makers they're what I use for else other than animals - I've made 500 yard subsonic hits with them, and I prefer them over the 109 Sub-X and 220 SMK.

Hunting or target?
If hunting- what animal and distance.

Probably more hunting, coyote deer I would say 200 yards max.

I can echo what Slick Boy Boo said. If hunting, use the 200 grain Makers bullets. 3 reasons:
1. The bullets shoot very accurately.
2. The bullets have excellent terminal performance on deer sized game.
3. Customer service is excellent. Load data provided with bullets was spot on in the 3 rifles I use makers in.

Do you know what powder they recommend for that bullet?

Whats the cost on the berry's?

Mostly hunting, coyote and deer. No further than 200yrds. More than likey around 100yrds

Typically, your two best powders for heavy, subsonic loads will be H110 and Lil Gun.

Are these the bullets from berry's?
