[QUOTE="Mike D Texas, post: 2730347, member: 71221"] In my experience you are wasting your time trying to reliably kill animals with subs with anything less than a big bore AR like a 458 Socom, 450 Bushmaster or .50 Beuwolf. Anything smaller just doesn’t have the energy unless you can guarantee head shots every time. I’ve gotten lucky and killed a few hogs at Bowhunting distance with my 300BO and subs but if you get even a marginal shot they will run off. You have to remember shooting a 220-240 grain bullet at 1050fps or less has about the same energy as a hot 45ACP but you don’t have the advantage of a larger frontal diameter nor expansion (with most rifle bullets).
