Thanks Alleycat. I hadn't seen those.

Here's the link to the Lehigh .308 bullets:

The controlled fracturing subsonic with a .17 payload bullet for enhanced fracturing looks very interesting for maximizing subsonic takedown damage.

got my bullets and was going to test them today with a 30grn berger in them, but not sure where to start with powder, i like to use H110 but since its a odd weight bullets i am a bit nervous where to start. they weigh 177 now . any ideas?

I'd start @ 8grs of H-110 and tickle it from there....even though its not my favorite powder:smile:

What powder do you like?

V V N -110 for now.

I'm experimenting with something much faster (and quieter)...too little data for the 300 just now.

Interesting

I wonder how well they shoot and expand.

Luckily my rifle can cycle 168-175s without any issues.

I'm not so sure these would feed from a mag very well though.

I have loaded and shot over 100 of the 308 subsonic with a 20 gr. Berger .17 in the cavity and have had good success on deer.
I was able to locate 3 of the recoverable bullets this season and have included a picture (with the penny for size reference) as you can see, one shed all 3 petals and the other 2 lost 3 of the 4.

My loads were over 8.6gr. Lil'Gun with Magnum Small Rifle primers-CCI.
All were shot in a bolt action with 16 1/2' heavy barrel and suppressor.
The velocity is borderline sub/supersonic as one in 3 will crack the sound barrier but accuracy is so good that I live with it.
Does not seem to spook the deer though I must say we have large numbers of stupid deer around here.
