I have only killed 5 deer. my first 3 were with .308 winchester. My last 2 with subsonic .300 blackout, loaded with 178gr amax at 935 fps. Then the one my daughter took with the .300 blackout. I cannot legally hunt with a suppressor in NC, but the main reason I use the subsonic is none of the shots i have taken a have been more than 50 yds. Another reason is just because I want to prove that it can be done, that it is more about shot placement than anything else. Even without the suppressor it is not that loud. Unless I am hunting a place where I can get a shot more than 200yds I will be shooting subsonic using either my buddies low velocity expanders. or a 200gr or heavier lead or jacketed bullet.
Since I have currently 2 .300 blackout uppers someone will get to use one shooting super sonic, either the same one my daughter did or a 155gr cast bullet going 2000fps. By next year I hope to have a 9 to 10 1/2 inch .300 blkout barrel for my sbr.
Had a buddy last year kill 3 on the last day of the season in less than 15 minutes with a .30-06
