Try the Reload Bulletin Board as they have some entries mentioning this round as used for hunting and a couple suggestions for the .338 version as well. However this board seems to have a larger input on the subject.
There is also a mad Finn who runs a first rate site in English and can provide lots of info on lead rounds and lead rounds in sub sonic apps. He notes the reversed or teardrop round was proposed for "low and slow" loadings as far back as 1888. That might have been a Swedish discovery. He gives a good account of the use of lead alloys, barrel length, etc, use of silencers, etc. Found it - P.T. Kekkonen at gunwriters.com or thereabouts.
If you want to get into the lead bullet subculture try LBT under a lead bullet Google search. They can give you song and story and sell precision dies.
SSK Industries in Ohio is the devloper of this family of rounds and can give you some info on short range hunting applications. However with a suppressor you might be able to reduce the sound to an acceptable level as far as muzzle blast goes. A sonic crack is one thing but people equate noise with muzzle blast.
Silencers are persecuted in Illinois. Our lordship Chicago Mayor Daley and his blow dried governer ally have been dealt setbacks with pro-gun laws being passed over a veto and with the mayor's recent anti-gun efforts going down to defeat or stalemate by his own party members, it is time to flex our muscles in the interests of the environment. We need silcencers! Would get the whiny effeminized suburban fled-the-city twits excited but maybe they would go along with noise reduction.
The whole silencer ban is pretty stupid and goes back to 1934 era gangland criminal legislation. Those never had serious or broad use in crime but neither were they sold like pop corn at gun shops. So when the $200 transfer tax was passed at the Federal level no one said much about it.
