For me hunting ranges can range from 25yds all the way out to 200yds where I draw the line at using sub loads on game. Once past 100yds bullet drop is a real issue so a range finder is a must!
A bullet that would still give a nice Mushroom at 200yds would be excellent.

I still can't believe no body else is posting here for recommendations to give richard some help on bullet design!!!! Come on someone is here trying to help..
I'm sure plenty of people have read these posts!

I shipped the bullets today.I would think about 12 working days BUT sometimes I think canada post uses a horse and a fat clydsdale at that!!!!!! This really doesn't make sense to me,but to deliver to FortShaw Montana usually takes 18 days,I can drive there in 10 hours!!! I can ship to texas faster. Thanks for the info and imput on the bullets,

I think the first step is have patrick shoot these into the same media and test for expansion.If it what is wanted,and I would like as many opinions as possible after he puts pics up,great,then either go with a tapered jacket where the shank section is heavier for a mushroom,or start looking at a hollow punch/ jacket seraterto make it more fragile. I would really like to do it right the first time but I will be the first to admit that I have never had to play with velocities this low,so again,this is a new field and the worst part is I don't have a whisper to do the trials with...... YET!!!!! Are there any opinions on a ssk barrel or bull berry on a encore frame??????
thanks

There is subsonic load data for a .308 on this board.
7.62x39 will work also although the bore is a couple thousands larger.

Oh, and there is a 7mm Whisper also. http://www.300whisper.com/sskwhisper.html

Stay warm up there,

Bulletsmith, I would look at SSK. JD Jones is the designer of the Whisper and SSK is his company. If anybody knows the round he does.

I will be looking for the bullets. When they get here I'll take measurements, detail my load workup and document the results.

You may want to look over at Silencertests.com also. I was just directed to their site the other day and some of those guys are experimenting with subsonic .308.
