Favorite bullet for supersonic hunting?

[A62Rambler]

What are your favorite bullets for deer hunting in the 300-221 with supersonic bullets. Just curious to see what people are using.

Another consideration is the Sierra 125g 30-30 bullet #2020.
I get about 1 1/2" groups w/18.4g of H110 @ 2150 fps.
I hunt hogs & Sierra recommended these bullets as we're shooting about 30-30 velocities & these will open up, stay together & penetrate.
Not as accurate or flat shooting as the others but a good option for "heavier/thicker" animals.

I think the Barnes *tipped* triple shock is the one you mean, but that only comes in 130gr and up.

I have not shot any animals with them yet, but the 110 Vmax make a nice slug in my test media (jugs). It will be the first one I'll test.

Cav Scout,
You are correct. I didn't even notice that I put it as a 125g bullet. It should read 130g. Botched that one.

For large deer I would consider bullets in the 150 to 180 gr weight. I also think that some of the Berger bullets in the 110 -180 gr range would also make this list.

It is such a problem.... so many bullets to choose from.

I did see this, they shoot some bullets at 300 whisper velocity. Barnes did not expand as much as I would like:
Bullet Shoot Out

Favorite for me is the 155 gr. Hornady Amax. Was getting 1950 fps out of a 16" 1/8 twist barrel using chopped 223 cases. Two shots two deer that didn't make it 30 yds. One at 45 yds, one at 217 yds - still got the tip to expand on the long shot.

C'est pour quoi faire ce programme?

Time for a new poll I think. Can we set one up for the favorite bullet for subsonic hunting?

240 SMK
220 SMK
200 Lapua subsonic

Need another three to choose from....

208 A-Max
