300 Whisper Subsonic Deer Load?

Anyone have a load for a 300 whisper that would be subsonic and provide adequate bullet expansion to use for short range on deer sized game. Thanks

None of the subsonic loads offer expansion.. you would be much better served with supersonic ballistic tipped round for this purpose...

Surely there is something out there. Looking for short range less than 100 yards. Thanks

I have heard good things about the Hornday 220gr RN bullet. I have not tried it yet but there is someone that will be along soon.

Check on the current posts about the 220 RN. The key to subsonic success is tumbling the bullet end over end after a few inches to produce a 1.5 inch plus tear and blood sign.
