Thread: .223 Subsonic

Yep, if you can find a very lightly constructed varmint bullet they often make very acceptable sub loads with quite good controlled expansion at the slower speeds. For a while we were using .218 Bee pills in the Hornet - these were varmint type bullets designed for the .218Bee cases with a meaty flat face and a concave with I recall 6 slits in them - aerodynamics of a cinderblock but bloody awesome terminal effects. Fallow dropped like they'd been hit by lightening. Often didn't take a step... Not sure if these are still available though?
