    My mod 7 308 with dpt can seems to like the 151 gn cast projectiles/ Not 100 % sure they are quite subsonic as I dont have a chrony.
    Tested at 100 yards to start with, and no tumbling.
    I then resighted at 50 yards, given that lack of energy at muzzle is going to restrict the effective killing distance ( imo)

    Top 2 are from a cold clean barrel, having sighted at 100. Adjusted scope and then fired the two touching lower shots, before pulling one to the right.

    Remington mod 7 with 16 inch barrel plus dpt suppressor. 7.8 gn of trailboss pushing a 151 cast projectile as made by shooternz. Exit wound on 18mm mdf suggests it may be a bit of a meat waster
    Shootm and Ground Control like this.
