8.4 seems best at the moment, although I am not certain they are quite subsonic as my hearing is crap anyway. Will test over chrono.
Penetration and expansion are good at 50 yards. Passed through two 30mm blocks of dry pine with ease, and retained a high % of projectile weight, while expanding very well.

8.3 gr lacked penetration and was borderline tumbler.
Love the lack of recoil

You will definitely know when the go subsonic by the noise (or lack of). It is like night and day.

Yep on his range the bullet hitting the target/bank should be the loudest noise.
