As per title. My only criteria is that it is actually subsonic when put through a 16.5" barrel. Cheers.
EDIT: Based on personal experience rather than what the manufacturer/retailer states on their website.

A ex deer culler mate used Remington 220gr OTM and he had head shoots everything until I started reloading Lehigh Defence subsonic ammo for deer and 190gr Sub-X for pests.
I use the sub x stuff for everything from dog food peacocks to humanely dispatching my homekills
my barrel is 12.5 inches tho
roberts 151s are worth the effort to reduce cost
the subx are $2.50 per pop so there is a saving to be had
im yet to have anything need a second shot but most get one anyway
discrete ballistics machined expander selious rounds would be awesome over here but they dont send them outside the usa
Sorry, missed all the replies. Seems like slim pickings. Guess I'll grab whatever is on the shelf and try it.
Its fiddy a box at least for the sub x so if you just want a couple to try a couple im also in Northland and have them on hand
Its so easy and good performing I just use it anyway

The problem with factory Blackout loads is they are optimised for the AR15 platform the gas system bleeds off gas to operate the action
bolt actions use all the gas for velocity unless you reload you are stuck with it, A friend of mine gave up on the Sub loads and just uses standard
high velocity loads his kil rate is still the same if not better gets faster kills than the subsonic loads last trip got 3 deer in under an hour
What supers was he using?Quote:
