Thread: Subsonic 308

Surely something along the lines of an upscaled .22lr hollow point projectile would be as effective as anything else!
At subsonic impact speeds, fragmentation of bullets is unlikely and certainly unpredictable, even if bone is hit.
A cast lead projectile, with a hollow point, designed to expand at low speeds in .30 cal is going to make a big wound and with enough weight, will still get good penetration.
I've recovered .22lr bullets that have expanded to around .45 diameter so a .30 cal of the same design is going to be pretty effective!
