Thread: You told me so! (subsonic centrefire)

Had another hunt last week on reds using 190gr Sub-X handloads in my blackout and not impressed at all in performance, solid hits and run off like it was hit with a fmj. Needed to empty a 3 round mag on him and then loaded another mag in using a 125gr sst supersonic in the neck to drop him. I shot another stag at 20m while we were having lunch and lost it spent 2 hours try to track it but the dog was tracking live deer instead and we got onto 4 more deer in that 2 hours, what a debacle
Will only use Lehigh Defence subsonics on body shot deer from now on.

This stag was lung hit with a Lehigh Defence 168gr CF, he was hit solid and wobbling around only went 20m and stopped so I gave him another to drop him on the spot. The great thing about 30 cal subs is they are really quite and as we were boning the deer a couple of goats turned up unaware of what happened minutes before.




This stag was hit with a Sub-X that looked like he wasn’t hit all and dropped with a super in the neck.
I haven’t done a autopsy with theses bullets yet to many wasps around, wrong time of year. The wasps were already on the backstraps as I was boning it out.
