Thread: Hunting with a subsonic (30Apache) rifle

Okay, its going to be a few weeks before I can take another day off work to ''test'' this ammo on some game, so being a little impatient I decided to shoot it into a bucket of water instead. I had the bucket on top of some loose (wet) sawdust from the calf shed (last years calf shit = this years garden mulch). The shot ruptured the sides of the bucket and I had to dig the bullet out of the sawdust after the shot:







The long drill hole did its job, with two out of the four sides shearing completely off. If I were to take the cuts a little further forwards I believe that all four sides would shear off and that is basically what I'd call a success.

Next, to try it on some game to see if this is going to be a winner?
