    This is the exact reason I've dropped some additional dollars on the CCI Subsonic segmented rounds. The segments don't fly too far / well, after hitting something compared to a 40gn lump of lead.

    Seems to be a very rifle specific thing. I went through most brands until I found one my rifle really liked. CCI came out on top, followed closely by Winchester. Not surprisingly, the Remington ammo was the worst.
