Know your trajectory out to your max distance and know where you need to put the bullet

Iv shot tons of pigs with mine and Its my favorite rifle by far. think of it like bow hunting but with a rifle, stalk closer and predict where the animal will go next and be ready with an ambush

the subx 300blk kills better than my 44mag subsonic and is far more accurate

the amount of energy you are throwing is pathetic so make sure you dont miss

If you site for 30m with subs you will find the 130s will be point of aim at about 130 which means if you need to make a rushed shot or a shot out to about 150m its a center shoulder shot out that far without thinking

great caliber but be prepaired to walk away from a shot if need be if you are not confident in it doing the business or use a supers

You're talking about head/neck shots right?

I put my shots in the brain given the choice

"head" isnt enough of a distinction Its either an earhole shot from the side or a cross from ear to opposing eye from the front

Yep, just thought I'd clear that up in case anyone thought Sub-X were suitable for classic heart/lung shots as advertised.

This heart shot didn’t help me at all as this pig ran past excuse the vertical knife cut

I imagine deer and goats could be different but I don’t like tracking bleeding animals so wouldn’t take a shoulder shot given the opportunity with a subsonic

300 blackout -just my ten cents worth on that caliber - we tried it or should I say some of our DOC goat cullers tried it - was touted as a great caliber when working with the indicator dogs on goats - the fad and I will call it that lasted an extremely short time ( for most cullers who tried it less than a year) - lack of range and lack of killing power meant it was relegated to rubbish bin very quickly - some very disappointed hunters who had spent money on building up rifles to shoot it ( including one who had converted a sako ) Some tried suppressed 44Mag same result but more about lack of range - deer/goats would pop out on opposite slip 250 yds out - both 300 BLKOUT and 44 mag useless especially considering a suppressed .223 would likely have done the job - 300 blackout to be approached carefully considering its limitations -
