    been a few threads on hunting with subs. I think that the consensis is that only to about 50 mtr and even then you need to know your bullet drops, Given the lack of shock and internal damage they do you really need to be hitting, head, spine or CNS if you need a rapid kill shot. A subsonic through the lungs will kill but not neccesseraly fast.

    If you are looking to push your range out but still want something soft shooting that will put a goat down look at some of the light weight loads in 125-130 gr range or some of the reduced recoil ranges. ie Hornady custom lite 125 gr SST at 2675fps, verse 3-3100 fps in a full power load, with a 200 yr zero it 2.3" high at 100 and 10" low at 300 yr.
