    Thanks for the tips, I'd be keen to hear more on the subsonic side of things and any experimenting you (or others) have done?

    I've been down the Whisper road before about 6 years ago and found similar findings, i.e no real bullet expansion on the 240SMK's so animals reacted as if being hit by an arrow and ran away to bleed to death. This was no big deal, I'd just sit down after the shot and give them time (5 minutes) to go into shock and die. Usually I'd find them only 20-50m away DOA after that time, but if you immediately chased them they could go hundreds of meters.

    However I was kind of hoping that with the popularity of subsonic cals the projectiles may have advanced or people had tried different things to get better results?

    If anyone reading this has got any tips or tricks I'd be keen to hear them?
