Yep. Bushnell elite 4500 on my 308. I zero at 100 with 168gr fiocchi exacta then dial up 8moa to zero at 25 for the subs. It makes for a good day out. Sent from my ELE-L09 using Tapatalk

You will probably find that closer to 10 grains is sub sonic for an over 200 gr projectile. Just have a play around, that's what reloading is all about.
