Thanks Mauser308, yup 270 big case/small bore is great for speed but not so for subsonic then, appreciate you sharing your knowledge thanks!

No poach, just impressed at seeing someone take several deer minutes apart using subsonic (cal not known). Would be nice to be able to not spook any others nearby as much.
Thanks Micky Duck, at least it would be a quiet 7.62x39 :)
Thanks GKP, I'd heard of Trail Boss which is much bulkier than standard powder, but it sounds from what you say like the .270 isn't the ideal calibre to use in subsonic anyway. Cheers!
Thanks Muzza, yes I have a nice gunworks over barrel suppressor but she's very loud even with that on (standard ammo). I saw a video recently where a guy took 3 deer out a few minutes apart each one...
ouch, doesn't bear thinking of!
Thanks Cordite, I had heard of Trail Boss as a safe powder option, didn't know if it would be any good with the case combination, the .270 case being relatively large capacity. I'm probably not...
Does anyone have advice on using subsonic .270 ammo, (short range bush hunting deer) and where to buy in NZ?
