Winchester Subsonic 308
Has anybody tried any of this? 185 gr. bullet advertised to expand. I picked up a box yesterday but haven't shot any yet.

I finally got to the range to shoot some of these. Shooting them out of a M700 Light Tactical 20" barrel with a Silencerco SpecWar 7.62 can. Report was very quiet, accuracy at 100 yds. was about 1.25" for four shots. I don't know if Winchester offers this bullet only or not. It's a strange looking little bullet with a big hollow point and a heavy looking crimp. Not sure when I might get to try it on game, I'll post if I do.

Why? Because I have a .308 threaded for my can. I will try it on hogs at night in an area that I don't want to make a lot of noise.

Because it can sometimes be advantageous to be quiet when shooting at night. Doesn't warn the rest of your targets, scare livestock and wake up the neighbors Smiler
