Subsonic hunting bullets for the 300 BLK ??

[CP]

I’m not seeing much in the way of hunting bullets offered in over the counter subsonic loadings.  Mostly Hornady  A Max, or OTM bullets in the 200g – 220g, none of which is recommended as a hunting load. 

Anyone have any suggestions?

Look at Lehigh they make some subsonic hunting bullets.

This.

300 sub is tricky to hunt with as velocities won't open up most bullet designs. I bought a mold just specifically to modify by adding a big hollow point but alas.... just another in a long string of incomplete projects!

Thanks I found the Lehigh, and a Nosler bullet loaded by Noveske.  But at $40 - $50 a box I’ll probably end up putting something together myself.  At 1000ish fps I’m thinking all lead is going to be as good as anything else.

I've run this mold http://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/product/productId/10055.  It works well right at/under MOA.  We run them with AA#9 powder. 


* Edit to add,  You might be able to find a retailer selling similar size/weight bullets for sale.

Don't waste your money with the Nosler/Noveske load; that bullet is known to perform poorly for hunting.

That last sentence is not accurate at all. There is a huge difference in performance of specialized subsonic bullets vs everything else, whether you're talking cast or jacketed. I say that based on a LOT of testing with the 300.

So, what are you using?

What's the appeal of a subsonic big game round?

I developed my own cast hollow point. That's one advantage of having a machine shop at home.

If I wasn't casting my own, or commercial molds were my only cast bullet options, I'd be using the 194gr Lehigh, no question.
