What subs are you useing?
I'm useing the Hornady 190's and I'm not impressed. But they are reasonable accurate (1" @ 50 yds)
The S&B 220's are so inaccurate it looks like a shotgun.
And I'm only shooting @ 50 yards.
I'm thinking of useing supers and just silencing the muzzle blast.

I picked up the gun just prior to deer season so I'm hunting with the Barnes 120 gr Blacktip (1.5" @ 100 yards)20191128_225120.jpgthis season. I picked up and shot some the Hornady Sub-X and they're plenty accurate. The Sub-X shot under an inch at 50 yards and I could consistently hit 4" knock downs at 100 yards. Unfortunately every gel test I watched showed poor expansion. I'm going to wind up loading the Maker Rex 200 gr subsonic hunting bullet for sub hunting. I can't trust the Hornady with the results I've seen online.

The Barnes 120 Blacktip out of my 10.5" will expand at 310 yards. My deer hunting shots will be under 200 yards. Zeroed at 50 is zeroed at 100 and less than 9"s low at 200. 20191128_225933.jpg
