338 Lapua would work much better than a 5.56, 6.8, 300Blk or anything below it, but it is hard to shoot because of recoil and follow-up shots.Īs for the 300 Blackout, surprisingly it isn't that much less powerful than a 6.8 in supersonic form. Hogs will drop in their tracks with a well placed shot in the neck or head.Īs for supersonic speeds, the bigger the better. At approximately 1050 fps, there is only going to be so much penetration with a bullet that is optimized for penetration and expansion. Even with bullets made to expand at subsonic speeds, a well placed shot is necessary, such as with the Outlaw bullets. If needed I can find the squirrel pictures where I shot several squirrels and they ran about 10-20 yards after being hit with the subsonic 208 a max also.įirst off, subsonic. Ear hole shots are about the only good choice. I have used it it produces pencil sized 30 caliber holes with no hydrostatic shock. The man asked about the 208 gr subsonic a max for hunting. Now keep this post on topic from here on out. And try to at least understand what side of the argument you are on next time. But keep your snide rice paper type comments to your self. Now if you have something productive to add then by all means do so. My concern is people leading new hunters down the wrong path. If you have better optiins but choose for what ever personal reasons to limit yourself as a challenge or whatever that is perfectly fine also. If you do not have better options it will work like stated many places at least its marginaly better than the 5.56. 308 and 6.8spc.Īnd that's why it sits in the safe I have better options. After using it super and subsonic it fell way short of my past results with the. I bought the 300 blackout with high hopes and fell for the hysteria surrounding it. Have used a variety of bullets and loads, from subsonic, to factory, to pushing the limit supersonic handloads. I have every caliber listed here and have shot balistic gel, cars, windshields, body armor, and lots of hogs. I have been fortunate enough in my career choice to play with lots of balistic gel and bullets which is great and very informative, but even with that info nothing beats shooting live targets almost every week. You are the one arguing for using a lesser caliber because you take "well placed shots" I am the one arguing for the caliber that I can shoot a hog in the rear running away and still kill or at least disable him. Pruhdlr I think you may be confused here.
