Can You Hunt With Subsonic Ammo
This "Smithbusters" episode from Brownells investigates the effectiveness of subsonic ammunition for hunting. Hosts Steven and Caleb test Hornady's 250-grain Sub-X .350 Legend rounds against ballistic gel at 25 yards. They compare its performance to a full-power load and conclude that properly designed subsonic ammunition, like the Sub-X, can reliably expand and provide adequate penetration for hunting medium game like deer, even at slower velocities.
