Where's the piggiez?
Has anyone shot a hog with a (300blk) 208 amax subsonic round? Any thoughts, advice, details?
Thanks!
Thanks!
I have and it took six well placed shots all pencil holed through but he eventually died. Fun for shooting targets that is about it. The blackout is a marginal step up from the 5.56 in my opinion and mine stays in the safe.Has anyone shot a hog with a (300blk) 208 amax subsonic round? Any thoughts, advice, details?

Watch out .... some will poo-poo the 300BLK and have never owned one,shot one,or have ANY expierance hunting with one,and killing deer or hogs with one.
ANY bullet run subsonic out of ANY chambering is a bad choice(IMO)for hunting. While the bullet is or could be heavy for caliber,the sub speed(usually about 1050fps)will not generate very much hydrostatic shock. It will not set up a shock wave as it passes thru the animal. It is akin to sticking the animal with a ice pick.
There are much better choices to use for hunting in the 300BLK. Choices that will quite easily take a hog of most any size if: 1. it is of the proper construction 2. it is moving fast enough 3. it is put on the animal at the right place AND 4. the distance is not too great(bullet speed).
Hunt with that 300BLK,be confident that it WILL take a hog or deer. Do your research into bullets,distances,and hog/deer anatomy. It will kill adaquately. --- pruhdlr
