[QUOTE="WV Hitman, post: 2877901, member: 115208"] My very best friend is JD Jones, inventer of the .300 Blackout. He didn't copyright it, so Rem. made the .300 Blackout (same thing). I've had one since it's beginning. I use only subsonic rounds. JD had me test many bullets & hooked me up with Lehigh Defense & tested their bullets. I've taken about 120 deer, 4 turkeys, 200+ groundhogs & a large coyote at 170 yds. All these with subsonic loads. The Whisper was developed with the Sierra 240 gr. HPBT Match bullet. It killed by tumbling. Worked fair, but I wanted more predictable results. Lesser Sierra HPBT Match bullets did not tumble & gave very poor results. What did work is the Sierra 220 gr. RN. It expands & tumbles).I get 95% instant drops on deer. Killed a heavy 8 point in WV at 240 yds. with this bullet. DRT. Obviously, mildot scopes are required for these subsonic loads that fly like a thrown rock. For Lehigh, I tested their early bullets. Did not work very well. Then they made a 186 gr. Controlled Fracturing bullet. It has a solid base, a nose with 4 skives that open up & split off the bullet, plus a .17 cal. bullet in the open point of the bullet. You have 6 tracks of bullet damage with this. A "certain govt. agency" uses this. It drops deer Very Fast! (THis bullet also is in .30 & .375 cal. without the .17 bullet.
