[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 152035, member: 4785"] Hi with thw Whisper shoot the heaviest projectiles possible. their is a diferend pattern to the wound channel when using long subsonic projectiles. The projectiles become unstable on impace and start to tumble inside the animal and cut through like a broad head arrow and make huge cuts through the tissue. A lot of Deer shooters in New Zealand use sub sonic whispers in 300 and 338 for their deer shooting with supressors with great results and they use 300gr MatchKings for the 338's and 240gr MatchKings for the 300's. Your other option is an A Max their jackets are very thin and they will expand well. The choice is yours i would use the 240gr MatchKing but the 208gr A MAx is also an option. The heavier the projectile you are using as a soft point means that they are generaly designed for a heavier calibre so the 220gr soft points will not expand at the low velocities anyway. Stick to the A MAx or MAtchKings. If you hit the animals their will be no ricochets that way and always make sure where your friends are. no one ever tells anyone not to use a 22 long rifle for rabbits and they are the worst of them all.
