[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1491036, member: 94491"] You could use subsonic, but the 300 wm at 1050 with a 220grain bullet is still the same as a 300wsm, 308w, or 300bo subsonic--- subsonic means less than the speed of sound so you'll be shooting heavy bullets no faster than 1050-1100fps. The energy is considerably less in subsonic and therefore should be limited to about 100yards or less for ethical kills. Also you either have to go with a non expanding bullet that is designed to flip flop, or find a super expensive subsonic expanding bullet that works below the speed of sound. It can be accomplished but it's silly in such a powerful rifle. As others said, you can still use supersonic ammo through a suppressor to lessen the muzzle blast but it's still quite loud. Also make sure you get a can rated for 300wm if you are going to shoot supers through it. [/QUOTE]
