[QUOTE="shootski, post: 2385909, member: 106014"] Buck, Forget about "modern" bullets that are designed to expand; they usually don't at subsonic speeds. Lead MUSHROOMS giving you the wound channel that does the job. I shoot a .30 caliber airgun 24" 1:10 barrel (Quackenbushairguns.com) just into the transonic range with DEAD SOFT LEAD bullets (hollow point or flat point [Large Meplat for caliber] from 118 to 170 grain) from [URL]https://hunters-supply.com/index.php[/URL] and have taken multiple whitetails up to 350 lbs (on the hoof) with no problems. Shot placement in the vitals is the key. I use a Donny FL silencer [URL]https://donnyfl.com/products/2-x-10-5-inches-emperor-v3[/URL] with the 6" extender; i have had a herd just stand pat puzzled (on a regulated urban cull) by why some of them them were dropping one by one. Maybe that was because they are dumb to hunting pressure but I think they really didn't hear the report from 120 yards away. Talk to the folks at Hunters Supply and read the hunting stories of folk that do it with COLDARMS on the Quackenbush site. [/QUOTE]
