[QUOTE="Triggered Precision, post: 2924510, member: 127308"] I've killed one whitetail doe and one coyote with the 190 SubX. The doe was a headshot from 25 yards as she fed, the bullet entered between her eyes and exited her neck with an impressive exit wound. The coyote was a broadside shot at 50 yards, the bullet zipped through with very little expansion - I'd guess the thin skin and tiny cross section of this yote wasn't enough to facilitate any expansion. Either way, the shot placement was good and the yote didn't make it 20 yards. I've shot hundreds of these at various mediums and surfaces and wouldn't hesitate to take a deer with a broadside shot out to 100 yards. The importance of good shot placement cannot be overstated with these guys. With the subsonic round, you're not getting the effects of hydrostatic shock like we do with a high velocity rifle round, so we rely on expansion to help with arterial damage and vital organ damage. I think of using these in the same way I use my bow. Get close and make a good shot or don't take the shot at all. As long as you understand the limitations of the SubX and subsonic rounds in general, you're good to go. I shoot the subsonic Maker bullets out of my 375 Raptor. I've yet to kill anything with that round but it sure does seem impressive. [/QUOTE]
