[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 2533077, member: 94491"] You bullets are designed for higher impact speeds and pretty much guarantee clean kills no matter of shot placement ( to a degree)-- but there are plenty of successful pistol and subsonic hunters out there too. That's what's so great about the good ol us of a --- lots of options for all the different opinions of the multitude of people. :-) I hunt with your hh and ahh bullets in over 1/2 dozen cartridges. I'm intrigued by your new 450 bullet/design-- but I'm not opposed to looking at other options either-- that size bullet makes a large hole for sure-- just because another company claims their bullet design opens at a slower speed doesn't mean we would go that low for our own personal preferences Your 1800fps minimum would shut me off at 150 yards with 1650 ft lbs (estimating speeds off of my other handloads)--- 1300fps would put my limit at 300 yards with 850 ft lbs-- for me personally 300/850 is too low for me but I'd prefer somewhere in between as your 1800fps limits me in this cartridge -- your bullet may indeed perform at lower speeds but is yet to be tested ( why I'd love to see some real world testing as it always trumps claims) If I were hunting subsonic I would look for a different design than either bullet. Once more testing is done we can have better comparisons and pick which bullet performs best for our hunting preferences and conditions. Hopefully this post doesn't come off as any hh bashing-- thats not its intent. I love seeing more options for the cartridges I use and your bullets have served me well so far and always seem to be in stock. Thanks again for your contribution to handloaders and this great forum.
