Re: Subsonic bullet accuracy

The problem here is that the regulations are fairly specific for hunting:
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">d. Must use expanding bullets that weigh minimum 70 grains for deer, pronghorn and bear, 85 grains for elk and moose, and have an impact energy (at 100 yards) of 1,000-ft. pounds as rated by manufacturer.
</div></div>
*Note: I may have misread the part about 1000 fpe. If it does apply to deer and pronghorn and then I am nowhere close and makes it a moot point. I'll follow up on that.
Otherwise...
It's the "expanding bullet" part that causes my question. I understand about the Whisper (and likely Blackout) bullets tumbling on impact and creating a much larger wound channel. But the SMK's are not designed to expand and that's what would get me into dutch with the CO DOW.

Never mind, just got off the phone with DOW, they confirmed that the 1000 fpe applies to all of them. Bugger, so much for that idea. </div></div>
If you need 1000 FPE, just hang tight, I have a gun and load coming available real soon that will fill your needs.
