Obviously because its killed 100s of thousands of men that weight more then a deer. I take it very seriously and use the right tool for the job that puts them down without suffering. What i seen to find with the fans of 22 cal deer hunting is those people tend to forget or keep quiet about those failures or blame something else for them. You WILL eventually wound one or not recover one that you couldnt find. Now im guilty and a hypocrite because id did kill two does one year with a 60 grain partition in one of my ar's and it killed them but do it enough times and its going to bite you. Id bet not a single guy here can say his only centerfire rifle is a 223. What you can get away with isnt the same as what is right and id bet if your here you have a gun more suited for deer. If you want to kill deer with an AR get a 300 bo or some other more suited round. People do it just to prove they can and dont much care if a deer suffers.

Im not even a fan of full power 556 for deer hunting. Maybe I am jaded as I have poachers in my area and this is the kind of crap they do with. We should be discouraging such endeavors, not condoning them or providing assistance.

There is no good reason to harvest deer with a 1000 fps 55 gr bullet. It is very unlikely neighbors would be bothered by, or report gunshots during deer season anyway. Using a decent load is more important than keeping the noise down for neighbors. Hunting deer with a subsonic 55 gr bullet is unethical. Since I am the only one who seems bothered. I’m new to casting, not shooting and or hunting. You should give people a little more credit before you make too many assumptions. It actually worked really well with a through and through to the neck. If you had wounded the deer, with only one sub-sonic round, what was your plan?I had started with several that were given to me. Was it loaded with a cast bullet or something like the the Hornady SX? You decided to kill a deer with the one round you had. You said 'I shot an axis deer with a subsonic 223 round I had picked up somewhere.' Think about that statement for a minute.I am left with the impression you had one round, have no idea how it was loaded or who loaded it. 223 cartridges and at a price you can afford.Given the desire to hunt silently at close range, why not get a crossbow? A subsonic 55 gr bullet is not a good choice IMO.Ī wounded deer dying on the property of your nosey neighbors will not be well received.īTW, almost everyone else here is very .not so much. This relatively innocuous cartridge, with its low recoil and report will serve many shooters, new or experienced, young and old with an alternative target and varmint round to the loud supersonic standard. 223 is also the rifle cartridge of choice for military and law enforcement tactical professionals as well as civilians in over 35 states to use with suppressed firearms because the bullet does not reach or exceed the speed of sound and does not create a loud sonic boom as it travels. It is a perfect round for ranchers to dispatch varmints and predators such as coyotes or bobcats that prey on young calves and small livestock, with a reduced chance of scaring larger animals into a stampede. It can be fired on smaller plots of land that are safe for firing handguns but where a miss with a rifle bullet would likely travel beyond the property, or the use of a full powered rifle load would disturb nearby neighbors.

This specialty ammunition is perfect for younger and smaller framed shooters who are learning to shoot their family’s full size hunting rifles, seniors who have become recoil sensitive due to age, persons who only have access to indoor shooting ranges that do not allow high powered rifles because of the noise they generate that echoes off of the walls or fear that the bullet will generate so much power that it will pass through or tear up the backstop. If you are unsure how your rifle will perform please check with the firearm manufacture. This ammunition is not intended for semi auto or full auto rifles. Each round must be manually ejected.ġ6” barrel rifles will function differently with subsonic and super sonic ammo. This ammunition intentionally does not cycle the action, for the ultimate in quiet shooting.
