Cheers,

I like a light bullet if I'm just making a cheap subsonic plinking load, but for a subsonic hunting load I prefer to throw a bigger rock. Most bullets aren't designed to function at subsonic speeds, unless they're a pistol bullet, even the 100gn HP I doubt will expand at 1000fps. XTP pistol bullets in .44 Mag and .38 Special don't show any expansion for me at subsonic velocities. The VMax is pretty explosive but even those tend to stay together under 1600fps.
