I missed this thread, Duncan, sorry
I've used 72gn cast lead bullets which would be excellent at low subsonic velocities. I didn't pursue their accuracy potential, but they shoot as well as a .22LR out to 50-60m. I'll make a note to play around with them some more and see how good they can be.
I was shooting 55gn and 58gn bullets subsonically, but because the case is so large, the charges are tiny. They would be fine for head-shooting rabbits to 50m or so, but for better accuracy I settled on a 58gn VMax at 2000fps
