Methodical load development by Discreet Ballistics has created a system which will minimize point of impact shift allowing the shooter greater confidence when it’s time to hunt. The Discreet Ballistics’ two load system was conceived so that the shooter of subsonic ammunition can practice with a less costly Target load, and hunt with a premium load utilizing the Selous Machined Expander.

Hunting Loads utilize the Selous Machined Expander 188gr solid copper projectile which expands to over three times its original diameter upon entering fluidĮffective range is usually within 75-100 yards due to dramatic bullet drop past 100yds – Muzzle velocity is typically between 900-1050fps depending on the barrel. Barring unforeseen shortages, the PPR for these two rounds when bought in bulk can be in excess of 10 cents per round cheaper than buying non-bulk. Industry leading seating depth consistency. 223 and 5.56 is much lower than many other rounds due to their popularity. Powder charges consistent to within 0.1 grain Utilizes brand new Jagemann Brass with our headstamp (Apex Subsonic) Discreet Ballistics gives its customers the option of choosing these loads optimized for either 16″ barrels or 5-11” barrels and bolt action rifles.

This projectile was designed using state-of-the-art ballistics modeling software to maximize stability at subsonic velocities. 300blk supers, can, cerakote, optics, etc etc.The Discreet Ballistics 300 AAC Blackout 188gr Selous Machined Expander is a subsonic hunting load that incorporates a machined copper 30 Cal projectile (the Selous bullet) which expands at subsonic velocities above 750 feet per second.

Even if your 100% in the right, you can still have to defend yourself in civil court that can become an expensive, time consuming quagmire. The legal fallout would be my #2 concern after surviving the situation. Unusual ammunition can be used against you (those fragmenting projectiles that leave lots of little tines that break away on impact, for example). They have nothing to stand on when the weapon was a production handgun using "police" ammo (I suggest Speer gold dot simply because it's exactly what a large number of Police Departments use). Does it make sense? Of course not, but reality is reality. Often this is used to make a case that the gun was modified to be "more dangerous/more lethal" and drags the legal situation out. When you inevitably end up in civil court defending yourself against a wrongful death charge from the family, it's much easier to defend with a production off-the-shelf completely stock handgun than it is a custom built rifle with a bunch of attachments. If you find yourself in a situation where it's life or death, a little bit of my hearing is not a concern. Indoors a rifle is kinda clumsy/unweildy when you need to feel your way around in the dark, stay quiet, and operate door knobs, locks, etc. 300blk is a good woods gun cartridge or a coyote/trail gun. My $0.02 would be a handgun, but you do you. If you're not worried about over penetration and hitting the neighbors or family members in adjacent rooms, then absolutely shoot supers. Honestly, 12g if you're in a residential area. This article is far and away the best I’ve seen to date, hope it helps you decide. It still, though, makes enough noise to necessitate hearing. No test is perfect, nor are they able to mimic every single factor into the ballistics, so you’re best to choose a definitive testing source and corresponding ballistics report and go with it to make your decision. Subsonic ammunition, traveling at lower-than-normal velocity relative to the caliber, is quieter. As for the best source material to use as your guide on the best ammo for each caliber and load and such, I’d argue you can do no better than this writeup by pew pew tactical. Not that you wouldn’t be potentially adversely affected in the heat of the battle, but that any issues with hearing would be very temporary. After being highly concerned about protecting my hearing up to and during a potential home invasion, I walked back on that thought after getting input from an audiologist setting the record straight by stating hearing loss is caused by BOTH decibel level AND duration of exposure to such high levels over time…….essentially arguing that permanent hearing loss is highly unlikely if not impossible to occur from one incident over a period of a few hours.

Every gun owner likely will have a differing opinion and a consensus around the type of firearm and best round will never happen….too many variables unique to each owners situation and priorities, skill, etc. Was reading on this subject this morning, and after going back and forth between what seemed like the best, came to the conclusion that: 1.
