I have a 12" 300 blackout that I will be using suppressed (SDN-6) mainly for hogs.  I have never been hog hunting.  Barrel is 1 in 8, which subsonic ammo will work best for this?  I am assuming either a quick round behind the ear or subsonic expanding.  What would be my best round considering the barrel I have?

       I would not use subsonic on a pig



While subsonic sounds nice and quiet at the range, it's not ideal for hunting. Subtonic's ballistics aren't that great.


The Barnes VOR-TX in 110 or 120gr (Barnes Tac-X bullet), or Remington Hog Hammer (130gr Barnes TSX bullet) would be ideal.

If you're really wanting to use subsonic for hunting, below are a couple rounds that I've heard good things about. I haven't tried either of these but Lehigh Defense sells their bullets for reloading and I'm going to try some of those soon. Neither of these are cheap as loaded ammo.
