There's a lot of threads over in the Rifle section about this latest hyped up flavor of ammo. I'm interested in learning more about it as a hunting round...although i can't hunt suppressed, i could practice suppressed without driving all the game away, which is a plus. However, besides suppression, I'm not convinced that this round can do anything my 7.62x39 AR can't do, except cost more, per practice round.
I don't adhere to Geneva or the Ghent Convention when i hunt, and these rounds are slow enough not to expand, only tumble. So this is my primary concern. There's a wide .308 bullet selection, but bullet design has to be considered on both the weapon-functionality standpoint (cycling; I've heard o-give matters), and at the other end of it's flight. I want DRT, when i do my part.
Anyone using it? Successfully? Or not, for similar concerns?
