Some heads do expand. For the rest, you get a good width of razor cutting that is much wider than a 30 cal bullet. Arrows wound by cutting, a completely different dynamic than bullets.
Grumulkin said:3. Some people bitch because bullets expand too much.
I have seen people complain about bullets that come apart in an animal, which is usually a case of using the wrong bullet for the job, but I've never seen anyone complain about a bullet expanding too much.
Grumulkin said:4. Some say magnums shoot bullets so fast they "zip right through doing very little damage."
5. Bullets used by our military aren't designed to expand. Yes, I know, some say that the idea is that it's more effective to wound than kill which is a bunch of horse feces.
Military rifles and super fast magnums have another wounding characteristic that slow subsonic bullets don't have, hydrostatic shock. It's why you pour some deer out of their chest cavity.
Grumulkin said:6. Hundreds of deer have been taken with round lead balls that weren't designed to expand.
Many of which were .50 to .68 caliber, which in and of itself increases the lethality of the projectile.
You bring up a lot of issue not really pertinent to the particulars of the subsonic 300 BLK.
