![]() ![]() 222R, the odds of nonlethal wounding increased by a factor of 8 and noninstantaneous death increased by a factor of 9. When controlling for distance, for rabbits shot with a. All animal welfare parameters indicated that. We then used regression modeling to measure the effect of projectile type on these welfare parameters while accounting for shooting distance. We used these data to compare 3 animal welfare parameters: wounding rate, duration of suffering, and ballistic injuries. We collected postmortem data via visual inspection from 482 rabbits that were killed. We used a thermal-imaging camera to collect antemortem data from 500 rabbits that were shot at varying distance. 222 Remington® centerfire (.222R 1,433 J) bullets, fired under similar conditions on 3 nights in September 2014, on a livestock grazing property near Broken Hill, New South Wales, southeastern Australia. 22 long rifle rimfire (.22LR 198 J) bullets and high-energy 40-grain. We compared 2 projectiles of different energy profiles: low-energy 40-grain. We examined the role of projectile energy in determining animal welfare outcomes for a typical European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) sharpshooting program. ![]() In wildlife shooting programs, the energy profile of the projectile or bullet (i.e., kinetic energy transferred to the animal), as distinct from caliber (projectile diameter), is an important factor for animal welfare. 30 caliber bullets to be used for wildlife damage management. Additional research should be conducted to further characterize the effectiveness of these bullets and for the potential of subsonic. 30 caliber bullets fired at subsonic velocities are unlikely to instantly or near-instantly incapacitate a medium sized game-animal unless the central nervous system or heart is directly struck. The retarding force, effects on the ballistic gel, and kinetic energy was similar to those seen in 9 mm hollow point bullets. We tested several bullets, including Lehigh Defense Maximum Expansion (LDME) bullets, reported to expand at 878 ft/s (268 m/s), using ballistic gel and calculating retarding forces and kinetic energy. 30 caliber bullets to quickly incapacitate medium-sized game animals, such as white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) and feral swine (Sus scrofa). We conducted a preliminary investigation to determine the potential of subsonic. The availability of these bullets has led to questions about the applicability of this caliber for wildlife damage management. 30 caliber bullets in 300 Whisper and 300 Blackout has led to the development of bullets that will expand at subsonic velocities. ~1500 rounds through it.The resurgence in popularity of subsonic. However, i think that it may not be a good round to use suppressed due to the additional pressure (hotter round + suppressor). Most other brass lands at 4 o'clock in a nice pile.Hornady Superformance lands at 2 o'clock. I have noticed it is the only round that the brass hits off the deflector. I haven't had any trouble with it.very accurate round and has allowed me to shoot just pass 1000 yards with consistent accuracy. Another member forwarded a link to Hornady's commentary on this round out of ARs. Just added a 6.5 creedmoor a month ago, adding a 300 blackout is too expensive when you factor in the divorce it is likely to cost me.īTW, I had been shooting Hornady's superformance. But I wanted something subsonic just to try out at shorter range (under 100 yards). I mostly shoot Federal Gold Medal Match 175s at distance (lucky enough to have a 1000 yard range within an hour.on the East Coast.) I will continue to use the FGMM 175s, including through the suppressor. Thanks.I will probably give the 260 Gr a try then. ![]()
