Agreed Midnitemo shot placement has to be exact, I've always liked the .22 mag, a little bit more oomph without a loud sonic crack, not many about though.

Most 22Mag ammo is well supersonic, so you will get the "crack". I seem to remember a hunting friend found some 60gr sub-sonic ammo somewhere, but it was innacurate. The best 22LR sub sonic ammo in my rifle is Winchester Super-X hollow point, it groups about 1/2" - 3/4" at 50 yds. In the field the biggest problem is reading the range and the wind accurately, a tiny difference in accuracy potential between different brands of ammo is not that significant.

I've been trying to develop a sub-sonic load for 308 but not very successfully yet, despite my rifle having a 1-10" twist.
