thanks for the explaination guys. as for the subsonic ammo I guess the military roll would be ok but in sniper or varmint shooting you would lose a great deal of range and energy with that reduction of velocity. But at least you all answered my actual question. also as far as giving away the location of the shooter I guess it would be hard for someone that heard the sonic boom/crack from the bullet to really tell where the shooter was. specially if the shootee was a woodchuck. haha.
