![[Linked Image]](https://iili.io/JpYBMCb.md.jpg) Finally got all the parts in and assembled. Been almost a year in the works waiting on the SSK-50 frame and barrel. Hoping to quietly shoot a whitetail or two this fall with it.

If you're shooting subs, I suggest using the right bullets like Maker Rex. The factory Hornady subs suck on animals.

I've actually had decent performance with the Hornady subx in 300blk (handloads) at bow distances.

Will probably stick with supers for deer. Can also shoot .300 BLK in this pistol so may give the Hornady 135 grain FTX ammo a look. Back when I built my first .300 Whisper pistol (on an Encore platform), I killed a bunch of deer with Cor-Bon 150 grain ammo. Believe they used Speer soft point bullets. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/06/full-61160-422285-img_0280.jpeg)

Tac-Tx is what I use for supers and I have never been disappointed with them.

300 Whisper in a Contender is a lot of fun. This was with a 135 FTX. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/06/full-38597-422297-20211231_164902.jpg)

Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

For supers, I load 125gr SST's. Cheap and excellent performance.

Have a few 125 SSTs left, hard to find them now. I do use the 135 FTX, worked great on armadillo and hogs.

If you're shooting subs, I suggest using the right bullets like Maker Rex. The factory Hornady subs suck on animals. These two yearlings would disagree. They dropped in their tracks. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/vmm1dWgV/1000002576.jpg)
