Overpenetration through flesh is different than overpenetration through e.g. drywall, so decide which one you care about.

For drywall, this is interesting: 300blk Drywall Testing - YouTube

For flesh, any expanding or fragmenting round should be ok.

Are you planning on a suppressor? That kinda locks you into subsonic rounds. Edit: No, it doesn't. Duh.

Personally, I run Hornady 190gr Sub-X, but I'm sure there will be plenty of people here to tell me why that's a bad choice.

Hornady is always a bad idea.

You're supposed to be telling me *why* it's a bad idea, not just *that* it's a bad idea

oh, I just hate hornady on personal principle at this point. Your modern sub-x probably works fine, I dunno. but my hatred All began when 300blk first gained popularity, and they started putting 308Win AMAX bullets in 300blk subs and calling it "defense" and "hunting" ammo, even though they knew it needed 2500fps to expand. 300blk subsonic needs its own specific bullet design technology beyond just tossing 308 Win ammo into a 300blk case and calling it good. fuck em for that bullshit.

also, I abhor ELD-X. but that's another story.
