Yes, it is. There's a very big difference in hunting range (humane killing distance) between subs and supers. For me, my max distance would be 130 yards or so on a game animal.There is a such a thing as too low of a velocity for sub's ; ) FYI: I'm using a 4x shotgun scope with a diamond reticle. Top of the diamond is zero at 60-65 yards. Center cross hair is good at 100 and the bottom of the diamond is roughly 130 yards. It makes for a real fast sight picture (hold).
As I was finishing up my range session, I had two shots left in my ammo box. I decided to take a crack out to 300 yards (swinging steel target) with the 395's at 1065 fps. It'll humble you if you've never tried it. With my oldest on the spotting scope, I held roughly eight feet high and about one foot to left (wind hold). My first shot was directly under the steel about a foot or so. I quickly chambered the second round and thought I knew right where to hold to connect but to my surprise the wind let up and I missed the call hitting left a couple inches but my elevation was right on. It still put a smile on my face : ) You should see the vapor trail these big ole buggers put off as they come down from the heavens HA HA HA
