It is supposed to feed perfectly from a Mag, the others listed are not ideal in this regard.

If you can find them somewhere, I would import them for the forum members.

Regarding deer legal rounds that are subsonic,
In Scotland (gods country btw) this is not possible despite energies as all rounds must be fasdter than 2450fps.
In England it could be possible in the following circumstance.
410 gr bullet travelling at 1050fps gives 1003lbs of muzzle energy (legal for MJ and CWD)
700gr bullet travelling at 1050fps gives 1713lbs of muzzle energy (ok for all)
Subsonic .50 cal deer shooting anyone?
This math was done quickly back of a fag packet (actually a beer mat), perhaps someone could check this.

Get some Trail boss (great bulky powder which is ideal for subsonic loads, another is Tin Star).
Use about 10.5 gr in Lapua Brass behind a 175 SMK.
If possible shoot at 25 yards WITHOUT THE SUPPRESSOR. You are looking for round holes and a subsonic speed.
Shoot again at 50 yards.
Finally shoot again at 100 yards.
If all show round holes and subsonic speeds try the suppressor on and you are away.
Remember with subsonics its a little like normal reloading in reverse, you start a little higher (although still a safe load) and work down.
With some work you can get to about 1moa.
We have had great expereince with this out to 400 yards.
