The Sub-X line? I've been looking for it in .300 since SHOT but nobody has it in stock. Supposedly, only ammunition will be available, then maybe projectiles. An expanding subsonic bullet with a rifle BC at $1.10/rd should be pretty competitive though.

And if it expands down to 900fps? Even with a bad BC, that still gets you way out past where you'd ever use a subsonic... I'm guesstimating about 400yds using the BC of a Remington flatbase as a guess.
