Anyone tried Maker Bullets' .224 expanding subsonic projectiles?

Looking for something that will expand a bit in coons and/or rabbits.. My barrel is 1/8 so per their recommendation I'd have to use the 55gr vs 77gr bullet.
 
Look at Lehigh Defense's controlled chaos line. I also have Maker 77 grain bullets but prefer to use them in an 18 inch AR, which is tuned for 75 to 77 grain bullets only. The results of Lehigh Defense bullets are amazing. On a whim, I shot one with a controlled chaos 300 blackout. The entrance was almost an inch in diameter and the exit nearly split the coon in half. Makes for an easier gutting process. Link for Lehigh is below. I would try their loaded ammo first and then reload to your liking so that you can be sure everything stabilizes and you get the results you want.
