First timer messing with subsonic hand loads. Wanting to load a hunting round with maker’s 180 gr Rex bullets. Don’t need to hear .308 vs 300blk argument I have both. Just wanting to mess around with dedicating my Savage bolt action model 10 16” 1/10twist to subs. Only expecting to make shots <100. Would like opinions on amount to start with and type of powder, Primers, seating, any tips and tricks that sub newbie like me might need to know. Any advice appreciated.
 
Should probably move this to the reloading thread. You might get more traction that way
