Re: sub loads
rifle powder can be very bad under minimum if not carefull. if under min and the case is laying in the chamber when the primer goes theres likely chance that the powder will almost all ignite at once. make sure when the case is on its side theres enough powder in it to cover all the primer plus some. hope i explained it correct. there is a powder shaped like horse shoes cant think of the name that is good for subsonic loads. it will fill the case almost completly but low velocitys. my buddy uses it to blow out the brass when fire forming.

This question is raises a lot of red flags. I don't know your reloading experience, but just using "9mm" pull down powder is a very bad idea. There are a wide variety of burn rates of powder that can be used in 9mm ammo.
Although there isn't as much load data out there for subs, you still need to use verified load data, especially with limited experience. You didn't even mention what caliber you were looking at. Other factors that you need to consier is barrel length and twist rate.

In this book you can find a entire chapter about it,and overall about the SAFE use and CHOICE of rifle powders for reduced rifle loads_you won't be disappointed_ (cheap,too)

Re: sub loads
I'm guessing from your user name you are looking for .308 sub loads?
Caliber and cartridge make a big difference in what can be recommended. This is not an area for a novice reloader.

Re: sub loads
Are there people who still think detonation with underloads of rifle powder is possible?
We have been searching for the recipe for detonation for decades, and like Bigfoot, it has eluded us.
Great to see there is still hope on SH.

Re: sub loads
Clark-
I've had delayed ignition loads several times with light charges of rifle powders. Click.....full second delay.... bang
SEE ? Perhaps not, but delayed ignition is not something that I'm willing to screw around with like that.
OP- Try this thread

Re: sub loads
bohem,
There is no point in me posting at SH if you are going to make such good posts.
That has been the case for years.
