Hello, Anyone have any suggestion on good subsonic ammo. Duty use for a Rem 700 with a YHM.

Thanks
 
Re: 308 Subsonic ammo

I doubt reloading is an option for duty use.

I know Corbon makes a subsonic load, I've not shot it but I bet it's pretty good, if their other ammo is any indication.

Re: 308 Subsonic ammo

the lapua 200grn subsonics work nicely, but what twist is youre barrel? also as above corbon makes a sub load, and if they answer the phone EBR-engel ballistic research produces some nice subsonic loads.

Don't waste your time on the 308 if you want to go subsonic with the 30 caliber,,, build a 300 Whisper.

Might not be an option since it's a duty rifle and duty work.
 
Re: 308 Subsonic ammo

Lapua subs are very good but will may not be stable on a factory 1:12 Rem barrel...EBR makes decent ammo that will work just fine in that twist...
 
Re: 308 Subsonic ammo


I have killed more deer than I can remember with EBR subsonics. They are a little slow, about 900 fps in an 18", but they expand unlike other .308 subsonic rounds. I am referring to the Precision Bonded not the Thumper.
 
Re: 308 Subsonic ammo

Thanks for all that replied. It is my SWAT rifle and I can not change. I will try the EBR.

Can someone list the email or phone number.

Thanks,

It drops 3-4" at 100 yards vs. supersonic ammo.

It'd prolly bounce off Haji if he's wearing a thick sweatshirt.
