Just some preliminary .308 subsonic load testing I filmed at the range a couple days ago.

The 170gr FP bullets are seated long to kiss the rifling and don't feed well from the magazine at that length due to the massive tip, so I edited out the single-loading of each round through the ejection port. Once I have a set load, I'll start loading them deeper to feed better, as they seemed pretty jump-tolerant in my previous non-suppressed experimentation.
Ultimately I'll probably switch to something in the 190gr class but the local supply had these for cheap and I figured it was a good starting point. The 1:11 Sako twist should even be good into the 200gr region, as the Miller number is pretty high for 180gr RN at 1050fps. I have another batch loaded starting at 9.5gr that I'll be testing tomorrow.
