.308 Subsonic loads???

[stefan73]

I have a suppressor on wait and was wondering what people are using for loading subsonic ammunition?? I'm just wondering what works and what to watch out for since I have no data on subsonic loads.
Any advice is appreciated (I tried using the search and it seemed to be having some issues).

Thanks,
Stefan

Depends on your twist rate in the rifle.

There's a large thread in the reloading section for Subsonic loads only..

All testing you're doing with them should be approached WITHOUT A CAN until you're certain that the rounds are coming out stable. Only then do you put a suppressor on the nose of the rifle.

A friend of mine got ahold of some stuff that AMU has been working with and it's eery quiet. 210 SMK with 10.5gr Trailboss, unknown primer, LC brass, out of a 10tw barrel in 308.

A good point here. Look for oblong bullet holes. If the holes are not circular, your tumbling bullet could lead to a baffle strike and lots and lots of cursing, just in case you didn't already know that.

The search here defaults to "or" between keywords.

Fix that by putting a plus sign in front of EVERY required word.

There's a whole subsonic thread here, I even posted to it last week, but I'm too stinkin' lazy to link to it tonight. Trying to get car parts listed on e-Gay...
