am new to supressed shooting, I enjoy sending lots of cast lyman 311291 bullets down range. lots of hogs in the area. does anyone have good sub-sonic load data for that bullet they would share ! Any other useful info would be great. I have 8lbs of WST that is just sitting there,dont know if anyone has tried it. saw recent report on 308win with 5.0gr of clays and 200gr jacketed worked very well.thanks,Tom
 
If your talking about .308 I run two different loads using the Lyman 311332BV w/a Hornady gas check. 7.0 grs of clays, WLR primer LC, R-P, or win case seem to make no difference, the other load is same, same except w/ 6.5 grs of 700X, OAL 2.750 shoots moa or better to 400yds but they have to be loaded perfect to be consistent. I load many and just throw the charge and don't worry about the necks and they do 2-2.5 moa w/o issue. When loading for a Sub-match I spend the time to do it right, pays off big time when shooting the harder shots.
 
thanx gunfighter,not familiar w/311332bv but will research. was just hoping to find data for the 311291 bullet using some of the WST or greendot that I have so much of.(13lbs). I dont turn necks,neck size only after full power fire-form.am getting 1.5moa with 5.0 unique,cci,horn brass. dont have cronograph or cyclone yet(E-file is down). unique is hard to find in my area. am shooting savage hog-hunter in 308,VERY accurate when I do my part! suprizingly, i can find all the wheel weights and linotype i need,go figure, anyway thanx again.
