Would like to get your input on the best filler material to use in loading subsonic 308 loads. I have tried c.o.w. and polyester filling. The wheat left the barrel visibly dirty and I am afraid what the polyester residue will be. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

If you absolutely have to use filler instead of Trailboss, try www.pufflon.com.

Filler is 12L14 steel held in place with Loctite 601.
145 gr bullet at 440 fps, sounds like a pellet gun, no suppressor required.
All the expansion required for sub sonic gas escapement is bore volume.
