Does anybody have any new recipes for reloading 308 subsonics. Factory loads getting to expensive. Looking at reloading my own. Any suggestions that anyone has had luck with. I am shooting DPMS LR 308 with 24" bull and a 8" can by sound tech.

You've probably got a 10 twist barrel in that rifle. My recipe is 10.0 grains of Trailboss powder behind a Hornady 180 gr round nose bullet in Federal cases & primer. This gives me 1015 fps from an 18" Encore barrel.
For your barrel maybe 10.5 grains of Trailboss would do the trick. As always start at a safe charge and work your way down and inspect for stuck bullets after each shot.
