Have any of you guys perfected a subsonic load for these?
Also looking for a good hunting load.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried the search and was unsuccessful.

308 16" is what I'm looking for right now
.223 16" would also be helpful, I just don't now about trying subsonic with it.

Thanks for the info armorpl8
