Re: Remington 700 AAC-SD
Lapua makes factory subsonic ammo in .308. A google search should help you find who has it for sale.
If you try some let us know the results! I have the same rifle with a suppressor on the way.

Re: Remington 700 AAC-SD
I have the same rifle with an AAC Cyclone can. You will enjoy shooting the subs, very quiet but several inches of drop.I got mine from "Ammunition To Go". They do not always have them available, last time I looked CoreBon was the only brand they carried.

Re: Remington 700 AAC-SD
You should be looking for ammo in the heavier range like 168gr or 175gr.

Re: Remington 700 AAC-SD
ok so a 200grain lapua would not be ideal then.

Re: Remington 700 AAC-SD
If you can find 200gr, that would probably be better actually.

Chull, they are 185gr, sorry. Going to the range tomorrow and will be shooting the AAC-SD. Just put a new SS 5-20 scope on it and am trying to find the right ammo for it.Having good luck with Horaday TAP 168's.

Re: Remington 700 AAC-SD
I know that you asked "beside SW Ammo", but I just wanted to mention that our ammo was intended for this very rifle. Here's Zach's rifle, that we test the subsonics with.
It shoots 190 subs about 3/4- 1 minute.

Oh, no offense taken. Your rifle is an outstanding off-the-shelf rig for subsonic work.
I know that Black Hills and Lapua also load subsonic ammunition also. If you can find them, you should try them out. (especially if you try our side by side lol)

michab, have you had keyholing issues with sub ammo? If so, what manufacturers?

Re: Remington 700 AAC-SD
As long as you are choosing your bullet weight properly for the twist of the barrel, you shouldn't get any keyholing.
As Quiet mentioned, they are going to drop a lot though.
