Subsonic loads for 308???

[riley5001]

Searched back several pages and couldn't find anything, so I'll just ask.
Does anyone have a subsonic load that will work in a 24" barrel 308 using Trail Boss. Prefer to use 168-175 gr bullets. Thanks

Sir, there are many threads on this. I use IMR 4227 with excellent result. Lapua SS 200 grain bullets with rebated BT.
PM for details if interested.

You will have better success with a round nose bullet! I have found that the 30-30 style 150gr and 180gr stay stable better in the sub-sonic range!

I have found the same thing. I use the Hornady 180gr round nose and Trail boss in an LTR.

I have a few thousand round and flat nose 30-30 bullets 150-170 grain if anyone is interested. I have been shooting them up in offhand practice at 200 yd line.

RTH, can you send me a PM with the details on those bullets and what you're looking to get for them? I can use them in my 30-30. I don't need a few thousand, but a few hundred would probably be a 10 year supply for hunting purposes.
