Subsonic 308


Sisco

Recommended Posts

Went to the best kind of barbeque yesterday- where everybody brings their guns, and the host has a private range. One of the guests brough a Kimber 45 suppressed, and a Savage hog hunter bolt suppressed with a bunch of subsonic 308 ammo. Damn! I am still waiting for my 45 can, but I am going to start shopping for a 30 caliber can tomorrow! I fart louder then the noise that thing makes!

Kinda thought that myself. Plenty of AR15 lowers and brass laying around, along with some H110 powder. What's not to like?

I thought my mini14 was suddenly going subsonic till I changed my hearing aid batteries.  It seems like a toy, after shooting some FGMM 175 match in the 308 L.R.

We were doing that with a Savage 308 Bolt Action suppressed on Saturday, that is what got the itch started. Like I said, I can fart louder than that!

:thumbup:

Thought I'd scratch your itch a little Sisco :-)

FWIW if any of you guys are going to load for subsonic I can definitely recommend IMR Trail Boss, it's burns nice and clean but it's best quality is that it has a very high bulk density, like 10gr's nearly fills a 308 case, no chance of double charging or any of the other issues when using very small charges of other powders.

I've been using it for a while to load both 308 subs and my wife has a suppressed .243 Win bolt action, it works very well in that too.

A bit of info..........
