Subsonic Loads for Remington 700 1 in 7" 16.5" barrel length
Posted: Sun Jan 15, 2017 12:38 pm
Good Afternoon all,
Im based in the UK and have recently got a hold of a Remington 700 chambered in .300blk, 16.5'" barrel length and have a Schulz and Larsen thunderdome moderator fitted on the end.
Ive had a few chats face to face with a couple of guys who have shot this calibre. My desired use is for subsonic loads suitable for taking on Red Fox sub 150yds.
Ive seen a lot of data for shooting +200gr bullets.
I was led to believe that the heavy slow rounds would allow the bullet to "yaw". I acquired some data for 175gr loads from the reloader nest. 6.5gr of Alliant Red Dot would put me just on the cusp of supersonic.
Powders to hand are;
Blue Dot
Red Dot
HP38
I have an abundance of Sierra TMK 175gr
Hornady A-Max 178gr
Scirocco Swift 180gr
Any input would be well received
Thanks in advance
