help finding cheapest subs

Post by stx.dead.I »

I am new to 300blk, have an upper arriving this week. I have a suppressor on the way as well and should be here by end of November. I am looking for a decent subsonic round that I can plink with. Also plan on hunting small varmint with it as well. What yall recommend and where?

I like the 220grn round @.68 per round from freedom munitions but its out of stock right now...

Cheapest subs are going to be those that you load yourself.

Leatherhead 220 grains for about $0.15 - $0.17 per round; Of course, time is money, as is reloading equipment.

With cast boolits, you're down to less than $0.10 per round, depending on the lead source.

Ya, I used to do a lot of reloading and even casting. I had the dilling xl650 setup and reloaded my own 40 and 45 casted rounds. Sold it all off regrettingly...

Have been thinking about getting back into it with a lesser setup. Perhaps something like the lee turret but need some ammo to last till I start loading again.

If you guys are interested I have a 5% discount code with http://www.leatherheadbullets.com

One time use per person though so make it worth it.

"STEINER" is the code.

Modern Arms International has subs at $ .55 a pop. They're lead but coated & come in some of the most beautiful cases I've ever seen.
WTB: exotic ammo! AP, tracers, etc. Money waiting, whatcha got?

They are not very accurate. I had three failures to feed from a GI mag with Magpul antitilt follower. They are loaded a bit short. I did give them that feedback as I was emailing and texting with Mike from MAI. Nice guy but I was shorted 9 rounds of ammunition in a 100 round. Mistakes happen and they don't usually have someone stop by the shop. :lol:

Edit: Make sure rounds are seated in the back of the magazine. My order will be corrected and I'm going to try some more to get a good representative sample.
MAI now has .60 Speer TNT 125 GR bullets at 2,200 FPS.

I have the 220 grain from freedom and it is NOT Subsonic- at least the ones i have aren't. I am in the same boat as you. I'm looking at a few other places as well. Anyone know any good (not 1 moa) subs would be greatly appreciated. Or the ones to avoid

Thanks

Give MAI subs a try, they were as quiet as the expensive Sig Sauer 220 GR bullets I shot.

The brass has their head stamp, its annealed, has a high polish, the powder also burned very clean, I personally did not notice gas in the face, and the ejection pattern was very consistent. Make sure your bullets are seated in the back of the mag and that should help the FF I had in one mag.

If you are going to varmint hunt buy the Speer TNT bullet they sell. It is a match bullet. I personally load that kind of bullet because of the great accuracy. I zero my scope to it and the. Just dial in other loads based on my ballistic cards I have made.
