supersonic and subsonic loads with 308/3006 tracer?

Post by bp_968 »

I have 1000 of the orange tip 143gr tracers. Anyone got any loads for these using lilgun, WC844 WC846, Varget, or 4895 (those are my available powders, though I'm going to buy some A1680 soon).

Thanks!

17.0 grns of H110 with 143 grn tracers. Out of my 8" barreled AR does a great job.

start at 8.0gr of lil gun behind them and walk down for subs.. it pushes a 175 at 1000fps out of a 16" barrel. so that should be close if you have a shorter barrel. It probably wont produce no where near enough pressure to cycle a factory AR with that light of a bullet but they are nice and quiet maybe a db or 2 over 5gr of hp38 and a 150gr sp which sounds like just the hammer falling on my encore.
