Finally got to range test this and it knocks the socks off of anything I've tried before. I was shooting a warm 16" Noveske without a can. 19 shots all chrono'd in the range 1007-1037fps, with stdev of just 8.6fps!
Here's the 100-yard target:

That's good shooting!
Why would they name it harvester though if it's loaded with a non expanding bullet? Seems misleading at best & downright cruel if someone were to go hunting game with them.

WTB: exotic ammo! AP, tracers, etc. Money waiting, whatcha got?
Re: New: SilencerCo 300blk "Harvester" Subsonic Ammo
Actually the long OTM bullets do a reasonable job on game -- much better than I would have expected based on the fact that they suffer zero deformation in water tests. Turns out that they tumble almost immediately, leaving a wound channel more like the length of the bullet than its diameter. I believe expanding bullets would do better since from what I've heard the OTMs still always exit deer-sized game when shot broad-side. But I'm not a hunter myself, so I'll leave the ethics to hunters.

BTW, I just found some Accurate #9. I tested a 10.0gr load and got 1225fps. Also it doesn't look like the powder I found in the SCO Harvester, so I need to track down some of the slower suspects....
Re: New: SilencerCo 300blk "Harvester" Subsonic Ammo
I have yet to shoot a deer broadside that the bullet didn't exit completely. I've hunted and taken deer with a 30-30, 280Rem,and currently use a 308. Even expanding ammo will exit.

Bumping this because I've been away for a long time.
Is 1680 still the go-to powder for 220gr subsonics? Or has anybody figured out what the more accurate powder in this ammo is?
(My next try was going to be 2230, but I haven't been able to find any, which further raises my suspicions

I use H-4198, Lil Gun, and N-110 in a 8 inch SBR suppressed. Depending on the bullets determines what powder i use. I cant use 4198 on sierra 220 pro hunters, its compressed way too much.
But i uses Vihitavouri 110 with very good results and Lil Gun
Im trying CFE-BLK out right now, trying to develop a load for it, it just does not seem to be as quiet as Lilgun, 4198, and N-110
It would be nice if someone figured out what silencerco actually had in theirs
