Re: Why is it so hard to shoot subs?

Bump just because I don’t want anyone to think it’s easy to shoot small groups with subs, even past 50 yards. Some good shooters chimed in that found a lot of frustration when they first started shooting subs. Poked a little fun at Roadrunner 1969 in this thread for bench rest stuff, but he’s right....

Re: Looking for load data 200 GR subs

Well Hank, you sure picked a doozy for your first venture into rifle reloading. I've loaded for rifle since the 60s. Nothing too crazy, just for short range deer hunting, jack rabbits, etc. A couple of years ago a buddy got me into long range, which opened up a whole new world. Then I got a 300 BLK...

Re: Looking for load data 200 GR subs

Hank55, let's back up... Are your bullets FMJ (full metal jacket, meaning a copper jacket with lead inside) and coated, or are they lead, no jacket, but coated? I'm betting the latter since you seem to have bought them and no manufacturer in their right mind would coat a copper jacketed FMJ. Thanks...

Re: Looking for load data 200 GR subs

About the only thing you can count on as far as velocity change, is that it’s a very rare occasion that velocity increases with a shorter barrel. With supers people seem to lose 20-25 fps per inch, with subs probably about half that. The problem with subs is that most people won’t develop a load to ...

Re: Looking for load data 200 GR subs

Thanks I might not be asking the questions right. I just didn't see any charts for 300 Blk from a 10,5 barrel. ( manufactures data seems to only show 16'' barrels) Where do you guys find your load data for shorter barrels? I want rounds to stay subsonic even after i put the can on. Was not sure how...

Re: Light weight subsonics. What available powders are viable?

Thanks for the input it is always appreciated. There are a few threads here dedicated for single shot and bolt gun light weight subsonic loads. One load that I saw that I thought was really interesting was a Hornady xtp 90gr that some people were reportedly getting to expand at subsonic velocities....

They'll all fit,

It's brutal. 8)
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Shooting for score is just a bit harder than groups.

Brutal is certainly one word for it with subs! :mrgreen:

Laughing with you, tho. It’s all you can do. Nice shooting

Re: VV N120

My favorite powder for carbine gassed rifles.

There is data out there, Hornady, Sierra, Vihtavouri, won’t be specific to the bullet choice tho.

If you have a good 1680 load, I would load N120 1/2 grain more for a start.

Re: Not cycling with subs

Based upon what I read AR makers are porting 300blk assuming you will be suppressing subsonics. That is a fair assumption. That said, an any barrel with a .075" gas port is not going to cycle subs unsuppressed. Suppressed it would've. Not true. The system was designed to work in all 4 configur...

Re: Not cycling with subs

I have an A15 300blk and had a similar issue. My goal was to be able to shoot any 300blk ammo suppressor or unsuppressed. As normal, 300 supersonics are going to cycle right out of the box flawlessly. In my case, i bought a brand new Aero Precision full upper and full lower, nickle boron Aero bcg, ...
