Most available subs are gonna run north of 1K esp as many 300's are close to half that bbl length.

RE LOADING is your answer my friend. I load a 220 HP I cast at 970 fps with very favorable results.

I have tried a bunch and not found any that are reliably subsonic out of my 16" bolt action, let alone under 1000. Federal subs come the closest but they are still approaching 1100. If I want to shoot subs in that rifle I have no choice but to run handloads. The Federals may run slower out of a gas operated gun but I have not tried them out of my 16" AR as yet.
