Subs but not subs?

Post by 70worm »

Ever buy a box of subs and turns out they get super velocity? Got some boxes of American Eagle 220gr 1000fps. But they went supersonic on me.

9" barrel with Specwar suppressor on it.

I have several boxes of those. I got them as I was buying parts to build the upper. I think I gave around $14 or $15 a box for them iirc.

I got them mainly to have some federal LC 300 factory brass because I hadn't gotten my jigs and stuff at that point.

Though, they weren't supersonic, they're just loud.

dirty.

And gassy.

Most of the ones I chrono'd through my 8.5 inch barrel were 1080'ish. Some lower, some a little faster, but loud nonetheless.

Sound barrier is 1116 ft per second. Technically.
When those totally ignorant of firearms make laws, you end up with totally ignorant firearm laws.
