This is interesting!
Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes.
Re: Subsonic 223 and 308 bolt rifles !
Full day at the range today !
Had five suppressor rifles there .
Springfield M1A in 308 , Savage Hog Hunter in 308 , Remington 700 TAC in 308 and a Remington 700 TAC in 223 .
The M1A isn't so great at this subsonic stuff but we wanted to give it another try today .
The Hog Hunter is working with True Shot cast bullets however after dropping the powder charge 2 grains I've still not gotten below sonic . The good news however is everything I shot today was a 3 shot one hole group at 50 yards !
The Remington 700 TAC in 308 is pretty much finished with the Sierra 220 grain RN and 14.5 grains of Trailboss for a avg MV of about 1040 FPS .
The Remington 700 TAC 223 is pretty much finished as well with 4.7 grains of Trailboss and the Hornady 60 grain V MAX or 60 grain SP . Later after we've shot up all the Honrady stuff I'll use it with the Nosler 60 grain BT and I see no reason it shouldn't do as well with that bullet however POI may change slightly .
The Howa 1500 308 with the 10 round mag shot normal stuff pretty darned well today and I hope to get that one going next week with the sub sonic stuff as it wouldn't chamber the stuff I had loaded for the Remington .
