I haven't had the time to handload for my subsonic .308 yet

I'm using 168SMK's to load subsonic 308 so I'm pretty sure there's a load out there for BO as well, I just haven't "tinkered" with it yet.

Where did you find the load data for .308? I guess I have been looking in the wrong place! Thanks!

Not sure exactly where on the web, but I had to alter the powder weight a bit.
Send me a PM for the powder and recipe if interested.

H-D Can you PM what powder and charge size your using on the 308 subs.....I'm really just wondering how much powder your using to get the 168 gr to be sub sonic

[TXSTDU]

For 300blk subsonics I use the 175smk and have no problems. I use W296 powder and Small Rifle Primers.

A good place to start is 10gr and work down until you break the sound barrier consistently. Then work for groups from there.

[Coach W]

Getting them to be subsonic isn't a problem. Having a bullet that will preform is.

I've run three projectiles at this point. 208 AMAX, 220 OTM, and the 220 HPBT.

Out to 50- 75 yards they preform great. Dead animals everywhere. But soon after 75 they drop off in effectiveness and speed. Between 75 and 100 yards they drop on average 9" and the groups start to open up. I'd be interested to know the speed at 100 yards because it's gotta be SLOW.

At this point it's a crap shoot. If you hit shoulder, rib, or even skull you just poked a pig, ****** it off and have it headed for the hills. I'm in the double digits of pigs I've hit and not recovered and it's only been 10-12 months since I started out looking for an effective round. For the most part these pigs don't die...

Seriously, You should see my trail cam pics it's like a pig war zone, lumps, limps and bullet holes on all of them. I've yet to find proper bullet placement on a pig that will drop them DRT out past 75 yards, neck to behind the shoulder, I even hit one high shoulder hoping to break its shoulder blades... Negative. Smaller animals are no problem, turkey's, prairie dogs, go down in a heap, but pigs are tough as we all know. The small pigs go down easier, but the big bores with armor plating shoulders and 3" of gristle.. Good luck.

I'm about to try some different projectiles as this is getting old. I'm out to kill them not hurt em. I think next will be the Lehigh defense rounds, even though they are pricey it will be worth it if they work. (If any body has a below average price sourced on those rounds hit me up).

And before anybody (Matt) says it.... I'm not shooting supersonic rounds in my blk... If I was wanting to supress a supersonic round I'd slap the suppressor on the 223, or buy one for my magnums make it hearing safe, and get in the woods.

I'm strictly looking for an effective subsonic killer.

I don't know what to tell you. It's fine balance of staying subsonic yet achieving a bullet that will penetrate enough and split up. I ordered some Gemtech 187 grain subsonics. I haven't tried them yet but the guy from Gemtech says their good for hogs. I've gone back and fourth with a buddy of mine about subsonics. He killed two deer last year with them and he did find them but they were complete pass throughs. I would almost say you have to chrono your results with different bullets. Try the Gemtech if you can get your hands on them or wait until the newer bullets come about that should be good for subsonics. I just dont' think there's a happy spot right now.

Personally, I don't care if there are subsonic. I'll shoot supersonic with my SDN6 and take em out. Subsonic buys you nothing really once you start shooting. They hear subsonics just as much as suppressed supersonics and start running. My buddy and I differ but that's my preference.

These 2 loads are on the Hodgdon reloading site.

it's a personal quest of mine to shoot an effective subsonic round. if not I would have never bought into the 300 blk.

how much subs are you guys shooting in your AR sbr's vs the super sonic rounds??

How would you split it up % wise??

Mine is an 8" SBR running 100% subs. If I wanted supersonic I would've picked a different caliber

I'm like Nate. As soon as I can find a dependable, effective subsonic round, that's likely to be the majority of my shooting.

100% of mine have been through a 16" custom TC by bullberry. It is extremely accurate. I'm waiting to find a effective load before I spend the money on the DD SBR in 300 blk I've been eyeing. I don't want to be invested any more in the caliber before I've proven it. The TC wasn't cheap lol.
