![]() Quote:case: Lake City Surplus, previously firedĬharge Weight Tested: 4 grains to 14 grains. Here is his original load data that I saved and used. I went heavier than he did as he stopped at 55 grains IIRC. Loads, there is a member on the Accurate Reloading Forums named Seafire, his data is the data I started out with and it works well since that time I have used his initial load development for loading a wide range of bullets. Give Blue Dot and Red Dot a try, both work really well for reduced 223. I can get carried away.I have been loading and shooting subsonic for years in a 223. OK, enough diarrhea of the keyboard, sorry. I post this info’ for those who don’t yet own any. That gives the target no clue as to the source of the incoming rounds.īut anyone owning a can knows all of this. When the shooter is far enough away for the blast to be silent or muted, the only noise the target hears comes at right angles to the targets ears from the passage of the bullet. One positive to supersonic with a can, is the inability of the target to identify the source of the shooter. They are relatively short range propositions unless one can “grenade launch” the bullets into the target at range. One negative to subsonic is the rainbow trajectory of the bullet and that will be much the same (terrible) for all subsonic bullets no matter the bullet weight since gravity works on all of them at 32’/sec/sec. So if the gun was at all noisy I would have been made, but I wasn’t. I have put round after subsonic round into vermin, using NV, IR light, and a can, and they would look around unable to identify where the hurt was coming from, and that was with a silent noise background. Since it’s not an exposed lead bullet it can be used through a sealed can with no ill effect. 22 hornet bullet I bought in bulk as blems for my silent small game load, and it’s good out to 50 yards after which it starts to destabilize and accuracy goes to pot. Sometimes one doesn’t care if ones position is known and other times it’s best to stay undetected and under the radar. Long grooves in its gilding metal jacket. The Sub-X bullet used in Subsonic Rifle features a lead core. Subsonic Handgun utilizes tried-and-true XTP bullets that expand reliably at subsonic velocities. For bagging game for the pot silence can also be an asset under certain conditions. Hornady Subsonic Ammunition designed for accuracy and performance below the speed of sound now comes in both rifle and handgun loads. The heavier-bullet loadings like the 75-grainers will generate 200 foot-pounds of energy, making them in the same power class as a. bullet at 1010 fps) Allegiance Ammunition (100 grain at 975 fps) Custom Reloads of Dallas (55 gr. To load subsonic (under 1100 fps) you will be. Several smaller ammo companies load subsonic rounds for the. Even then, with low velocity, you may still get key holes 100. You will need a fast twist barrel (1/7) to have any hopes of stabilization. With a can and the right action a bullet to the head is hellywood silent not very far away from the shooter. robocop10mm said: You will be hard pressed to find a bullet heavier than 80 gr. Removal of vermin without waking anyone is one of those jobs. With a subsonic Sierra 80 grain the penetration was some sort of miraculous 13" through dry hemlock boards and part of that was sideways as the bullet turned itself around. I played with this extensively a few decades ago with. There are bullets that will expand at those velocities today but 20+ years ago I didn’t even look, so I assume no expansion for this post. With increased mass that generally comes with increased penetration if the flesh is unprotected. But it’s much more efficient to add velocity. Increased energy for a subsonic round can be had by increasing the mass of the bullet. ![]()
