In order to be considered for publication, you can submit your information in the following format:īarrel Maker, Contour, Gas Length/Port Size (if known)Ĭhronograph Velocity, if known or manual velocity, if known.Īny issues or problems, Failure to Fire, Failure to Feed, Failure to Eject, etc. NEVER take a 'Pet Load' and use it as a starting point. Load development means starting with a LOWER powder charge and working up to that 'Pet Load' in a safe and methodical manner, always checking for signs of overpressure along the way. Pet Loads are NOT a shortcut nor a quick and cheap way to escape the sometimes tedious task of load development. You can provide a link in your post for the 'workup' of the load if you choose to post one.Īny loads listed are what have worked for others, but does not mean that they will work for you or your specific firearm. This thread is a compilation of 'Pet Loads' that others have contributed for publication. This thread is for any Subsonic loads using powders OTHER than these. Then again, a 1/9 twist barrel for a 77/22 and some Aguila SSS, is probably a much easier long term solution.The 'Standard' Powders are currently Lil'Gun, H110, and A1680. I was mostly thinking of using these loads in more of a SWOS, silent without suppressor role, so no worries regarding baffle strikes. It also might take up more case capacity, which would MIGHT good for a lot of reasons regarding powder ignition, case to bore expansion ratio, etc. Has anyone ever experimented with turning the 75 BTHP around? They would hit harder because of more frontal area, although real world results might not be worth it.Īlso, it would move the CoP closer to the CoG, basically leaving the mostly hollow nose, now, a drag-reducing tail. And you would have a much more quiet setup on the 223 subsonic if it was functioning in the single shot straight pull operation. Even if it would, why? You would get much better terminal effect with a 300 whisper if you want subsonic semi-auto operation. The 223 subsonic would more than likely never be enough to operate a gas system. Yeah, you just answered your own question.

The 300 Whisper works like this, but then again that uses more powder. I have thousands of those ready to go.Īlso, I think that a wide gas port opening in combination with a pistol length gas system and a light weight buffer/spring could allow for cycling. I'll take the advice given here from other folks and use lighter, shorter bullets. It will not have sufficient gas pressure to operate the BCG, so you'll be shooting straight pull bolt action style.ĮTA: I guess if I'd read the thread I wouldn't duplicate other's effort Since we're talking about a fast burning pistol powder here, velocity in a shorter barrel likely won't be much less. Using 4.5gr of Solo 1250, the bullet gets 1052 fps from a 24 inch barrel. Is there a load to make H335 send 75grs subsonic? Also, will 75gr bullets stabilize enough at that low of a velocity to prevent baffle strikes? I'll be shooting out of an 18' 1x7' twist WOA SPR barrel.ĭisclaimer: I know that any load data provided is 'use at your own risk' and I know to start loading 10% less than the provided load and work my way up.Īccurate Arms lists a subsonic load with Hornady 75gr BTHP.

I've read that subsonic rifle loads usually use pistol powder, and usually only around 5gr of it.ĭoes anyone know the best powder and charge for 75gr subsonics? I've got a bunch of H335 that I use for 55gr full power rounds. I'll be using bulk 75gr HPBT bullets from wideners and wolf SRM primers.

223 suppressors, which is what I'll be shooting my subs through. I've searched the archives, but every thread about sub.
