Thread: 308 Subsonic

found at least one character online who claimed to get 1moa at 100yds using the 208 amax in a 1-10 using trailboss, others got good stability but crap groups . . give it a go you might be lucky

i put away a box of 208s & some trailboss awhile ago with the intention of seeing how far i could target shoot with them, the BC is a lot better than the 197grn flatpoint cast bullets i use . . be interested on how you get on.

have tried 212grn cast using 1-10 twist with good accuracy out to 300yds, slight tippping of the bullet ( oval holes ) so borderline stability with that weight/length of projectile, 1.5moa groups

if your going to go hunting with subs would suggest as others have said go with a BIG flatpoint, for best results go for a front on shot and try to take the pump out, bullet placement is everything. my 2c

good luck .. . R

A little instability can be a good thing as energy transfer is improved if the bullet tumbles, ive found that unless it hits bone even pure lead hardly expands, so i hollow point a lot of my cast pills for hunting now.( 3030 180 gr rn )
