MD pity you live so far away I have just set up my Dillon 550 to load .44 mags,
If you don't want pass throughs use the 270 HP's, A customer in Nelson is a Pest control contractor he uses the 280 FP's
his load's velocity is 900fps and will pass through pigs at 100 metres the hollow points don't, any powder AP70 and faster works
for subsonic I have used 700X at 5.0 grains very quiet, In my Bergara the sound level picks up at 800fps it has a DPT muzzle forward suppressor with 2 extra baffles.

awesome thanks..Bill has tried subsonic before and was VERY underwelmed..... I have two shotgun powders on hand...a 30 and a 50...no 70 buggeritall..... dont think they will work but will have a look,have lilgun and trailboss too so will do a bit of digging.

I just find it wierd that a 30cal subs seems to kill better even tho the hole left by the 44 is bigger and the front face of the projectiles

I crushed about 5 in a row last time Seating the projectiles and got annoyed at it but it should just take me a few to get my head them
