    Farrrrk me If I ain't allowed my ARs anymore I have just found what I want next. Would be great for extreme rabbiting.

    One shot and rabbits far and wide would just roll over and give up

    Be about right wouldn't it? I run less than 6gr for subs in 308.
    Other loads between 46g and 51.6g

    Yeah but A sub 308 would be more use
    The drop on a sub 50 would be massive
    I ran it through shooter for a laugh

    I think a subsonic 50 would be quite useful but not in that rifle or on that case.
