Thread: Subsonic 300BLK Noise levels

Good to see it all worked out in the end.

Only took a $1000 suppressor to solve it

No especially if they are not subsonic... That makes them low powered supers???

Here's my 300BLK
10.5" barrel, supressed ,shooting subsonic home loads
Is extremely quite outside in the open ... This was filmed in a bay of a inside range so a bit louder than it would be normally but you get the idea .
Also the camera/mic is situated on the rail very close to the muzzle

sounds like the American Eagle ammo is still going supersonic in your rifle. If the load is too close to the speed of sound then you can get some rounds cracking and some that don't. Many variables, High above sea level, neck tension etc.
When im trying different Sub loads in my 308, I load in 3gr weight drops then when I get to a load that doesn't crack, I double check the next load below it and if its still subsonic then that's my load. Nothing worse than choosing the first load that doesn't crack then have some crack when you are out hunting. Usually around 950-980fps do well for me.

For a few years I have been casting and shooting 180gr HP lead subs. They bore me now and don't like the possibility of leading the barrel and needing to clean it before using high velocity ammo.

I have finished my next load a few days ago. 140gr Barnaul sp projectiles, have not chrony'd them yet. 8.7gr Trailboss, Murom mag primers. These were the first projectiles i tried when playing around with subs 6 years ago. Shot well. The Barnaul FMJ shot even better.

Hi there! Any chance I could purchase a loaded round to add to my cartridge collection?

Shouldn't that be in the Gun Porn thread?

Semi related: does anyone else here have experience with ODL cans? I'm finding mine is quite tight to turn especially on the last few revolutions to get it up against the shoulder of the barrel. The bore looks lined up correctly by eye and the barrel thread looks fine. Is it just like this to prevent it wiggling loose? I think I'm being a bit over precious about my spendy silencer, haha.

by the way Seano, your gun looks friggin mean

I have several of them, and one of them is also like this-but only on one of the guns it gets fitted to. From this I assume it's more to do with the threads on the barrel or maybe the over barrel section being tight than a issue with the can.
