Thread: Subsonic action

Nice work.
How would you compare subsonic with suppressor to subsonic without suppressor?

Huge difference in my 30-30. Suppressor on is stupid quiet. Off, same round, you really need earmuffs. (16" barrel)

Noisier, but not by as big a margin as a really short barrel. Mine is 20”. I find it doesn’t need suppression but haven’t used it in thick timber yet.

It won’t get suppressed anyway. Leaving it as it is. I’ll use ear plugs or muffs when using full power ammunition.

I have used Robs casts in 308 and 30-30 both subs and at 1600 fps for 3 years now. Shot reds with the faster load out out to 150yds, worked just as well as a jacketed projectile. Try pushing them a bit faster, gives more margin for error. Should still work with the opens.

What powder and weight are you using for 1600fps in the .308?

I am not sure of the velocity but I get good accuracy with 25.00 grains of 2206H start to get lead fouling at 35.00 grains around 2100fps in my rifles 30" barrel.
