Thread: Subsonic action

Just clean it like normal @Shearer. At the end of a week or 10 days hunting, I’ll give it a light scrub with bore cleaner, patch put, pull through, light oil, in the safe. Pull through again before next firing, fouler into the hill at the homestead before hunting. Off I go. Repeat.

I also have two positions marked on the elevation dial @vulcannz, 5 MOA up and I’m good for 50m on subsonics, zero for full power 165gr. But that’s on my other 308.

I haven’t yet fully worked out the open sights adjustment for subsonic, so was limiting my shots to what I’d proven in the paddock at home, with milk bottles, about 30m. A mission at some point in the next couple of days will be to do proper drop tests with the subs in the Browning. I expect I will limit myself to shooting goats and small deer within 50m with the open sights, we’ll see. With a good rest I’ve been shooting rabbits at 80 to 90 m but that’s with a scope. Big difference.
