I've experienced enough lodged bullets and they aren't fun.Ĭan a subsonic. Can one use light bullets in subsonic AR loadings? Probably, but I won't. In guns w/o a gas port I use lightweight bullets for subsonic. I know the 100 yard group was terrible because the bullet has destabilized. That was many years ago that I did that work and some of it is sharp and some is fuzzy. At 100 yards the bullets are keyholing and groups were around 4" if I remember correctly. It was a tackdriver out to 75 yards but with a rainbow trajectory. I think my subsonic AR load used Green Dot and i know it used a Sierra 70 gr. I also don't like using really fast powder. Of course with guns having a gas port near the muzzle, or entirely absent, that possibility is greatly reduced or eliminated. You also won't experience lodged bullets in the barrel. You'll hear it (or not hear it) when you go subsonic. I suggest that they start slightly higher, into the super sonic range and work down. Oh, and you had better know what you're doing.

So to counteract this I tell folks to do exactly the opposite of what is suggested when loading. If too little velocity is attained or the bullet is too light the bullet doesn't exit the barrel and the pressure can be heard to FFZZZZZ as it leaks out the port. We're not dealing with much pressure when using fast powder in the 5.56/.223 when the bullet reaches the gas port. I like my subsonic loads to use a heavy bullet for the AR. The problem with subsonic loads in an AR is the gas port in the barrel. Sure it could be fired out of an SBR or handgun, but it'll never reach much above subsonic and be safe. These guys have made an industry out of wiping out the general supply of ammo.Mark got it right, subsonic and not normal 5.56/.223 velocity. Same story we have all heard over and over. Others, as we know, take there whole family and/or friends to each buy a limit so he can sell them. He points out how one guy brags in forums online that he buys his max and then goes to his truck puts on a jacket, a hat and sunglasses and goes back in and buys another limit. His theory aligns with mine in that many of these guys are unemployed and have the time to dedicate to finding ammo and they are making a living reselling. He also goes into the reasons for the shortage being resellers that buy up all the ammo and resell it for up to $100 a brick for bulk ammo just like we have all seen. Not quite as good as many of our top loads with 22 LR but plenty good for plinking or hunting. If you want subsonic he loaded the 42 gr Calhoun HP Bullet over 4.0 grains of Blue Dot and got 1,113 fps and the groups averaged. The most accurate load listed is the Speer 40 grain Spire SP with 16.0 grains of IMR 4895 with Rem 7 1/2 Small Rifle BR Primers at 1,586 FPS His accuracy 50 yards range from a HIGH of 1.01" to a very decent.

The velocities range from 1,113 fps to 1,814 fps with the 223 rem from a Mods 700. His loads use IMR 4895, Blue Dot and Trail Boss. He loads the 40 grain Speer, 42 grain Calhoun 45 gr rem Round nose and a 22 cal cast bullet from Lyman.

243 and the other by John Barness (for me he is the best handloading author in these times) directly about the rimfire shortage and how to load your center fires in 22 Hornet and. This month's issue of Handloader has two articles about reduced loads. 300BLK was created, no?Įdit to add: Hodgdon now links to their reduced power data right on their home page. Of course, difficulty getting acceptable performance out of subsonic.

Having said that, I did not find such reduced loads to be very accurate. Average velocity was 1153fps from a 16" barrel.

The PDF explains how to do this.Īccording to my reloading log, I used 69gr bullets to achieve it in a rifle with a 1:8 twist and last loaded it in 1997.

However, since few manuals include Trail Boss in their recipes, you have to measure its maximum volume in your case and use the 70% rule against that measurement. You can perform a similar search to find the same for Trail Boss. They essentially use the 60% of their published maximum rule for that powder. Google "H4895 reduced rifle load" to find a PDF from Hodgdon explaining how to do it. I do not publish specific recipes on the intertubez, but it can be done with 4895 and Trail Boss, and I have done it with the former.
