Re: Subsonic for AW
You just need a decent cast boolit that fits your bore and the right powder job done easy peasy.
My AIA 7.62 x 39 is fed nothing but cast.
My mas36 works great with cast.
My No4 my Steyr .308 etc etc. Iv never shot anything but cast in my underlevers. Its a no brainer for me cast is the way to go.

Re: Subsonic for AW
Thanks Rob. However I have all the info I need to get started with jacketed and Trail Boss. I definitely won't be using lead which seems to have become the main topic of this thread with some thanks to Dromia. Collected all I needed Yesterday from Reloading Solutions - I have to say I was surprised when they said they had stock of B416.DW58 wrote:Ahem ... ... ... subsonic .308W ammo for an AI AW anyone?

Re: Subsonic for AW
I occaisionally shoot my AI .338 AWM at over 1700 yards - is lead really going to be better than a Lapua Lock Base 250 grain with 88.5 grains of N140?

I thought you said you were looking for a subsonic load. ?I occaisionally shoot my AI .338 AWM at over 1700 yards - is lead really going to be better than a Lapua Lock Base 250 grain with 88.5 grains of N140?

Re: Subsonic for AW
Despite the thread being hijacked by the lead fraternity I was for my .308 AI. However, they seem to think lead will do everything that a jacketed bullet can, cheaper and better, but I very much doubt this in this case.Alpha1 wrote:I thought you said you were looking for a subsonic load. ?I occaisionally shoot my AI .338 AWM at over 1700 yards - is lead really going to be better than a Lapua Lock Base 250 grain with 88.5 grains of N140?
This lead thing is like a cult with you lead guys - other religions are available!
Re: Subsonic for AW
It's Horses for courses it makes perfect sense to shoot cast in 308 subsonics.

agreed but equally it doesn't 'not' make sense to use jacketed either.Alpha1 wrote:It's Horses for courses it makes perfect sense to shoot cast in 308 subsonics.
