Re: Silent and slippery: subsonic handloads...
I found the 150g round nose lead were about 5" low at 100m, not tried at longer distance as I only made them for a fellow shooter to take out foxes very quietly due to a load of antis complaining about the noise even when he was shooting .222 with a mod fitted!. As Dogger2uk says above they are as quiet as a very quiet thing that has been made even quieter!
There's room for all Gods creatures, next to the mash and gravy :)

If your shooting through a standard barrel then use a heavy for calibre flat base round nose , I used unique powder initially in my 308 but I'm in the process of trying trailboss with good results so far , with a fast twist custom barrel then you should be able stabilise high Bc target projectiles but after my results so far I'm not sure you will need to bother out to 300m ?
MAKE SURE YOUR BULLET IS STABLE ON TARGET BEFORE FITTING YOUR MOD !

You'll need to do some development without the baffles in or in a same length/twist barrel or you could just wing it ? It is your rifle after all !meles meles wrote:Hmmm, we're thinking of an integral moderator, made to our special design...
