[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1306214, member: 12995"] Just remembered this video, and decided to post it up for you. Has a lot of good info in it, if you're just getting started with subsonics. Also in the video, after proper calculations, he starts with 9.5 grains of Trail Boss as well... So, that's obviously not too low of a charge to start with (like I suggested in my first post). I knew it wasn't going to be, but yes, like was stated, you CAN start too low, but 9.5 grains would be a fine starting point for the .308 Win. Another thing, a lot of people do work from higher to lower with subsonics, but that is because they don't want to go too low. Everyone has their preference. Part of the game is knowing where to start and where to end. If you know about where to start, then you shouldn't have any problems starting just slightly lower than your expected target charge, and working your way up for verification. Make sure you do your test work over a chrono. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ix2si1M2iM8[/ame] [/QUOTE]
