I use cast bullets for mine. I particularly like one NOE mold that drops a 247g slick side bullet I powdercoat. I send it with IMR4198 and its very accurate.
My subsonic 308 bolt gun shooting 220's at 1000fps is shockingly quieter than my .300 blk shooting 190's at 940fpsCoyote wacker is correct. No amount of magical reloading tricks are gonna make a gas gun as quiet as a bolt gun, especially at your ear. That bolt flying open is letting gas, and noise, out. It's just physics. No way around it. Forget the AR and stick with the bolt gun for ultimate silence.
Not to jump start an old thread, but would you have a recommendation for someone entertaining buying a .300 blk vs a .308 with hopes of reloading for subs? It would be a bolt gun. I got on here to research reloading 300blk and saw this quote.My subsonic 308 bolt gun shooting 220's at 1000fps is shockingly quieter than my .300 blk shooting 190's at 940fps
In my experience, 300blk is more accurste with subs than 308 Win. I have toyed with both, using the same projectiles and the blackout has always been better.Not to jump start an old thread, but would you have a recommendation for someone entertaining buying a .300 blk vs a .308 with hopes of reloading for subs?
