SILENTSTRIKE SUBSONIC 223 AMMO UPDATE

It kind of makes the gun long and unwildly but its not overly barrel heavy, at any rate I'm doing 98% shooting off a rest or support so it won't matter.This article is an update of sorts to two others, on frangible ammunition as well as subsonic. At a recent writers’ conference, a company making frangible, Allegiance Ammunition, presented information about their product and also allowed us to test the ammo at Florida Gander Mountain’s indoor range.Īllegiance Ammuntion CEO Jeff Mullins is on a quest to change the way the world sees frangible. I'm shooting them out of a Remington 700 ADL with a 22' barrel, I started to have it cut shorter to 18 or 20' when I had it threaded but I didn't. 75', which will work for what I'm doing with it. I'm gonna try them again whne I get back out and see how it goes. My second day of testing those loads didn't go so well, I don't know if it was the weather conditions or the fact I cleaned the barrel really well after shooting last time but my FPS spread was all over the place yesterday, althought I used the exact same load and components, I never even removed the dies from my presses, I really don't have any idea what changed, maybe those loads are just fickle. They almost don't even need to be neck sized lol. I was hoping to get a fuller case of powder with the heavier bullet. I am waiting for midsouth to get some Speer 70-grains in stock (I live 45 minutes from them).

I am assuming you are shooting out of a longer rifle barrel since we get similar speeds with a full grain of powder difference. You are giving me some hope that subsonic. WOW!!! You got results like I would love to get. It was quiet and will serve my purpose for now, but I’m gonna keep playing around.Ĭheck out Engels site out (if you hadn't already), if you look thru the tabs below the ammo, he has a wealth of information on subsonic loads in there.īTW I tried a box of his bullets, they work very well, but my hand loads are quieter. 5” at 50 yards, round dropped 6” (from a 50 yards zero) at 100 yards. I had the best luck with 4.6 grains of trail boss under a 63 gr Sierra set off by a small rifle primer, brass manufacturer didn’t seem to matter (btw, after firing my brass didn’t need trimming either). Some load receipes worked well, some tumbled out the muzzle. I verified all my test loads for stability and FPS with a bare barrel before running them through my suppressor, to prevent baffle strikes. I initially started with Unique and Trailboss powders under 55 gr and 63 gr Sierras. Although I am experienced reloader, I did a lot of research and reading on subsonic loads before I started loading them. I just got a YHM can for my 223 and have started playing around loading SS rounds. I think I will play around with trying it in a. 223 barrel for an encore and having the barrel threaded so I can use my. I have been loading 300 Whispers and now 300 Blackout for 12 years.

I think what you are doing has a huge cool factor. I may have my expectations too high but I want my speed spread to be under 20fps and my accuracy to be right at 1 moa. My newest hurdle, as expressed starting this thread, is horrible speed consistency and poor accuracy. I have overcome several hurdles along the way such as my silencer not wanting to screw over the factory threading, the hammer not wanting to cock and them forgetting to add some elevation to my scope base. After inespecting my Lapua brass after one subsonic firing, I am not even sure I will have to resize let alone replace my brass EVER!!! lol. 223 subsonic to be very inexpensive since my only expense will be bullets, primer and a very small charge of powder. However, I don't have the money for a 3rd silencer right now and I have no use for the extra power (I am only a target shooter). 14 with 22lr) (B) better control over velocity (C) Better accuracy (D) no silencer leading. 223 subsonic I am hoping to have (A) a slightly better BC (I get. 223 barrel with a 1-7 twist with an angled scope base. I have done so well with 22lr that I decided to push the envelope with. I love the looks I get on the centerfire range when I am popping 12' balloons at 300 yards when they cannot even hear my firearm discharging. For the past 5 years I have had a lot of fun finding the right 22lr ammunition and Target shooting to 300-yards with subsonic 22lr (SK Pistol Match) out of my Contender pistol with a Bullberry barrel and a Tac-65 silencer. 22 suppressors shoot em take em apart soda blast em and your golden.

22 through a 5.56 unless your want problems this is why they make. 223/ 5.56 your not gonna get lead in your suppressor.
