[QUOTE="tulsacrittergetter, post: 3035345, member: 41264"] I went to a friend's house last night and brought all of my cans. I have a 1.5" OD / 1.350" ID titanium form 1 can, and it was in this can that the .223 and 300 Blackout rounds were going supersonic. I also have a 1.765" OD / 1.480" ID titanium + aluminum form 1 can which obviously has much more volume than the smaller titanium can, and the .223 subs were 100% subsonic through this larger can. Both were shot on a 16" barrel. I have been using CCI 40-Grain Subsonic Segmented Hollow-Point, which seemed to put down possums and other smaller critters better than the solid point Aguila and other CCI subsonic rounds I am accustomed to using, but they weren't doing so well against larger raccoons. I've had a couple get away from me wounded (which I later found dead). So, I am really wanting to try the .223 subs because I'm dealing with the same velocities but a larger projectile. And, inside 50 yards, there isn't much (if any) bullet drop inside 60-70 yards. Plus, Beck Ammunition sells an expanding hollow-point .223 specifically for this situation. Until I can afford to get a shorter .223 barrel for my AR, I'll just have to use my larger form 1 can when hunting since I don't have the luxury of using supers when I hunt varmints. I wish I did! I'd just use full-power 300 Blackout 150-grain rounds. ORRRRRR, I could build a 9mm AR pistol and shoot subsonic hollow points :) Of course the real answer is to start reloading like so many people on this forum have suggested that I start doing. Relying on store-bought ammo to achieve what I'm trying to do has proven to be challenging. Thanks for the replies. I appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
