I'm fixin' to start reloading subsonic, something I've never done before and I was wondering what weight projectile I should be looking at. Rifle is a bolt action .308. Assuming I can find some, I'll be using Trail Boss Powder if not maybe H4895.
Yeah, thanks, I just talked to Jerry's Outdoors here in Tulsa and learned the same thing about Trail Boss. Sucks!Good luck finding Trail Boss. It was last reported to be under redevelopment in 2021 and was never released in 2022. Current thoughts are that it may never come back. On that note, I know a couple of members here had some and I've offered to buy it publicly but never heard back.
The reason for bulky powder is case fill. With less powder in the case, there is always the chance of incomplete or zero ignition of the powder. Think of aiming down on a very cold day. there is the possibility that the primer will not ignite the powder.Some people want a bulky powder so they do not double charge the case.
I never understood that.
If you are paying attention to what you are doing and you are not high or drunk you should not have a case that is double charged.
Those look expensive!I've been wanting to load up some Hornady SUB-X bullets in 30-30 or .303 Brit. I'll be watching this thread to see what you guys are doing.
