Is there any sub sonic ammo availible for a 223?

Or has anyone ever handloaded any?

Black Hills has sub sonic match, but I'm not sure if it is avaiable to the public.I do know that you have to order it directly from them.

I hand loaded some. My firelap bullets were loaded with 3 grns of H110. They just made a poping sound. The mini was a bolt gun.

what I was thinking is if I can get one of my mini's to do 1 inch at 50 yards with subsonic ammo then I could use it for tree rats,,,I would have to work the action but thats no biggy.

What are some things to watch out for when loading such small loads,,,any problems with pressures and such? I have looked but can't find any info on lower powered loads,

I would like to get something say 950-1000 fps with a 55 grainer

All I know of sub-sonic from the factory is stuff from IMI or from Engel Ballistics. I think you can get the IMI stuff easily enough - not sure about the Engel stuff.

I'd love to handload some with 60+gr bullets (like Sierra or Hornady 68/69 grainers or 63gr SPs)!!! Anyone know of some safe loads for sub-sonics?

Hee hee hee... life is good sometimes.

Just when I think I've seen it all someone comes up with another good idea. Thanks pposey. I added that link to my favorite file folder. I'm gonna load me some, but I hafta see about getting the powder first.

Some point in time you might think of getting you a chrony. It makes load developement easier, and more exact.

Here is a link for some factory subs. Check out: http://www.impactguns.com/store/tti_subsonic_223.html

That is on top of the list right along with a dillion blue,,,


can never have too many toys but never have
enough $

Ouch they want $12 a box!!!! That hurts,,,,,I have lotsa brass
and 45 and 55 grain soft points and hollow points,,,,,,,

Should about be able to load 100 for that.

Funny how they charge more for less, for example: glasses for less than $50 you get frames with a lot of heavy duty material, for $300 a pair of titainium wire upper frame with a rubber band around the lens, or a large 4 person dome tent for $89, or a 2 lb 2 oz. 1 person tent for $125. A bullet with only 1/3 the powder for double the price! Go figure

That is true,,,,

A pound of blue dot should load hundreds of rounds.
