Remington LTR 308 1-12 Twist 20 inch barrel Advice on Subsonic Bullet
(1) I loaded some 165 sierras hpbt (2140) with 9.4gr trail boss average vel. was 1020 fps (fun to shoot). At 10 yards every round (20 total) was nice little holes no keyholeing.. at 50 yards every round (5 total )keyholed.. Question: would you use these through "your" suppressor since they are stable a 10 yards. the keyholeing is ok, because they are sill accurate @ 50 yards just not perfect little holes. I have about 300 bullets and would like to use them up...
(2) Now looking for a better subsonic bullet to keep to form keyholeing. like a round nose flat base type, or what every you all recomend.
Have any of you got a 1-12 twist, and shoot subsonic? if so what type of bullet do you like and what grain? using a 1-12 twist.
I wish i had a 1-10 or faster but i dont.. so my new suppressor should be here in a month or two, just trying to work out some loads while waiting.
I have been researching and reading for weeks now, would really like to hear form First hand experence with subsonic 308 using 1-12 twist, and results - good or bad.
Thanks in advance for any help.. and thanks for reading.
