SUBSONIC 7.62X39 LOADS UPDATE

It is very important to weigh each charge, I have tried just using a thrown charge but velocity was all over the place. I have never had any signs of pressure problems and my loads have been very accurate out to 200 yds. I do not have any experience with trail boss, I have been using Unique for a few years now. This is my first post here, I have spent some time just reading. US Optics SN-3, T-Pal, EREK, green illuminated Type 1 reticle McMillan A5, adj cheek Piece, 33% each of OD green, black, and tan, flush cups Do you think they would be worth a try (with TrailBoss) or should I stick to the roundnose bullets?īTW, TrailBoss is some STRANGE lookin' powder! Sierra 170gr (30-30 rond nose, flat based bullet) After that I screwed the can on and went for it. I checked the targets for keyholing at 5yds, 25yds, and 100yds. I did NOT adjust the OAL trying to tighten the groups up. I was encouraged w/ the 50yds groups but dissapointed at 100yds. This was my first attempt to loading subs for my AAC Cyclone. I tried 9.5gr as a starting load with the 180's and was in the low 800fps range.ĭenz, those are some damn fine groups at 200yds! I would be happy with those at 100yds. He is a GREAT person and WILL have my business for MANY years to come.ĩ.6 was definitely a sweet spot for me as well.ġ1.5gr Trail Boss is giving me 1056fps avg from my 20' 700VS. He was the one that turned me on to this load and got me interested in it.

I AM HAPPY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ĮDITED TO ADD: I want to say THANK YOU to JOHN WHIDDON at Whiddon Guns in Nashville GA. No ear protection, it was QUIETER than snapping your fingers. You wont believe me when i tell you the LOUDEST part was the FIRING PIN DROPPING. I was VERY impressed and will be loading a FEW hundred to put up and carry.Īll in all i fired approximately 80 rounds today and was VERY impressed. VERY clean hole no tumbling or unstableness shown AT ALL. When i say ACCURATE as long as I held the mils it WOULD ONE HOLE the group. With the SUPPRESSOR attached and 10.5 grn load I was EXACTLY 2 MILS low at 50 yards. ** Rifle was sighted in at 100 yards using Black Hills 175 BTHP Match Ammo. I have USED SEVERAL manufactures cans and THIS one is a KEEPER**ġ0.5 Was VERY accurate even DINGING the 200 yard Steel target.

I went to the range today to get FPS calculations on my rounds WITH the Suppressor. My Shooting Chrono (X-Mas Present) was given to me EARLY.

this is also a load that has been proven lethal to 102yds for the average Whitetail or rather large gray squirells that are considered armed and dangerous! Will update with more results with better weather conditions which will permit Chrony and groups, stay tuned.įound this deep in the old threads of the forum: Note: this is a fun target load that is less expensive and 200yds has been a killer on 8oz.
