.308 reloading query - for all those schooled in home loading

[sparx 0]

I am currently waiting on the return of my beloved .308 from the gunsmith who is fitting a custom silencer/muzzle brake.

Can anyone give me some info on what projectile type and grain, powder type and grain and any other tips to produce a round as silent as possible while still giving accuracy and knockdown on medium game (fallow and sika) out to around 100-150 meters?

any help appreciated

 

cheers

Matt

I'm just starting to work on 7.62x39 subsonic. Good luck.

Generally speaking, a semi auto rifle isn't the best choice for subsonic reloading. The pressures involved will not cycle the action. My state doesn't allow silencers and the like, but it's fun to read about.

Maybe heavyball in a subsonic X-39? A 180/200gr projectile with a slower powder? Enquiring minds want to know.

It's actually a bolt action remmington, I am a saiga 12 owner simply leeching knowledge from saiga .308 owners (mmmmwuhahahahahaha!!)

 

thanks very much anyway
