They are not silent though, they sound like a large pistol. If I haven't bored you too much, I'm sure I can come up with some more info. Traded off the rifle, and sent the load book to the new owner. Never got much for accuracy, so didn't pursue it too hard. I'm pretty sure I was able to see some of those ones on the way to the target. I don't have that data anymore, and it was a while ago, but I think I went from 4.4gr up to 14. Lots of unburned powder on the bench and lots of yuck in the bore. I was using Unique, and there just wasn't enough pressure to burn the powder well. I tried a 00 Buck ball (63.5gr?), run through a Lee push through sizer down to.
I've gone as low as (I think) 4.4gr pushing a 167gr round ball, and it burned, but left a bit of residue. Unique burns nice and clean at that level. 431" or so, and I could push it harder, but that's not really the point. 429"swc, so going much faster results in a lot of leading.
Very accurate, so that's what I've stuck with. My plinking bullet is a 240gr and ~10.5gr Unique, for about 1200fps. I use Unique in my 444, and it works well. 4831? Forgive me, I'm tired and not about to look it up right now. Powder companies know of it, and have expended a great deal of effort trying to make it happen.ĭon't use tiny charges of powders slower than. Rather than burning at a controlled rate, it all explodes at once, resulting in spontaneous field stripping of the firearm and maybe a trip to the hospital. SEE stands for Secondary Explosive Effect. Basicaly the flash of the primer travels across the powder's surface, and swirls it into the air space. Search for the "leafblower effect" by Rocky Raab.
It is possible for the filler to form a plug in the bottle-neck, and raise pressure a bunch.įast powders aren't that hard to ignite, and they don't need to be held tight to the flash hole. I'm not really sure that drilling out flash holes is really needed, and I would discourage the use of fillers, especially in a bottle-neck case. Have you read Ed Harris' work on "The Load"? Basically, any 308 size cartridge or bigger, with 13gr of Red Dot. Inexpensive, and the world will run out of lead before plinkers will wear out a gun. They're also nice to load up 50 at a time and blow through them while waiting for another rifle to cool down, or plinking tin cans and such. Subsonic or plinking rounds are just plain fun! Very nice for letting new shooters try out a "real" rifle, rather than just a. How did I miss this the first time round?!? Anybody here have some experience with reduced loads? I haven't seen much threads on the subject is a taboo or something? The filler keeps the powder close to the primer too. What had me quite worried was SEE, and it worries me still but with the 700x, I am at 30% case capacity, I give the bullet plenty of jump and the 311299 is quite long so with a 2.8 OAL it reduces the volume in the case more. More work to make though especially if you count the bullet casting and the triple checking for correct powder measurements in the cases. They function flawlessly and are quite powerful, I didn't chrony them yet but they are definitely subsonic and much quieter that the standard. I drilled the flash hole to 1/8 and use a mag primerĪbout 2 c worth of powder, 4.4 c for the primer, cases were free, bullet is under a penny.roughly 7-8c a round, around a 22lr price. I use a 311299 cast bullet with check under 8gr of 700x But mostly I want to expand my knowledge and experiment outside the realms of conventional reloading. 308 round for plinking out in the woods at closer ranges. I wanted a very cheap and somewhat quieter. After tons of researching I finally gave it a go.
