Aguila Super Extra 38gn Subsonic Ammo?

Hello,

I picked up 500 rounds of Aguila Super Extra 38gn subsonic.

Nobody has the SSS 60 grain stuff.

Seems there's a formula that goes something like Proper Twist = (150 X bullet diameter) /(bullet length / bullet diameter). The 36gn needs a bit slower and the 40gn seems to like 1:15 according to this formula, but the 38gn is perfect with the 1:16 twist. All theoretical.

Anyway, I gave it a quick run and it seems promising. I have to dial more to get 100 yards, but since it starts out at 1025fps or so, I don't have to worry as much about wind and transsonic speeds.

Do you have any experience with this stuff, and what are your opinions?

It's one of my favorite Subsonic rounds. It's also some of the quietest stuff you can get off the shelf. Fiocchi 38gr Subsonic is the same stuff.....different box and brand but the same stuff.
