Looking for opinions on a .308 subsonic load I made for kicks.
I saw the data from Hodgedon using 8gn of Titegroup for a 168gn projectile. Pistol powder seemed like an odd choice and the 168 seemed light if I could use 220gn.
I had some SW50 BMG D100 powder and worked up a load with a 220gn SMK, got it to 1030fps, no issues, 26" 1:10 barrel.
Is there a reason no one has done this before? It seems easier and safer with a slower burning powder. Chances of me reinventing the wheel better than it was are low so I assume I must be missing something. Feel free to weigh in.
