Subsonic 308 With Green Dot

[eyekahn]

I haven't loaded subsonic 308 in about ten years. I want to shoot subs in a 16" barrel I've got. Trail boss was my go to back then but I guess now it's gone.

I've been reading some old thread that Green dot will work.

I've got some left over and was wondering if anyone can share their data in 308win. I've got 190 sub x and 213 eld's to load.

I can't find any published data for it

Thank you.

There is a section for subsonic reloading on the 308 WIN page on the Hodgdon web site.
It doesn't show all powders, just the ones under their brands, but they have several powders shown that you can still find.
I'll clip in a sample.

Thank you. I'm aware of those powder's but looking specifically for Green Dot.

For anyone interested I loaded 9.2gr Green Dot in LC case with a 210m primer and a 190 sub X at 2.7oal

Velocity was 1120 average.
Out of a 16" 1-11 twist SS barrel.

Going to bump it down to 8.8 and 8.5 to see what velocities are.

Also going to try some charges of green dot with 212 eldx
