I am building a 300 whisper AR with a noveske barrel. I am planning on using 220 grain matchkings most of the time. I would also like to have a more economical subsonic load to use in the rifle. What is the lightest bullet I can shoot subsonic and still cycle the action? I can test this myself but would save some money if I had an idea of where to start.

I've have a Noveske 10.5" 300 Fireball barrel. I've gotten Remington Core-Lokt 180gr to cycle with 2015. The grouping however, was not too great.

Hi Steezo,I am thinking about getting that same barrel. Is It ok to ask how much they cost?
