Thanks for the reply. Going with the same loads was my plan but wanted another opinion. I have not ventured far off the beaten path in terms of loading subsonic ammo.

Thanks,

I got a 300 Whisper case gauge from SSK Industries. It may not be to the exact same dimensions as your 300/221. It was reasonably priced if I remember correctly.

I did test both of those. The SSK rounds averaged 1071fps and the targets looked about the same as those in my previous post.

The corbon rounds averaged 894fps and the accuracy was terrible.
