This should give you an idea of what to expect with subsonics in a case similar to the 30BR:

Sierra 220gr/ 2400 10.2gr/ Win primer
Sierra 220gr/ 5744 11gr/ Win primer
Sierra 220gr/ 4759 11gr/...

I use the P22 Shepherd scopes on rifles where I want to shoot both supersonic and subsonic loads. I adjust the cross hairs for the supersonic loads at 100 yards. Then I adjust the circles below for...

The 302 looks similar to the 30BR. I have a wildcat similar to this that I put together a while back. Mine is mostly just a shortened 308. I get about 2600 fps with 150gr bullets if I recall...

Here's how I do it. I believe that this is a pretty simple process if you already reload and know how to trim cases to length.

1) I lock a new piece of Win 223 brass in my Hornady case trimmer....

I bought a CZ Ultra-Lux 22 bolt rifle for this reason. It has a barrel close to 29.5 inches. It is real accurate and really quiets things down a bunch. I consider it backyard quiet with CCI CBs (and...

HTG - Boise, Idaho-208-323-7674. His suppressors are killer from a design standpoint. The HTG suppressors get about 33+ decible reduction from his 22/223 and 30 caliber models. He has some 9mm and...

I haven't been able to get good subsonic accuracy with the Hornady 220 round nose in my Whisper or my 308. Both of them are 1:8 twist barrels. I wouldn't think that a 1:10 twist would make their...

Yes- they work surprizingly well. I've shot white tail deer up to 140 yards away with them and they worked for lung/chest shots quiet well. I got perfect expansion and a good size exit hole.
