If its a TP555 barrel with his selectable gas block, 2400 will give you plenty of gas for reliable cycling. You should be around 8-9 grains. VVN110 works well too. The 240s take up a lot of case...

I shot my 10" barrel with the suppressor for the first time today. It is a fair bit louder than the 18" bolt action I had before it. One plus is that you can kill the action noise by switching the...

150 Nosler Ballistic tips are the worst yet. They are unstable at 1300 fps, and from 1050-1200 fps, they are hitting the target at about a 45* angle. Shot some more of the 208's today at 100 yards,...

I've documented a lot of it in this thread, but I'm using AA1680, VVN110, and Alliant 2400, and I've tried everything from 900-1200 fps. I've tried lots of combinations/charge weights/etc., burned...

Strange. My 10" barrel, despite the other problems has cycled just about everything. I've used 2400 powder, and I've used 110 grain bullets at subsonic velocities, and all cycle. This was with no...

Even 168 SMK's were not 100% stable. I know what you mean about the 208's! I bought 500 of them for $20/100 when Midway had its' last big Blem bullets sale. Thanks for the offer on the lapping...

I've used 3 different powders, at many charge weights, trying many combinations of bullet/seating depth. So far, the only bullet that appears to work in this barrel is the 208 Amax. I took some...

Got the new stainless barrel from Douglas. Other than being stainless, the specs are the same, it's a 10" with 1 in 7 twist. The results are looking better, but I'm still not sure. I have some...

I'm still challenging anyone to put a pic of round bullet holes on a piece of paper, shot subsonic from a short barrel.

Mr. Silvers, surely you can come up with a target shot by one of your 9" uppers. I'd like to see the results with subsonic ammo.

I'm on the coast. Low altitude, high humidity. I doubt that helps. I'm shooting a 7 twist, and getting about 2.5" groups. But the holes are still not round.

Post pictures of your groups!

Prove to me I'm not crazy and that it IS possible to stabilize a 240 Sierra Matchking in a barrel 10" or less. I've never seen pictures of targets. I've been told by several people that a barrel...

If it's pistol position with Paladin gas block, you may try 2400. It is faster than the others, and cycles my rifle w/out a suppressor, which is set up the same as yours.

Also, Spook, I sen you a...

Just keep in mind that Trailboss is a pretty fast powder, and as such, the difference of a couple grains could be a safe load or could blow primers. Work up in small increments and watch for all the...

It would have a "cool" factor, and get some weird looks, but it would be pretty easy to load a 30/30 down to subsonic velocities and achieve the same thing.

They are the only bullet I've used thus far that will not feed from the magazine. 16 grains of VVN110 gets it to 2000 fps in a 10" barrel. OAL is only 1.65". This would be a pretty neat load if it...

Bullets were going into the sand and then turning sideways, so half of the bullet is "sanded" rough, impossible to see rifling. It's tough to get any data out of the 4 bullets I recovered. I called...
