Are you looking for subsonic loads or something to get out there with???
I'd look at 2400 in the 18-25gr range. I've been using 28gr of 2400 with 605gr bullets in the 510. Thats a subsonic load. If...

JD most definitely didn't invent the round but he did trademark the "Whisper" name. There were wildcat .30 cal's based on the .221 fireball and the whole 222/223 series not long after they came out...

Check with PTG for the reamer too. They do sometimes stock them. I think mine was a special order but it only took 4 weeks. (The 510 reamer was about 8 weeks....)

I don't know about the accuracy difference but the 2400 is quieter. I've been using it in the 300 and the 510 with very good results. According to chronograph data we worked up the 2400 has been the...

Thats a question with a lot of different answers depending on what sort of baffles, the diameter of the can and whether you are going to shoot supersonic, subsonic or both. You may start by using 1.5...

We loaded some 100gr plinkers and some 110gr .30 carbine tracers and they worked fine. Groups on the tracers were nothing to write home about but the 100gr bullets were right around an inch at 100. I...

Corbin sells the equipment to make the bullets from scratch. You buy dies, presses, copper tubing, lead wire, tungsten etc and make your own bullets. I'm sure you could modify others but the whole...

I did flute the barrel I made from your blank. I don't normally like fluting but my buddy wanted it to match the stock barrels. My barrel isn't fluted.

I guess the basic answer is that subsonic means its not armor piercing anymore. Once you drop the speed than you lose the capability you are looking for. If you want subsonics you'll have to deal...

As JonBlack noted you are much better off with a 60gr Aquila subsonic .22LR and here are some reasons why:

We've had pretty good results with 2400 and N110. In point of fact both of those work very well in the .510 as well. We had decent consistancy with H110 but only if we loaded and shot in the same...

In my opinion 1050fps is an ideal speed that everyone would like to hit. It allows the max energy while still remaining subsonic. The reason everyone seems to be loading to 1000fps is to allow for...
