Well, I do know that my next can will be .30 caliber and that I'm switching barrels using a Savage action. I will certainly be shooting supersonic with both cartridges. But I'm also looking to experiment with some subsonic reloading for these rounds too.
It would also be nice if I could find a subsonic hunting round for these two as well. I would assume that they would have the same expansion problems that the Whisper has, correct?
My .308 barrel is a done deal right now. It's a 26" tube 1/10 twist. I haven't bought the .223 yet. You say I should go for fast and short? What length? Is 1/8 fast enough? 1/7?
Thanks,
Paul
