Any Subsonic loads for a 200gr SMK?

I've looked at the Sierra data, and their slowest listing is for 1100FPS with the 200 gr SMK, and a statment "Loads less than minimum charges shown are not recommended".

Got a couple boxes of the 200 gr SMK's left over from a 300RUM project, thought I could us them with the 300/221. Kind of ironic, trying to find a subsonic use for bullets I was trying to drive as quickly as humanly possible. With the RUM, I discovered that I really didn't enjoy recoil all that much.

Try 6.8-7.0 grains of aa#5. I use this with 208 gr amax out of a BOLT GUN and it is super quiet and accurate.

I have had good luck with AA 1680 with both 220gr bullets and 150gr bullets. As an added plus it cycles the action on my AR.

Ive been playing with H4227 and H322 for 200gr subsonics and both work really well as they cycle an AR reliably.

I have settled on W296 as the best powder with H4227 as a backup. These powders seem to be the most reliable with a wide operating range.
