308 subsonic

[rumlover]

I shoot a thundertrap on the 16" krieger and a 762sd on the 10" pistol so fillers won't be the solution unless there is something that will easily dissolve the residue in the can. The 308 expense is what I'm looking for. I have heard of some folks buying 223 brass and reforming it with a die, then fire forming it in the chamber as a cheap way to get into the 300. I don't have any interest in another expensive speciality caliber. The 50 alaskan I got is about as much as I'm willing to spend per round as I would like to be able to afford to shoot a lot. I chose it because the straight walled case will last about 12-14 reloadings v/s the 7-8 necked cases in 50 cal and the brass is half the cost and readily available.

Any idea what's the shortest length of 300 Whisper barrel I'd have to have to get a 240 SMK to 1100?

I'm going to order some of the IMR SR4759 and AA#9 to see what I can come up with for the 308. I'm also going to return to Gander Mt to buy the Accurate 2415 (or somethig close to that) that was labeled specifically for low volume loads. As for the unique, I loaded 5 rounds of 14 gr behind the 240's tonight for the pistol. I'll post results when I get back from our lease in tejas and Lousyana...hopefully with some subload results form hogs.
