Scoop,
Good info! I'm out of new 308 cases right now and I usually start with new ones for load development so I haven't tried the titegroup in 308 yet. I overlooked it completely as an option in the beginning since it has such a fast burn rate but your post made me re-think this.
Since I was out of new 308, I picked up a can of titegroup and worked up a sub load for the 5.56 AR. I loaded 3.2 grains of Titegroup in a RP .223 case with a CCI standard small-rifle primer, standard flash hole, and a 60 gr. Hornady V-max to a COL of 2.235". The only case work I did was trimming and used no filler over the powder.
I still don't have my chrono repair parts so I couldn't check velocity, but they are definitely subsonic and very accurate at 35 yards (It was very rainy today and I couldn't go to the long range) with one ragged hole, no stringing, and no pressure signs. I only fired 10 rounds but they seem to be very clean as well. Obviously they don't cycle the AR, but I was just looking for a low-noise pest-control round anyway. Thanks for sharing the find!
I'll be playing with titegroup in 308 next, I can't wait to see how it works in my rig with 1/10 twist and a little heavier bullets. This could be the answer we've been looking for (well, me for only a week or so, but some for longer)
Thanks again, Ill post results as I get them!
