I ran some tests on paper and it was reasonable, shooting about a one-inch group at 25 yards. It passed the first tests of hitting the plate and being quiet, but would not cycle the AR action. If I found one I liked, I put it on paper to see how it performed. Some loads I tried would not hit the steel. It was definitely quiet and I judged accuracy at this point of experimentation by trying to hit an eight-inch plate at 25 yards. Hodgdon publishes a subsonic load for Titegroup starting just under this charge, and I found it would go sonic with just a few more grains. I started with 5.4 grains of Titegroup because my Dillon was throwing that for loading my. My thought was the heavy bullet and shorter barrel would aid in reducing velocity mechanically. 22 bullet through a 1:7 twist AR-platform rifle with 16-inch barrel.
All these loads were shooting a Nosler 80-grain. Nosler 80-grain bullet and Titegroup performed best with subsonic velocities but would not work the AR action. You might even come to the conclusion that subsonic ammo is not worth the effort. I take no responsibility for misuse of this information. I did not experience anything bad, but if you start down this path, understand there could be problems. A few guys had projectiles get stuck in their suppressors or hit the sides going through, causing damage. I tried several loads and some failed miserably in that they wouldn’t work the action even after they were well above the sound barrier velocity.īefore I get into specific loads, I must mention there are some real horror stories from others working with subsonic loads through their suppressors-both factory and handloads. I have loaded subsonic rounds and they are really quiet in an AR-platform rifle, but they have some downsides, the major one being they will not work the action at subsonic speeds. 223 was designed with the intention to move a small bullet fast. Chronograph indicated when a load had unacceptable reading velocities, which varied over 100 fps from shot-to-shot of a specific load. 223, as there are other excellent calibers that were designed to be used with subsonic ammo. 22 Long Rifle like we can our larger calibers, but we can reload for subsonic results.
I use these in semi-auto guns on my trapline because they don’t pass through the animal creating an exit wound, but I have to manually run the action. As velocity and pressure decrease, so does the ability to run the action. I tried some Remington Subsonic ammo, which is really quiet, but it sometimes does not run the semi-auto. 22 rifles and pistols for long rifle loads. As the velocity is Standard, it functions-at least theoretically-in all. It is very accurate and works the Ruger 10-22 semi-auto action. Remington High Velocity runs around 1,280. 22 Long Rifle runs out at about 1,200+ fps. 22 is the most popular because it can be used to eliminate pests (non-human) in a suburban environment without causing a stir. Suppressed pistols are much quieter than rifles because most of them are already traveling subsonic and the. Subsonic rounds performed well in the bolt gun, but high-velocity rounds were adequate in the sound department without all the challenges of subsonic. If the bullet exceeds this speed, there will be a crack. The magic speed is just under 1,100 feet-per-second (fps). One reason the sound is not completely suppressed-especially in rifles-is the sonic “crack” that is heard as the bullet breaks the sound barrier. Subsonic ammo quiets the weapon even more, but at the cost of other benefits. Silencers don’t exist in the real world, only in the movies. They don’t silence the bang to an undetectable level, so silencer is an incorrect term. Truth be told, suppressors do just that, suppress the fast-moving gasses that cause the bang when the gun is fired. I know-they were put there to keep bloodthirsty assassins from committing horrible murders undetected, and it has done much to keep these crimes in Hollywood movies and not on our streets. In my opinion, they never should have been put on that list to begin with. They are so popular a push has begun to take them off the NFA list of regulated weapons. Suppressors have become extremely popular, and more folks are reaping the benefits of suppressed shooting.
