.308 Subsonic
Does anyone have load data for .308 subsonic rounds. A friend has a Rem. 700 equipped with an AWC Thundertrap suppressor that is just wicked with SS ammo.

I am sure you will not find any SS rounds. Your slowest velocity rounds would be of the cast lead variety. I have gone back to 1953 reloading books and the slowest bullet loads i found were 1355 fps. Sorry. vangunsmith

check out Trailboss powder
your going to have to start super sonic (13 grains over magnum primer w/ 150 grn bullet)
and work until it drops under the speed of sound

IMR 4759 and the bullets you want to use, should be among the most accurate and quiet.

1725fps is the slowest I got with a 150rn out of my CZ550. Used 12gr Somchem MP200 with a cotton wad. Accurate as hell too!!! I think Lapua loads an SS round......
