It’s the latter bang that causes hearing damage, reveals shooters’ positions, scares game, and works Mrs. Most of the noise inherent with shooting a rifle, however, comes not from the bullet breaking the sound barrier, but from expanding gases rapidly escaping the rifle’s bore.
SUBSONIC BULLET BACKWARDS CRACK
When a moving object, such as a bullet, breaks that threshold, there is an audible shock wave that sounds like the crack of a bullwhip. What is Subsonic Ammo?Īt sea level, the speed of sound is roughly 1127 feet per second. Still, subsonic ammo does fill an important niche for many hunters and shooters. Your rifle will still go bang, and none of this quieter ammo is powerful enough for hunting big game much past slingshot range.
SUBSONIC BULLET BACKWARDS FREE
Subsonic cartridges do produce less noise than full-velocity rounds, but there’s no free lunch-as usual. The label on the ammo box says subsonic, so this stuff won’t spook every deer in the county like your earth-shattering aught-six does, right? Well, sort of. But the 300 BO info my be useful to the OP.We may earn revenue from the products available on this page and participate in affiliate programs. When I shoot super sonic which is typically 16 to 18 grains of Unique or 2400 or maybe Trail Boss I always use a LRP.īut I use 13gr of Unique in my 500 S&W with LPP and they work perfectly. I have used the LPP in 30-30 cast loads too and they worked fine. When I did load developed the groups varied but none were larger than 2.5" which is plenty good enough for a 8" target. As long as the ammo can shoot accurately enough to stay on the steel that's fine. Our match target is a 8" round steel swinger. They worked just fine and at 50 yards I never noticed a difference in accuracy.
SUBSONIC BULLET BACKWARDS FULL
Naturally it does not work the action but that's good because we don't want to be chasing brass anyway.īack when primers were scarce I needed to conserve my LRP for full power loads so I tried LPP in my 54R sub-sonic cast loads. 50 yards is the range of our sub-sonic cast competition shoots so this is most important. So far I've only shot groups at 50 yards. I haven't loaded any small primer rifle except for 300 BO and I'm using standard SRP in them. if they dont work will i thought about trying to anneal the bullets to see if the soften up at all. these seemed like the best candidates and ill test them soon. i found that the Hornady 55 grain soft point has the thinnest jacket of all the bullets i tested (0.010" thick) meaning it might expand better at lower speeds, and the Speer 52 grain hollow point had the second thinnest jacket (0.015" thick) along with a wide hollow point and a very large hollow cavity. i also took a file to a few bullets to see which ones i think would expand well. but i have found one thanks to "Buffman_LT1" by "Maker bullets" i think it was just called "expanding subsonic" on their website ( looks like a Leigh Defense "maximum expansion" bullet). I have done a fare amount of research on different 223 bullets and its hard to find any that will expand at subsonic speeds. So basically it would have to be a "special purpose" bullet and there is no market for it.Ĭast powder coated bullets is probably your best option. 223 simply because heavy needs a fast twist rate and fast twist rate and soft bullet is a bad combination at high velocity. IdeaIdeally you would want a heavy soft bullet for sub-sonic use but you are not going to be able to find any in. Most of them list a description for each bullet detailing it's intended use and it's intended velocity range. 223 I suggest you go to the various bullet manufacturer web sites and do some research. They are accurate and expand well.įor you. if they made a v-max 22lr i would be contempt. but i think a 223 subsonic with a good bullet will be much more devastating.
