[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 391661, member: 704"] Fishing and hunting is good, how about just plain shooting? I'm waiting for sunrise to gobtestvsome subsonics in my suppressed 308. My go to has been Hornady 180g round nose over 10g of Trail Boss. That's good to 300 yards. So now Hornsdy has Sub-X bullets. I bought 200 of the 175g and loaded them up with 10g of Trail Boss. Something about the bullet requires more powder. Then they came out with 190g and it has a boat tail. Heavier, more aerodynamic, and opens at very low velocity. I abandon the 175g and loaded up new 190g. This time I loaded 10.3g of Trail Boss. Still only good to 200 yards by my standard of being able to reach 300 yards using my reticle. So yesterday I loaded 10.5g of Trail Boss and today I'm waiting for enough light for my chronograph. By the way 10.3g of Traim boss was 983 fps. Everything in North Dakotavis under 2500 ft elevation so I want 1060 fps. Sound barrier is 1116 fps at sea leve so I want to back off a little to compensate for our elevation. I'm not sure what the sound barrier is here, but my old loads at 1030 fps broke the sound barrier at 6000 ft. [/QUOTE]
