(i hope) but i think that 17-18 grains should be sub sonic. it should also burn well too. i`d certainly try 17. hope this helps, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't need reducing much to get where you want to be and still have a useful cartridge. The OP might find that a slowish game cartridge might be just as quiet as a subsonic round but with much better performance. Hope your plastic wad doesn't stick in the baffles and ruin your gun when the next one goes thru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 18 grains of AS ? i still recomend fibre for moderated guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
