Shoot at my house Sunday the 12th.

[flounder]

It was a video of him and I just wanted to lack of noise he was making documented lol

What would have been fun is if I went up by the truck and fired a round while everyone else was down by the garage door and couldnt see me. All anyone would have heard was the thwack on the steel. It gives a much better idea of what its like shooting with a can. Shooting subsonics suppressed always makes people giggle. Now doing the same thing, shooting from a hidden position when no one knows where your at but yet they are by the target makes people go "holy shit" when they realize what you can actually do with some subs and a can.

I want some references for 243 whisper stuff and I think r1 crusher does too

He keeps saying it's from shoot which is true but only part of the story. It's because he's spanking his pud.

Now the truth comes out as to why he was taking so many pictures with his phone of Flounder!

<-- I don't know why but put a camo hat on and it would look like kawi.

Oh I'm def. in.

I gave you 20 spent rounds, work me up some sub shit boy!

[walther_gsp]

Yeah when you load a good subsonic, the round hitting the target is about the loudest thing you hear. Especially when your shooting steel.

How about you load up some FL sized subsonics and show up to TVP say mid day on Friday I'm gonna spend the day playing with my new can, maybe help a buddy get some good dope for his DMPS SASS.

[kawi kid]

You buy the supplies ill work my magic lol

Cant man.. Gotta work. Load some 180grain Hornady round nose with about 10 - 10.5 trailboss and you will be good.

It's called a vacation day. Apparently my boss thinks shooting my new suppressor is a perfectly good reason to take a day off.

corbon makes factory sub sonics and its loaded in lapua brass with cci benchrest primers

[r1crusher]

If flounder keeps talking gun shit I'm gonna shoot a giant wad all over him next time I see him.

You tell me what you need kawi and I'll get it acquired.

Im waiting on flounder to tell me how to do it lol

Load a heavy bullet that your gun can stabilize with only enough powder to get it going just under the sound barrier, shoot in a gun with a can. Now get to it.

[r1crusher]

Yeah, right. Next thing you know you have a blown up .243 or a stuck bullet in your barrel. I know you're smarter than that Thomas.

I've been doing some digging and found this thread, could be a good starting point.

Im a bit on the drunk side right now so ill read it tomorrow. I don't think encouraging me to load right now is a good idea lol!

Actually, what I posted was pretty spot on, simplified for sure, but accurate. obviously, you'll want to start with a recommended or published load.

[kawi kid]

The can will be for the 22 first just for giggles. Tom when we building us some mini guns?

[flounder]

Really Tom is right.. for subs you tend to load a heavier bullet that you can still stabilize and use an amount of powder that keeps you as close to 1050fps as possible. speed of sound is 1115fps at sea level so 1050 helps with temp and air pressure and density change. also you generally use a powder like trailboss. I have a cronograph if you ever want to do it and test them. Its a bit harder to get that movie sound quiet with a fast round like a 5.56 or .243. Its allot easier with the bigger heavier rounds/bullets.

[kawi kid]

What do you look for in powder? I know some burn slower some hotter all different what's best?

[walther_gsp]

Really Tom is right..

That never gets old....

[kawi kid]

I hope you got my picture last night lol

Depends on the round you are trying to load subsonic for. Typically, it's a slower burning powder that will also take up more volume by weight.

[kawi kid]

So say a good 100gr. bullet and some slower burning powder. This is going to completely throw my scope off damn it!

Personally, I'd get that barrel threaded first before I worried about subsonic loads. Actually, I'd replace it with a varmint contour threaded barrel. Yes, it will throw your scope off. If I recall, Flounder had enough elevation travel in his scope to get to 1000 yards (prior to barrel cut), but with subsonic I think he only could get to 350 or so.
