kawi kid Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I'm not gonna worry about threading right yet. I'm just curious as to if I can make them work, if I can then I'll worry about that later. I'm just looking for fun factor right now. I think r1 crusher is the same way.

flounder Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 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.With subs in my rig about 300 is max due to velocity/ bullet stability/and scope adjustment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I just keep reading stuff that's basically saying to not bother trying subs in a .243. I don't think threading my barrel will be any issue as it's a factory SS bull barrel and has plenty of material.I just don't want to go through the expense of getting it threaded and then not achieving something stupidly quiet (read damn near silent). The lack of silencers specifically for this caliber is also a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No different then me using my .30 on my 5.56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of silencers specifically for this caliber is also a challenge.While shooting subs has quite the giggle factor (literally, I giggled like a little kid the first time I shot flounder's with subs), the noise reduction with supersonic ammo is pretty impressive. Hell, I just shot my suppressor for the first time today and I'd be just as pleased even if I never shot it subsonic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
