.308 subsonic ammo. recommendations please

[donmorgan66]

OK every one helped me choose a .308 bolt action rifle. I'm going with a savage with 20 inch barrel. 1:10 twist. I have a Gemtech tracker. What have you used that's quiet and shoots well in your rifles? Will probably only shoot no further than 100 yards. What's working for you ? I don't handload so factory ammo only please and thank you.

Look up some stability calculators online where you can input your rifle and bullet parameters and see what they say. I would try more than one, and compare.

Then find some ammo and shoot it at the ranges you plan on using and see how it does (keyholes, grouping, etc vs. supersonic appropriate to your twist rate).

I shot alot of atomic 308 for work, I couldn't reload per my employers rules. The atomic was very accurate and consistent with fps. I have some left over id give you if you where closer. I have no use for it anymore

I'd purchase it if you wanted to sell. I'm having hip replaced I'll have 12 weeks off but don't know when I can drive that far. Email me if you like. I can make a Abel for you from UPS but it has the dropped at a UPS hub usually

Let me look and see how many are left

Not sure if anyone commercially makes reduced power loads for 30-06 that are subsonic. But if you are open to handloading (which you indicated no) it opens up more interesting possibilities.

Most subs aren't very stable in a 1:10 due to velocity required for stability.

I've keyholed at 50 trying to make subs on 210gr munitions.
