This will keep the 3.8 grains of powder over the primer hole ensuring full ignition of the powder when the primer is struck.Ĭouldn't get a great photo, but the cotton should fully cover the primer and be significantly lower than the bullet base when seated.Īfter seating and crimping the bullet in the normal fashion, take a black sharpie and color the tip of the round black so you don't get them confused with your super-sonic ammunition. Using your punch tool, gently push the wispy cotton into the case. Stretch out the cotton so that it looks like a bad Halloween spider web - very wispy and airy. 22lr round at 1000 FT/s is 88.8 ft-lbs)Īfter charging your primed case with the 3.8 grains of powder, rip off a tiny piece of cotton from a cotton ball - (quarter shown for size comparison.) This gives me 1005 FT/s at 123 ft-lbs of energy. The cases were trimmed to 1.743" and the Over All Length (with seated bullet) is 2.220" using a Speer 55 grain HPBT projectile.ģ.8 grains of the IMR Trail Boss powder is what I fine tuned.

Here is a general step-by-step on making subsonic. So, after another full day of experimenting, I've landed with the best recipe I can make for a 55 grain round and my weapon platform. Wiliest birds I hunt, peacocks.I've been tinkering over the past few weeks trying to use different powders and loads to create the perfect (for me) subsonic. We also have big problems with feral peacocks, which scratch open our wrapped haylage bales, causing the bale to rot. On flat pasture with dams or lakes, public enemy number one. They are now a nationwide pest on a massive scale. We have terrible problems with these bird smashing spring pasture, and fouling the paddocks and dams, particularly in the low pastures reserved for ewes with triplets or twins.
Driving geese with dogs towards shotguns is quite common now. Couple of hard out sessions on the geese and they don’t want to come back anymore. Put three or four guns under their flight path in cover and collect a few more on their way out. If you observe them for a while you can see which direction they fly when they take fright. Shoot in pairs, get yourselves properly sorted out before you take your first shots and it’s not too difficult to take half a dozen between two of you, just gotta be fast. You have to tune your load to account for the extra suppression but that only takes a few minutes POI adjustment. It’s a big bird and not difficult to hit cleanly. 223 Rem with lots of DPT suppressor baffles, from a good distance.
