I am going to have spine surgery in 2 weeks and anticipate having some free time to play around at my reloading bench. I reload 300BO for my gas guns, but I don’t have a bolt action 300 BO. I do have an 18inch bolt action 308 with a suppressor mount, hence, I am debating developing some subsonic loads for it. Covid really devastated my practice income so I don’t wont to spend any of my cash reserves. I have lots of cases and WLRP (not many SRP left).
So, I did a search online and found that the most common powder used is Trail boss because it seams to fill the case, I have bullets I use for 300 BO (Hornady 208 gr AMAX and a few 220 grain Sierra, I also have some coated lead bullets I got from TomKat). What is the collective experience with different powders for these loads?
