Better clarify my own post here.
I could get it (trail boss and 55gn BTs) subsonic but it was not accurate. (2" at 50m)

what kind of accuracy are you getting with this load at 100yds . . . could be just what i'm looking for

cheers R

I haven't done a lot of load development on them but 10 shot groups are around 1.3" a friend uses AR2208 with much the same results.

@Shearer how many grains of trail boss for 55gn projectile? just mucking around this evening, had 75gr amax that wont group so started again with 50 24.5, 25 and 35,5 2206h just bout to play with subsonic 223 and trail boss but no idea where to start

Sorry @223nut. Not in a position to get to my reloading data at the moment. Will look when I can.

all good, went down to the range with the t3 and got a load sorted but forgot to boresight the rifle i plan on using the subs in so going to have to be another trip, happy with the 17hmr though, 0.8 inch at 100m
