    Farrrrk me If I ain't allowed my ARs anymore I have just found what I want next. Would be great for extreme rabbiting.

    One shot and rabbits far and wide would just roll over and give up
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    Be about right wouldn't it? I run less than 6gr for subs in 308.
    Other loads between 46g and 51.6g

    Yeah but A sub 308 would be more use
    The drop on a sub 50 would be massive
    I ran it through shooter for a laugh

    I think a subsonic 50 would be quite useful but not in that rifle or on that case.
