Thread: Trailboss 308 150gr load.

Finally got to the range to test my Trail Boss loads today.

Tested 3 batches from 9, 8.5 and 8 grains of trail boss. Tested the first few shots of each batch to check for key holing and tumbling but none was apparent.

With my DPT Suppressor the 9gr sounded to still have a slight crack but was not very loud. I did not have a crony so was just going by sound to judge when I was subsonic.

With the 8.5 and 8 gr loads there was no crack and such a minor clap it was awesome. I had a mate shooting his suppressed .22 CZ next to me and I got 3 bystanders to state which was quieter the suppressed .22 or my 308. 2 of them said the .22 by a small amount and one couldn't tell the difference. I do agree the .22 sounded a lil quieter still but it was so close it doesn't really matter. Im happy.

Next is to test for accuracy and run thru a crony on the 8 and 8.5s. Will try the 9s again as im certain they should be subsonic.

I was shooting these thru my Spanish FR8 using a DPT 30cal, muzzle forward modular suppressor.

I also made up a full charge of TB (14.2grs) to use as a low recoil/low noise plinking round.

That TB is the bee's knee's!

Cheers
