sub sonic .308

pitbull · Feb 23, 2016

Does anyone have a good local source for sub sonic .308 ammo. Thanks.

Arcamm · Feb 23, 2016

I would start with Duffy's.

TomKat Ammo/TK Defense in Gaithersburg. (301) 908-8082 They should have it in stock.

Tomkat had some I have wanting to try out.
Duffy's used to have some corbon, but I think they are out and can't get any more.

never knew such a thing even existed... kind of defeats the purpose of a 308 doesnt it?

Not really. I guess it depends on your intended use.
185 grain bullet traveling at 1000fps will still do damage.
Your jaw will drop at what you don't hear using subs and a good can.

Isn't this what 300 black is for?

Yea, well I don't have a 300. I have a 308. So there.

I don't recall where I purchased this ammo. It was years ago from a guy in TX. VERY quiet with a good can. So if you roll your own, here is the recipe.

One item of note. Out of my 24" bolt gun, this ammo drops about 11" in 100 yards.

I bought a box of Atomic .308 Subs but haven't shot any of it yet. I think I got it from CTD.

You're correct, of course. But adjusting a scope for subsonic loads is about a thousand bucks cheaper than a new rifle and scope.

It's all fun and games until someone gets all fiscally responsible and stuff.

Sweet! I can roll them, thanks! :thumbsup:

The suppressor manufacture AWC sells subsonic .308 rounds.

Have seen these rounds for sale on Gun Broker.

But then you need to adjust to go back to supersonic. Then adjust back for subsonic, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.

And many people LIKE to have an excuse for another rifle.

I think I've thrown rocks with less drop... :lol2:

Does the muzzle interfere with your aim point?
