I've got some Sierra 220gr round nose Pro Hunter bullets and most of a pound of 1680 you can have to play around with.
Give me a day or so and I'll find the load data for my .300 loads. They are subsonic and I've never really tested them past 50yds but it's an accurate load out of my 10.5 SBR with a 1in8 twist barrel.

I prefer 11.5 grains of 1680 and Hornady 208gr ELD. Don't know about hunting with that though. I would rather use Barnes Vortex 110gr for hunting.

If you don't want/need them anymore I'll take em. You getting out of .300 BLK?

Well I've got 500 on the way so hopefully I can test them out in the next month or two. I forgot how expensive standing up a new caliber is for reloading. I'm in for about $500 in just bullets, brass and dies. But that's for 1,200 bullets so I should be good for a while
I still need an optic for the rifle and have one picked out but I'm waiting for ebay discount Cabela's gift cards to buy it. Maybe I'll throw a random scope on it just for load development and so I can shoot it.

John Galt Speaking.
For subs, I like the Hornady 225gr.
Nope, not getting out of it. I just don't have the time to really devote to reloading right now. I have extra for when I start back up. I figured you could have these to play around with and see what you like.
If you will be around Sunday I can meet up with you.
Edit: Apparently I got more reloading done during my school break than I remember. I am out of 220gr bullets but do have some 1680 you can have.
I'm using 11.2gr of 1680 and when I put them over the chrono they were just under subsonic. I'm trying to find my chrono sheets now but I organized my stuff and can't find a damn thing now.

If you want subsonic for deer you need a 458 socom or other heavy bullet round. Once you set a speed limits the only way to get energy back is with mass.

Got these in yesterday. They're freaking YUGE! Pic is next to a 125 Speer TNT. I leave for a 2 week hunting trip on Saturday but first thing when I get back these are getting ladder loaded and taken out to 200 yds. I'll post some results when I finally get to shoot them.

Running subsonic they should be about 3 feet low at 200 yards if you are zeroed at 100 yards.
