Hi everyone. I a new member and thought I would start a discussion going on reloading this round. About a month ago I built two rifles because I was quite impressed with the versatility of this round. Additionally, a close friend who is in the military and is a special ops and sniper really got me interested also. Being said, there seem to be limited information on reloading this round and it seems the most popular powders are WW296, H110, IMR4227 and Hodgons "Lil Gun". Because I already had some, I'm using WW296 with 125 gr. Matchkings and Balistic tips and occasionally a Hornady 150 gr. FMJ. My loads have been 17grs for the 125's and 16 grs for the 150. Reloads have functioned well with only a few shot strokes in one of my new rifles which seems to have cleared itself. My question is, are there other powders that are slower in burn rate that might give a different pressure curve and help eliminate the shot stroking. From what Ive seen, I doubt that I could load any of the powders mentioned above in subsonic rounds without a supressor. I'm doing a lot of research on this round, but I would welcome any comments.
Thanks, i think I'm going to like this site as I've have been reloading, shooting and building AR type rifles for 30+ years and like to talk with anyone who has similar interest.
