Looking to get into loading some .308 suppressed loads? have lots of brass and bullets to play with, thought about some sub loads for pigs maybe? Just dont have a short barrel bolt gun. Maybe some 190's or 220grn round nose bullets?

You can shoot any 308 ammo you want suppressed. What you mean is probably subsonic. I offer the 180 REX, 180 SP, 190 SUB-X and the 220 RN as a subsonic round. I prefer the 220 RN, but I sell a ton of the 190 SUB-X rounds. The 220 RN was the most accurate in my testing. But the 190 SUB-X is an expanding subsonic bullet. I've had good feedback on terminal performance with that bullet.

Yes, thats what i meant. Others tell me care in selecting certain barrel twists for your loads. Im only shooting about 80yds or so, even shorter for pigs here. thanks....

I have been wanting to load some myself. Seems like trailboss is the preferred powder. Haven’t been able to find any local

Barrel twist requirement is a function of fps and bullet length. You might try something in the 1:8 range.
