Rifle manufacturers consider many factors other than bullet weight in deciding a barrel twist. Heavier bullets require a faster twist hence the popular twist for 300 AAC Blackout is 1:8 and may be as fast as 1:5. In general it is ideal for a subsonic bullet to carry more weight in order to regain some of the lost kinetic energy due to the very low velocity. We also have a subsonic hunting bullet for AK47 type rifles (7.62×39) In Europe the 300 Whisper cartridge gained popularity before the 300 AAC Blackout came about. Over time more speciality type rifles may appear. One example is the well known 300 AAC Blackout cartridge available in AR15 type configuration, in bolt action and also as a single shot rifle. Rifles that were specially created for subsonic bullet application contributed hugely to the sudden popularity. In recent times the popularity of Subsonic bullets increased dramatically.

It’s like the difference between a $500 car with no wheels or a $10000 with wheels. I realise that what I have described is an order of magnitude more in cost than what you were originally asking about but it is the minimum cost of fit for purpose subsonics for the 7.62x39.
#SUBSONIC 7.62X39 LOADS PRO#
Offer some sort of quid pro quo (LR primers are are sure bet right now) and a friendly local member of the forum will hopefully reach out to offer you some assistance.ħ.62x39 can usually be loaded with accurate subsonics using 150gr RN projectiles and trailboss powder. Put the word out here on the forum that your keen on having them reloaded, that you have purchased your own components but not the equipment. If after reading all of the above you are still keen on having subsonic rounds for your rifle then your cheapest option will be as follows.Ĭollect at least 20 reloadable brass cases. The rule being that if you can’t kill an unsuspecting animal with a sub then you probably can’t kill a frightened spooked with a sub. I prefer to have the first one in the mag subsonic and the balance of the mag standard velocity. I see their application as more of a ‘try not to scare other animals’ option as opposed to an ‘I can hunt in a place where I couldn’t without subs’ kind of option. For anything bigger than a hare I prefer not to rely on subs though. But they are quiet and used properly they do work. On this project in the original intention will be a sunk cost prior to spending money on a more reliable fit for purpose option.įirstly as a few have stated, subsonics are not reliable for stopping animals. Your idea works in theory but in practice it will be impractical and will not save you any money. I am not talking past your question, but rather talking past the middle of your journey to the conclusion you will inevitably reach if you go down the subsonic path but hopefully saving you the cost and time of the learning experience. I can appreciate your intentions, especially in the current climate of component shortages so please realise that I load 300 blk, 7.62x39.44mag and have also loaded 9mm all to subsonic velocities for hunting.
