for 308win, I have subsonic loads that clock up to 1100fps at 7000 msl here in dry colorado, but I try to keep them at 1050 or below to make sure I don't get the "crack"--I have never loaded subsonic pistol rounds other than the normal 230 grain  45acp loads

other thing to consider with subsonic loads is IF you intend to hunt with them you either need a long heavy rifle bullet that "flip-flops" on impact, or a short low-speed expandable bullet , otherwise you just punch a caliber sized hole and don't cause much trauma --- hunting distance is generally limited to 100Y or less with anything subsonic

for pistol, heavy soft cast lead bullets, or heavy soft HP bullets seem to work the best ---- for rifle I use long heavy flat base, round nose bullets so they tumble--BC will not really matter when it comes to sub sonic ammo

the actual sound you hear can vary quite a bit depending on lots of factors, from subsonic 22lr ammo (1050fps) through a dedicated 22lr can, the noise is similar to an air rifle-- but believe it or not, my subsonic 220 grain 308 win loads are even more quite than my subsonic 22LR loads -- the suppressor can make a difference but sometimes its the speed that the powder burns at, my 308 loads use a small amount of very fast shot-shell powder and are stupid quiet because all of the powder is completely burnt by the time the bullet exits--- heavier bullets usually take more powder to push them than lighter bullets when reloading--always use mag primers when loading subsonic ammo to make sure you ignite all of the powder since there is very little of it in the case---and only certain powders can be used as some can not be safely reduced due to pressure spikes

just buy one now, start the process--pay for the can, pay for and file for the tax stamp----and wait---IF the Share act is ever passed then you "might" get a $200 tax credit or refund for the stamp fee you paid

just saw yesterday that the HPA/Share suppressor bill has been pulled/shelved again from a vote on the House floor--it was supposed to be voted on this week,but due to the Las Vegas shooting, it was pulled --ani't gonna happen anytime soon guys

even though it was supposed to pass the house vote, it was supposed to flop on the senate floor vote due to it needing 8 more Dem supporters/votes
