All of the Whispering going on around lately has me intrigued with trying some quiet VLD loads, but I don't want to invest in yet another .30 cal bbl & dies...I just want to get my "feet wet".
Has anyone had sucess in loading a psuedo-whisper in any other cases?
My current bbls are 1-10 & 1-12 twists, so I know I can't go too heavy (maybe 200gr). I also know that there are dangers in loading "small" charges in "big" cases, but I don't think that should be too hard to work around with a 30 Carbine or 30-30 case (I think it wise to avoid the 30-06 for this experiment).
Whats the case capacity of a .30-221, anyway? Since its based on the .221-.223 brass I assume that it maxes out at around 50000-52000 cup...but has anyone seen acurate pressure specs for subsonic rounds?
Any info will be appreciated.
TIA,
Mike
