    300 blackout suppressed

    So I'm looking into building a dedicated suppressed upper in 300 blackout. Pistol length. I've narrowed down the world of suppressors to just a few that I'm looking at. Is there a "cheapish" 300 blackout plinker load that works with suppresors? I know heavier bullets but can I use a 150gr fmj in 308?

    Too lite. They won’t stabilize. You will might destroy your suppressor.

    What's the lightest bullet on average that will stabilize?

    I have 125 gr loaded for hog hunting. 10.5" SBR suppressed. They shoot as well as the 150's once you find the right load.

    Are these subsonic?


    My earlier post might have been off. Heavier than 220 and a barrel thats 1/8 might have problems stabilizing. Too lite of bullets will also have trouble. Always test without suppressors first.

    No! Only 200+ gr with 1680 for subs. These are super sonic.

    I have heard people going down to 180, but I wouldn’t try that with a barrel over 1/7 twist. I prefer 208 or higher. The best I have used is 220 boat tailed Sierra’s

    I have a 10.5" SBR in 300blk suppressed. I load and shoot the 150 gr fmjbt primarily. They shoot very well.
