If you want a subsonic to plink with and don't want to pay premium fees from EA/VG/RRWS to load FMJ's this is a very solid load from Fiocchi. It will go super in 16" guns though. 5.7x28mm, 62gr FMJ, Fiocchi Range Dynamics (57sub62) |

This 62gr load is questionably stable in the 5.2" threaded barrels and really needs the 5.5" or longer. Now the P50 is 1:7, I will work up an M855/A1 load and see how it goes.
