| I got some trailboss and 180 round noses' to make some 308 win subsonic loads. I'm not new to reloading but I'll never say I know it all either. Are there any tips to reloading sub's beside working down instead of up? |

Been there already. Wanting to know the safe starting load.  Is there such a thing. How much is to much or to little with TB? I'll be using a remington 5R if it matters.

http://www.imrpowder.com/PDF/Trail-Boss-data.pdf You can go all the way to max if you want but if I were you, I would start with 12-13 grains and work down in .5 increments. Chances are you will end up with a load listed in the other thread. I think my 5R liked 10.5-11 grains but I have to check my notes. |

My 5r likes 10.5-10.7 Gr of Trailboss YMMV I started at 12.5 Gr and worked my way down. Be sure and Chronograph your loads when you get to 1000 fps I would try and go for consistancy. PS If you are planning on using these loads with a suppressor be sure to test without it and watch for keyholes.  |
