7.62X39 odd load data?

[red caddy 51]

I've built an XP100 in 7.62X39, 15 inch barrel. very accurate with 100, 110 and 150 Gr. bullets.

I've come across a cache of .308" 165 and 200 Gr. bullets that I'd like to try subsonic.

The local hog population has gotten very sensitive to muzzle blast, jeeps, trucks and tractors don't bother 'em a pound, but lite off a .223 and they're gone in a new York minute. A "Verwy, Verwy qwiet" accurate subsonic thumper could be a game changer...

What I need is load data for the heavy thumpers, or, at least some safe starting points. AA1680 works best for all my super sonic stuff, but heavy subsonic is a whole 'nother thing for me. I've read that fast pistol powders are the hot lick, but I've no idea wear to start. Thanks, paul.

Nobody is playing with this round, subsoic?

Did I post this question in the wrong forum?

Did I miss laundry month again?

Just askin',

Hey Red,
Where ya getting the brass from for your 7.62x39?
Boxer or Berdan primed?
I've been considering reloading for my AK's & SKS. The price on Wolf & Tiger 7.62x39 has come down a little however, availability is still a little tight.

Thomae, thanks for the response, 2 of those links were knew to me and very helpful.

Fgw, The head stamp is IMI, boxer primed, anealed neck's, unfired. I bought 3000 rounds,(~,03/round) bulk, from Brigade Quartermasters or cheaper than dirt, IDRW, about 15 years ago. (insert the "old fart" joke of your choice here) I've heard rumors of S&B selling, brass case, loaded rounds, but I've not seen any personally.

I was able to snag some winchester loaded ammunition, have 80 rnds, traded some 40sw for it. Also have some PPU. I purchased some Lapua brass from Midway usa. It appears much better than the other two I have. Bruno Shooter supply sells it by the case, I ordered a few there just to see quality, and it was. Havnt been able to find any IMI yet.
