Started with Starline brass, Winchester primers and some 208 grain Hornady blems from Midway for the subsonics using W296 and published loads from Sierra. Everything chronographed fairly consistent around 975 for the starters and 1070 for loads closer to the higher end while remaining below supersonic. Happy with those results, but the accuracy is not quite there yet. About 1.25 inches at 50 yards. Not to my liking. More work needed. Maybe try some other bullets and weights. On the supersonics though, I am well pleased. First try with starting load of W296 and Speer 130 grain hollow points right around 2,025 fps and 10 shots through one ragged hole at 50 yards. That's more like it. Everything is low recoiling and the subs are like shooting my 10-22 (maybe a slight exaggeration, but not much). I'm sure things are going to come together and it's going to be a lot of fun. Had a good day letting a few rounds fly. Thanks again for all the advice!
