5.56 SUBSONIC FULL

30-caliber is hands down the more suppressible of the two, with ample subsonic loads available. 300 Blackout is less finicky about barrel length and is excellent out of SBRs. 22-caliber also performs better out a longer barrel. This added weight makes them naturally slower than a 110-grain bullet fired through the same barrel, even if the heavier bullets are charged with the same type and amount of gunpowder as a corresponding supersonic load. Thanks to its higher velocities, the 5.56 is much more adept at longer ranges. 300 BLK really shines), barrel length can be an afterthought, particularly if you plan on using a suppressor.Something like a 7. 300 AAC Blackout loads usually weigh between 180- and 220-grains. If it works I can get a good 1-7 twist barrel to modify. SIG SAUER - MCX 300 Blackout 16' Black - 1616. Based on the data above, it appears that for subsonic loads such as 220 grain (where the. If you want to run 5.56 through a shorter barrel, you need to be prepared for increased muzzle flash and increased noise. 5.56 was designed to be used with longer barrels, and reaches optimal performance through a 20 barrel. If I use an adjustable gas port I can also use (maybe) standard ammo. The ability to use subsonic ammunition, along with a suppressor can give you an extremely quiet firearm. Installing the new gas port is simply a matter of reducing barrel diameter to.

That gives near ideal velocity and full powder burn, usually in the 3,100 to 3,250 fps range. I can lighten the buffer and shorten the spring (like I did for subsonic 450 socom) to help ensure it cycles. 5.56 was built to run out of a 20-inch barrel. I figure that putting a gas port about 2' downstream of the 5.56 chamber might make the bolt carrier cycle properly with subsonic 5.56 using 7 gains of H110. It uses about 9 grains of H110 to push a 240 grain bullet at 1050 fps. My SBR SSK 300 whisper barrel gas port is about 2.75' downstream of the chamber. You have way too much case capacity and you will need a powder that fills the case at least 50 in order to avoid some destructive booms and also to help improve consistent ignition. This leaves me with a barrel to play with. 223 loads you don't just pick a powder and decide to load subsonic with it. I have an extra 11.5' barrel that doesn't have the right twist rate ( I think it is 1-12) for use with 62 grain ammo in my SBR at supersonic velocities, so I replaced it with a 1-7 twist.
