Sub sonic 7.62x39 questions

[bradbn4]

Just a few years ago I did not think that there was such a thing...and to get sub sonic you had to reload your own.

The standard rule of thumb is to keep stopping power the same as supersonic ammo you need to increase
the weight of the round.

so my wild guess would be 200 grain or higher would be ideal - assuming the rifle can feed that size bullet / cartridge.

look on line for some free hand-reloading manuals and that might give you a clue of what is out there.

Based on the data in the link - check the amount of hold over at 200 / 300 yards. Going to say as most subsonic rounds
they are not designed for long distance. And for this round anything much past 100 yards is long distance.

there are lighter weight subsonic rounds - going to be - depends on what you are shooting at if they will have the
power rating you need.
