So I notice that the LEE MODERN RLOADING DATA BOOK shows titegroup 2.7-3.1 loads for an AR15 MIDDY. also clays , trail boss. Is this ok dosnt seem right as F.P.S is only 950 ish. Or are these intended to be used suppressed? I was thinking that low church would come in handy when funds get tight.

Those loads are for sub-sonic rounds. They are very quiet and may not cycle the action fully. I think they can be used with supressors, but not sure.

They're subsonic, but not necessarily only for suppressors or for AR's.

Sometimes we want a subsonic cartridge for killing squirrels or just cheap and quiet plinking around the yard with little kids. This is a way to extend the usefulness of a rifle.

Is that for 9mm AR's? Cause that's about the load I use of clays for 9mm subsonic.
