I walked into the LGS several months ago and bought an older (I estimate 15 to 20 years) integrally suppressed Remington 700 in 308. It was made by BGW in Gun Barrel City Tx. From what I can tell by putting a cleaning rod down the bore, it seems to have a 1 in 12 twist and a very short internal barrel 12" to 14". Unfortunately I can't find any tech specs on the gun and so far, haven't been able to disassemble it. Does anyone have any tips on coming up with a subsonic load for this gun? I'd like to shoot a max of 300 yards relatively accurately. I am assuming that I will need to stay with lighter projectiles so all the 180 grain and above stuff is out. I've also been looking toward Tightgroup and Red Dot as Trail Boss is unobtanium. I have been looking at teaming this up with a 168 grain SMK. The Hodgdon website has a load for this. I am concerned about finding a load that is stable in the gun as I can't exactly leave the can off in the beginning to see if it is keyholing.
Any tips, tricks, guidance, is much appreciated!
