I'm kicking around the idea of reloading for the .50... and wondered how difficult it was to load subsonic ?.
I will probably order an Elite Iron suppressor for my AR50 in the next week or two... and figured subsonic ammo would be the most effective. Any tips, tricks, secrets, recipe's ? I'll have the RCBS 50bmg kit... CCI #35 primers and a bunch of Hodgdon 50bmg powder in the next week or two... This should cover standard velocity loads... but what will I need to load the slower stuff ? Will the 750gr Amax stabilize with an AR50 twist rate at subsonic speeds ? Lets hear some ideas. 
Thanks in advance.

Very impressive. What was your process on the load, did you experiment and work it up or did you find a source for the data? |

I know a guy who uses the same load though. The energy retained at 600 yards is amazing with those things. I don't reload for my 50 yet, only 308 and 223 so far, but will make some subs as soon as I start. |

Man it was awhile ago when I talked to that guy at the range. He told me his load and I looked it up and found that YouTube vid of the same thing and I saved it. I plane on tring it out myself oneday. The guy in that vid says he get right at 1000 fps but I remember the energy being way up there at 600 which is what has always stuck with me. |
