Need subsonic load for .44 Magnum - The Firearms Forum

wolfhunter · 11-19-2007, 05:29 PM

I am searching for loads for the .44 magnum case with jacketed bullets, 200 to 300 grain bullet range. Searching for something in the 950 to 1000 FPS range with fast burning powder to be used with integrally suppressed rifles. Anyone have any data on their most quiet loads? Thanks.

In my suppressed Ruger 77/44, I use a Sierra 250 gr. silhouette bullet with 9.0 gr of Trail Boss for 1,000 fps and great accuracy at 100 yards. Trail Boss is prefect for subsonic loads as it almost fills the case without producing high pressures. Good Luck.

7.5 grains of Unique and a 240 gr. bullet will stay subsonic from a rifle barrel.
