As the title states wondering if anyone has any real life experience with these loaded as subs? I have a Rem bolt gun so not really concerned about cycling and I have starter data from the company. Just trying to save me some experimenting if possible.

Thanks in advance!!
 
Loaded some test samples, hornady brass full length sized trimmed and deburred, Accurate 1680 12.4 gr. C.O.A.L. 2.250" plans to test at 50 yards and see what drop is at 100 yards
 
12.4gn seems like maybe a little much, I was breaking 1100FPS using 11.8gn A1680 behind a 200gn mono bullet from a 9" barrel, and looking over notes typically gained ~50FPS shooting the same charge weight from a 16" bolt barrel over a 9" AR barrel.

I use A1680 in my ARs, but Lil'Gun seems quieter in the bolt action if that matters to you. Both work fine.
 
Thanks I was going just under max data from cutting edge, they said 12.5 would get 1,020 fps.
Only loaded nine up to chrono and see what drop there is from 50 to 100 yards.

I will try lil gun next I want as quiet as possible, I have shot 90 gr. Xtp with lil gun they are silly quiet. Do you have any load data for little gun for a heavy mono?

Well you were definetly right 12.4gr. In 16" barrel gave me 1,250 fps little hot for subs , guess I will try around 11-11.2 area
