[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1933377, member: 101755"] Ok...I'm thinking we are not on the same page. I started off with the gas block closed enough it would never hold open after the last shot. I know the case is staying in the chamber a long time. The cases are not totally covered with carbon like I'm used to seeing. That said, I still have slight signs of "chamber" pressure. [ATTACH type="full"]201351[/ATTACH] I never see the ejector mark (little circle on each case head) nor the primer burn through at the firing pin strike. Notice on the middle case, row 2...you can see how much metal flowed back around the firing pin. The loads in these cases are now comfortably below max. As for subsonic...not sure the Grendel is a good choice. I have a 300 BlackOut that is movie quite with 220gr hand loads. Most reports on sub and pigs...when the bullet hits the sounder is off and running...sounds great in theory but not in reality. Thanks for all the posts. I do like the fact the brass is coming out with less carbon and it stays on target better. So the gas block was a big plus. [/QUOTE]
