[QUOTE="Lowlander, post: 2137679, member: 115963"] I have never used Titegroup for anything other than pistol cartridges, works great for my 45acp. I would definitely do a lot of research first, avoid Kabooms and squibs at all costs. If it were me, I would shoot Hodgdon an email about how to proceed. If they list a subsonic load for 223 then I would check with them on it, safest bet imo. I've never considered loading 223 subsonic, though I have heard of it. If you intend to speak to Hodgdon regarding subsonic 223 loads, you may want to inquire about heavier bullets too? I'm thinking going heavier would be a benefit to loading subsonic. Just out of curiosity, what are you wanting to load subsonic 223 for? Plinking or suppressor use? ETA: I think the only possible use for powder with a burn rate as fast as Titegroup, i.e. "pistol powders" would be for very low charges for subsonic loads. As Buster Hemlock pointed out, it's extremely dangerous in the event of a charge over subsonic charge weights. So much so that many reloaders will not even mess with the subsonic loads just because of the increased risk of an overcharged round. Or just as bad, an undercharged squib followed by another round fired. [/QUOTE]
