Thought I'd share some data about inexpensive 'blammo ammo' that is fun range fodder.
I have a Canik with a 5" barrel and a Carbine with a 10.5" barrel. I wanted to come up with a load to use in both. It had to be strong enough to reliably cycle the Canik and still be subsonic in the Carbine.
What I ended up with is 3.8 grains of HP38 under a 147 grain bullet. It's just range brass of all different brands, along with mil surplus I got in a 5 gallon bucket. Bullets are Berrys 147 grain plated and RMR 147 grain FMJ. In the carbine, the Berrys don't group very well, as I believe they are getting a little fast. RMR does better.
Anyway, fired 5 rounds through each gun through a chrono today. Results are below. Loudest part of the carbine is the action moving!

Pretty happy with it, as it seems to work great in both guns. Just need to use the RMR projectiles in the Carbine. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else is looking for a similar load to use.
