Shooting this out of a 16" AR Carbine. Dont need it to cycle the action. I'm new to the reloading game and want to know a few things.
First off, if I have a good supply of Unique can I use this as a good subsonic powder for my .223 loads? If not unique, what other powders would be best for making a subsonic load?
If I want to make .223 subsonic, I am assuming the heaviest bullets would be best for making a subsonic load? What weights or styles would you suggest?
And finally and possibly the most important question, how quiet will it be? I am in a situation that I need the relatively low noise of a .22LR/.22WMR, but the power of something bigger. I know under ~1200fps it wont have a sonic crack, but how loud will the round still be at the rifle? No hearing protection loud, must use hearing protection loud, startle the neighbors loud?
Thanks in advance for the help.
