Subsonic
Ammunition
A rifle fitted with a moderator, only suppresses the blast caused
by the escaping gasses from the muzzle. For the rifle to be almost
completely silent, it must use subsonic ammunition. (That is the
velocity must below the speed of sound.)
Unless the barrel has been replaced with one of a fast twist, long
heavy projectiles are not recommended. These projectiles will not
stabilize in a standard barrel and will prove to be inaccurate and
poor game killers.
Precision Reloading Services produces a range of calibers and loads
that prove to be accurate and good game killers. The projectiles
used are designed to expand at lower velocities.
The following loads are usually available ex stock on new
cases.

WARNING!
There is no guarantee that
these subsonic loads will cycle an automatic rifle. Do not attempt
to fire a second round until a clear bore has been confirmed. If
the barrel is not clear, the barrel will be bulged or split if
another round is fired. No responsibility will be accepted.
Other calibres and requirements are manufactured to specific
requests. Client’s fired cases may also be reloaded to
manufacture subsonic loads.
