    Absolutely. I've been to classes where we move back to the 50 and the 100.

    We make a regular habit of shooting pistol at the 50 and every so often out to 80 or a 100, so it was no biggie to me.

    Trying to reignite this thread for reload information on subsonic ammo. It will be used for single shot pistol and some M4 operation. Am familiar with the EBR ammo and it works great, but looking to reload my own.
    Thanks,

    Normally subsonic 223 SUCKS. I recently got ahold of some .Mil contract subsonic ammo with a 150+ grain bullet. I was EXTREMELY impressed with it. The down side to it is that the cost is like $7 per bullet.

    A 150gr .223 bullet? Got a picture of a pulled one? Must look like a javelin.

    My thoughts exactly. I am betting he was referring to some .308 ammo. I saw a 100gr available at Extreme Shock and thought that was long looking. 150Gr, good grief, that must be as long as a pistol barrel.

    150gr! I forgot the formula, but being that long, you'd have to need a 1 in 4 twist barrel to stabilize it!

    Is there every any need for a "filler"?
