    Anyone know of any manual or place that has reduced 308 loads?
    If not, any suggestions on where to start?

    Thanks

    Thanks. Will leave this here in case anyone needs it. Don't know how I didn't find this earlier.

    I used to have a couple of pistol caliber chamber adapters for shooting 32ACP and 7.62 Tokarev pistol cartridges in 308 and 30-06 rifles. Very handy for not blowing up a rabbit when out deer hunting with the 3006

    Beck Ammunition makes subsonic .308 loads. 12 inches of drop @ 100 yards, vs supersonic. Honestly the quietest factory load of any caliber I’ve ever shot.

    Some shoot cast bullets . H4895 as mentioned above can run a 150gr jacketed @ 30/30 level accurately without much work . Cast I like 180 - 220gr in 30 cals .

    I have some 308 atom bombs. Gonna try and see how they work today if I can get this flash hider off myself and slip the can on the 308 for the first time.
    I'm curious if she will cycle them in my semi auto. A 308, and 300 bolt gun are on the list soon too.

    Never tried them (loaded my own) but yes you can.

    I have wondered about running some of the 200+grain sub projectile.

    I have shot a 308 that was suppressed with subs( store bought). It was quieter than a break barrel pellet rifle.
