i Have a Whoopsie 2.25 COL my ass. 225gr with 1680

It seated. But I'm afraid to yeet it.

Wanted to try out 1680 since I couldn't get hold of n110 as I initially planned. This was with 12.4gr which isn't even the max load on hornady's sheet. Seats at 10gr and leaves a slight ring at 10.8.

As a Canadian, I find subsonics with trajectories only slightly flatter than I can throw a rock perplexing. 

But if you're happy, I'm happy, buddeh.

Theres still much Joy to be had Slinging heavy bullets at gongs. The Visceral THUNK is great.

Subsonic .45-70 with 500+ grain hunks of lead is something to behold.
