Has anyone used AS30N? Does it fill the case a bit more? I've heard 50-60% is the max you should go without filler.
Noise is a concern, but so is meat damage, but it should be at least as lethal as a 1200fps 40gn 22LR Hollow-point: Which is going to meet the requirements better I wonder ? Heavy 90gn@1070fps or 40gn at 1800fps in a 1:8 twist 16.5" barrel....

Nuthin wrong with my opinion and Ill continue to freely express it SCJ429
Ive successful downloaded a 7.62x39 to around 900fps with TB with a sound similar sound to a meaty 22 so threads on subsonic load interest me.

A subsonic 223 load just makes little sense for so many reason which plenty of otherwise have already pointed out.
Happy to have my posts challenged or criticised, safety is paramount to me and those around me

There is no obligation for you to read it or post on it if it doesn't interest you. You wouldn't go to a golf forum and tell them how pointless you see their game, would you?

I was looking at them a few weeks ago. Mostly seem to be about 6" barrels, so results would be low velocities and at best average accuaracy.
