Re: Making subsonic .223

IF I were going to do this, I'd go with the Trail Boss powder. It was made for this exact purpose - safe low velocity "cowboy" loads. It's very bulky, so you avoid the potential of detonation that you would have with such reduced loads with ordinary powders.

While it's designed to work best with cast bullets, I've read of folks making low velocity jacketed rifle rounds. Usually they're reduced loads for bolt-action hunting rifles. There was an issue of Handloader Magazine (April 2010) with an article about doing this very thing.
