Has anyone worked up a Sub-sonic load with the Hornady 395 gr Sub-X bullet, now that they have released it as a component bullet? The lowest velocity Hornady shows on the addendum page for their reloading manual with that bullet is 1300 fps. A call to the tech department revealed that they have a special multi-powder mix they developed and therefore can't recommend any loads for commercially available powder.

Thanks for finding that previous post for me. I searched prior to posting and did not find anything on the 395 gr. hornady Sub-x. I am running AR platform/suppressed, which of course adds potential cycling problems to the mix compared to bolt. I had previously worked with the Makers 350 gr and Accurate #9, but kept getting stability/keyholing problems at Sub-sonic velocities (AR barrel is 1:24).
