    Starting building a new bench. Originally thought about extruded aluminum structure, but decided to go with lumber on hand. Some 4x4 legs, 2x4 and 2x6 framing, one surface A-grade plywood top.

    Loaded up some 300 Whisper subs this weekend. As I am loading for a bolt action I didnt have to stick with slow powders to make the gas system work.

    Settled on Bullseye for a powder and 215gn Bergers. There is about zero info out there for this combo, but I could find a little info on using the 220 Sierra Matchking.

    I tried 5.9-6.5 gns and my rifle did not blow up. No pressure signs such as ejector marks, flattened primer, difficult bolt lift, ect.

    As an added bonus, it was Hollywood quiet with my Thunderbeast Dominus. I have heard suppressed 22 rimfires that made more noise.

    Now to put some ammo over a chrono and check for accuracy.

    Just random numbers...

    With a 100 yard zero.

    About 45 feet of drop at 600 yards and the bullet will take about 2 seconds to get there. The bullet started out around 1050 fps and by the time it got to 600 yards it is still trucking along at just over 900 fps.

    With so much open space in the case I?m curious if you get a lot of velocity deviation. Please post chrono data when possible

    I don't have a load of experience with subs yet, but I did have a load of .300 blk that sounded like a nail gun. When you say Hollywood quiet, are you talking even more quiet than that?

    Yup. TimK was amazed, as was I. Quietest centerfire suppressed round I have heard.
