This video details an experiment to achieve subsonic velocities with 300 Winchester Magnum ammunition using Hodgdon Trail Boss powder and 208-grain bullets. The instructor tests various reduced charge weights, documenting chronograph readings and impact shifts. While subsonic velocities were not achieved, the experiment highlights the challenges of loading large-case magnum cartridges for suppressed use and identifies a promising reduced-recoil load capable of stacking groups.

This segment from Gun Talk Radio discusses the ongoing shortage of gunpowder and reloading components. Aaron from Hodgdon Powder explains that while production has increased significantly, demand is several times higher, making it difficult to find supplies. He emphasizes that consumers should be flexible with powder choices and utilize available load data, as multiple powders can often work for a given caliber. The discussion also touches on the high demand for muzzleloader propellants, particularly Blackhorn 209, and the challenges in its production.

This segment from Gun Talk Radio discusses the basics of handloading ammunition, particularly with simple tools like the Lee Loader. John Varsnest explains that while modern reloading can seem intimidating, basic kits allow for the creation of accurate hunting ammunition with minimal equipment. He highlights the cost savings and the ability to tailor loads for specific rifles and shooter comfort, such as reducing recoil for new or younger hunters.
