You can see on attached pictures, some of the slower shots on the BECK loaded REX bullets resulted in low hits. Weve been working on this for about 2 months.įACTORY BOX AMMO ~ PAST RESULTS and DATA SHEETS ATTACHED USING ~BECK SUBSONIC AMMO We plan on doing a tightly controlled ladder test in the next few weeks. Paul's bullets are exteremely concentric because we tested them, all of the necks have been turned so we will have consistent neck tension, we are opening the necks so they are not too tight, primer holes are also being opens and cleaned for a nearly perfect ignition. He is a precision shooter and we are analysing every aspect of this load to get it done to the best of our ability. Thankfully my PRS buddy is challenged by this project and he is going all-out balls to the wall to help me figure this out. My PRS buddy is using a 'Lee universal neck expanding dye' (recomended by Paul) to open up the brass in an attempt to eliminate that excessive neck tension. They expand and release all the energy into target. The subsonic Maker REX bullet is the most humane bullet I have seen, even better than sending ELDs at 2700 fps. We are in the camp.neck tension is the culprit. I know they fly great, I just need to eliminate the low flier I get every 3rd shot or so. With his precision mindset, my determination and with some help from a good friend and top PRS shooter I am trying to achieve 1in MOA with Paul's Maker REX violently expanding projectile. I really like the maker REX bullets the best because of there expanding properties so I am developing a load with the 200 grain version, Paul has been an amazing help at Maker. This is just awesome, so awesome that some guys wont believe me but thats ok.īut even with spectacular results from BECK 170FPs, it doesnt help me with expansion so I am still trying to improve on mu subsonic loads. At 200 yards I get consistent hits at a 6inch plate. I started to see some vertical spreading out that far, but I still get solid hits. That's about 14 mils for me and I did this with incredible repeatability. I am shooting 1000fps from a DTS 16' barrel. How good? I can shoot BECK loaded 170 FPs out to 350 yards. To date, I can 100% agree that flat points and bases, for some unknown reason, are much better at slow speeds than any other bullet design.

After seeing what these FPs can do, I can honestly say that these are the most forgiving bullets you can load for subsonic performance.

Ive done so much reading on subsonics and there is one thing I have read many times, flat top and flat bottom bullets are the best bullets for shootings subs. The 170fp is an amazing accurate subsonic round.

Ive tried BECK maker rex, BECK amax, different weights and only one solid winner as I explained above. These 170 FPs are just amazing right out of the box. Everything else Ive tried, including some developed loads I worked on with copper creek have a SD of 25 or more. 308 loads and the 170gr flat point gives me a standard deviation of about 14 out of the box. on this forum.īECK loads an amazing subsonic round, Ive tried nearly all of there. I can add something here, which is a rare thing.
