I am going to reload some for my .308 just for kicks, but if you are a reloader this might be a good option for you to load and keep around.

Good luck.
We were looking for subsonic .308 a few years back, and could not find a single brand that was consistently reliable, safe, and accurate.
That is a lot of case capacity to try and fill with something other than powder.
