Curious how low any of you have gone with trailboss in 223 with 55s.

8 grains of TB will shoot about 1 inch groups at 100 yds with 55 grain hollow points in my bolt guns. It's almost quiet enough to shoot without ear protection. I'd like to drop it even more as long as it will still group to 50 yds and be quieter.

My idea is to have a load I can carry on my trap line in places that are within earshot of people's homes. Carry full house loads in the rifle on the snowmachine, and a mag of sub sonics in my pocket. Still need to have 100+ yd capability when I'm out on the river for coyotes, wolves,etc., and not need another firearm.
