    would it be possible to reload a 12 gauge subsonic cart for a hushpower?

    Most of the commercial carts are barely over the sound barrier at 1400fps or so. It would be very easy to drop the powder charge to give you around 1000fps.

    Of course. The simplest way is to take a recipe that uses a relatively fast powder which generates relatively high pressures and download it a grain or two so that it is still burning completely but the speed has dropped. Vectan AS is ideal for this in the average 12gauge recipe, all relative to the shot weight obviously.

    20gauge subs are my thing, I use Vectan A0 for 30gram subs there.
