Are you prepared for the impending zombie invasion?
That's the question posed by the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention in a Monday blog posting gruesomely titled, "Preparedness 101: Zombie Apocalypse." And while it's no joke, CDC officials say it's all about emergency preparation.
"There are all kinds of emergencies out there that we can prepare for," the posting reads. "Take a zombie apocalypse for example. That's right, I said z-o-m-b-i-e a-p-o-c-a-l-y-p-s-e. You may laugh now, but when it happens you'll be happy you read this, and hey, maybe you'll even learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency."

I’ll admit I was wrong. I had no idea anyone manufactured sub-sonic 7.62 x 51mm ammo.
Missing is the discussion of magazine size, caliber, and round placement.
Lurker, I was thinking you meant to tell me there’s no *quality* 7.62x51 subsonic out there that you’ve found satisfactory so far...
I’ve got a National Match M1-A that I’d like to use as a test platform for ss ammunition. I’ve been hand-rolling my own for quite a while but I generally stay withing the recommended velocities and pressures for obvious reasons.
M1-A’s don’t like velocities much above 2600 fps or so. I’ve never tried sub-1100 fps before. Does that stuff have enough impulse to cycle the action reliably?
Thanks.
EBR requires manually cycling the action. “You want it that way” is what they’ll say. Best thing about the M1A is that cycling the action is much easier than cycling an AR10, in the case of subsonic ammo.
That's for sure. Thanks for the information. I appreciate it.

That was before they invented meth.
Depends on your location , in urban areas a suppressor equiped .22 with scope is good out to 100 meters & past 50 feet nobody hears a thing. 8^)
